Yup, I think it's weird too.

I think they're also that. :-) Remember the SHELL promo sets from 1998?
They had both low-numbered SHELL numbers (1-10 or something like that) and
4-digit LEGO set numbers on the instructions. For example, 2543 is both
2543 and 9:

To us, of course, as LEGO fans, it's much more 2543 than it is 9.

Makes me wonder about those old ones too...the Velveeta stuff is from way back
in the 70's, I think, when they didn't even have 4-digit set numbers (only 3),
and in that general era with Samsonite there is a ton of overlap. It's
interesting to note that LEGO is now using 4-digit product numbers on things
like the new pens, watches, and software.

Me too -- I'm still a bit skeptical, but there's not much evidence yet that
those aren't the set numbers. :-) I wonder if we could find out from someone
at LEGO who might be lurking...
