Has anyone spotted other sets with a similarly redone numbering scheme?

I don’t know if it’s similar, but the MB Dragon set Raiders Sea Assualt
exists as both set number 9807 and set number 9652. I’m not sure, but I think
maybe the 96xx-series was sets intended for the UK market?

That’s an interesting hypothesis that hadn’t occurred to me! A search on the
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 more looking. I realized after posting that certain
other sets have been reissued under different numbers, such as the
Sea Racer (5801 and 9252)
among others. Sometimes they’re rereleased under different series names, like
“Model Max Pro” vs. “ProBuilder.” I’ve also noticed that the 10-figure SWAT and
Patrol sets were reissued as 5-figure sets with different series numbers, too.
And of course there’s the jet issued in gray and later in black with a different
nosecone as the “Fighter Jet” and “Black Eagle,” respectively, both with series
number 9709. Weird.
Thanks for the insight!
Dave!
