Please make changes to the following inventory:
 
Set No: 782  Name: Storage Case
* 
782-1 (Inv) Storage Case
1 Gear, 1984
Sets: Universal Building Set: Supplemental

* Change 1 Gear Red {case9 Storage Case with Molded Internal Tray with Four Compartments to case15 Storage Case with Two Sliding Latches 40 x 48 x 13 studs}

Comments from Submitter:
The listed dimensions are approximately the same as what is listed for the loose cases in these catalogs:
https://christmas.musetechnical.com/ShowCatalogPage/1984-JCPenney-Christmas-Book/0454
https://christmas.musetechnical.com/ShowCatalogPage/1984-Sears-Christmas-Book/0543

Case15 has the same dimensions as case2, which came out the following year. These two cases make much more sense that they would be the missing identities for sets 782, and 783 respectively. The Lugnet DB photo that's currently in use originates from a medium US 1984 catalog, but if you look it's clearly a reused older photo of set 781.

I have been looking around, but I can't find any evidence that
 
Set No: 782  Name: Storage Case
* 
782-1 (Inv) Storage Case
1 Gear, 1984
Sets: Universal Building Set: Supplemental
comes with
 
Gear No: case15  Name: Storage Case with Two Sliding Latches
* 
case15 Storage Case with Two Sliding Latches
Gear: Storage

I would like to wait for more evidence. Like was found for 781 and 783.

However: I did find a 1985 catalogue with case 15 for set 783 (see attached image),
the current case for set 783 shows up in a 1986 catalogue.
Maybe they were always behind with images??

After searching for a long time back in March, I just found evidence by accident,
searching for something completely different in my catalogs It turns out
that the inventory of 782-1 is wrong (and you are right), because the set image
is wrong. I just found the set in this catalog.
 
Catalog No: c84sahus  Name: 1984 Shop at Home - Mail Order Service US - 28 x 22 cm
* 
c84sahus 1984 Shop at Home - Mail Order Service US - 28 x 22 cm
Catalogs: 1984
and uploaded the correct image for the set. It definitely shows
 
Gear No: case15  Name: Storage Case with Two Sliding Latches
* 
case15 Storage Case with Two Sliding Latches
Gear: Storage

So, this request can be approved.

Imo this makes the timeline of those cases as it should be and we should not
add case15 to set 783.

For the record: Attached the image that was on BrickLink before I changed it,
which doesn't show a set number. As you can see the catalog I have is not
in a very good condition.
