I guess "soon" is relative.

Any chance I could get those comments?

Cheers,

Photos are in my previous almost-dead laptop but the bigger problem is that I
have to spend some time checking carefully box art and instructions. On the other
hand, I recently learnt from one of my Italian customers that he has a new sealed
7730 but I have not received any photo yet. If he sends me some photos, I may
give a better evidence here.

So, if you don't mind, comments (under constructions) will be posted soon.

All the parts were checked by the owner.
What I learnt about this set:
Since September 1980, this set together with other 12v trains were introduced
in few countries: Germany, Netherlands, Belgium, Switzerland, and Scandinavian
countries.
They only produced this set and 7750 in 1980 and then the production stopped.
This is why I only found in the market of the Netherlands 7730 with yellow cones
without holes. Mistery resolved

TLG later decided to expand the market and started to sell 12v trains in UK,
France. Indeed, sets like 7730, 7720, were only sold in UK, France and Italy
for a short period of 6 months (September 1982-December 1982) this is why they
are so rare in these countries. It was for this reason that TLG went through
another production run in 1982 for 7730 which never happened for 7750 since they
decided to not sell it in those countries and only continued to sell (in Germany,
Netherlands, Belgium, Switzerland, and Scandinavian countries)few copies there
were left in warehouses. But they needed more copies of 7730 in Germany too so
this is why we have seen later productions of 7730 in Germany as well but never
needed to send more copies to the Netherlands or Belgium.
So the later productions of 7730 appeared in: UK, Italy, France, Germany, Scandinavian
countries (and Switzerland?)

In 1982, TLG still had red motors produced in 1980 and yellow cones without holes
so they were used first but they came mostly with yellow cones with holes and
red motors dated 1982.
Since I bought about 10 copies, I can confirm that the black slopes
 
Part No: 3040  Name: Slope 45 2 x 1
* 
3040 Slope 45 2 x 1
Parts: Slope {Black}
appeared in those copies from 1982. Also the neat sold in France comes with 3040
slopes (with bottom tubes).
I still do not know the transition time for
 
Part No: 3040  Name: Slope 45 2 x 1
* 
3040 Slope 45 2 x 1
Parts: Slope
(with bottom tubes). It is either 1981 or 1982.
