and there it says in the recycle truck blurb:

"The hook for the pod seems to be unique to this set."

That turns not to not QUITE be true. That hook part also comes in 4564.
(http://www.lugnet.com/pause/search/?query=4564) But buying an out of
production 9V set to get that part is rather a steep butchers bill. In
fact, as the part is made from a different plastic than most, I took the
decision to stash that part as insurance against disaster when I parted
out 3 of my comm vehicles sets. Well, Tom Stangl weaseled one out of me,
I think. And some of the 1x2x8 med slopes from the gas tanker.

Now that Tom apparently bought out Kaplan, anyone with a 4564 they love
should buy a recycle truck from him to protect their investment in that
part. It's rare. Stangl should raise the price of it a bit and give me
back the one he weaseled... :-)

Hmmmm, I didn't buy THAT many of the set.  And I bought them over the
weekend.  I'll be calling tomorrow morning to verify that I am actually
getting what I ordered, and WHEN it will be in.  I sure HOPE they have mine
reserved, and will be able to send them.

LOL, the girl I spoke to on the phone who told me the sets are due in the first
or second week of March was named HOPE!Julie
