| (...) First, thanks for posting this information! Second, how many pieces are in the set? Third, is a new catalog included, or is it the same one from late 2003 (i.e., does not include the Warthog itself?) Fourth, you're a fink for finding this set (...)

(...) 545, plus extras-i usually get extra pieces in MB sets (...) same old 2003 catalog (...) i'm a double fink-i built it too! :D I also found more 'new' pieces: a 1x2 45 degree slope with no studs- so you can make (...)

Here are renderings of some of the pieces you described, though I foolishly omitted the new 45-degree slope element: (URL) (...) (21 years ago, 24-Jun-04, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

The sets themselves appear to be identical, but the boxes are slightly different, and one is listed as set #9789 and the other is #3707. The price and piece-counts are the (...)

A search on the (URL) MEGABLOKS website> returns no hits for "9652," but unfortunately that's not quite conclusive since "3707" doesn't show up, either. In any case, I'll do some (...)
