Well I have been following this a bit and I wanted to check before I responded.
I have found some of these in an excellent store in Massachusetts. You cannot
order over the internet but they are happy to take phone orders. I have no
idea what the shipping rates are but you can get the set for $19.90 and they
have a few.
The store is "The Construction Site".
Their web page is: http://www.constructiontoys.com/
Their phone number is: (781) 899-7900
If things do not work out by calling them let me know and I might be convinced
to pick these up and ship them to you although that should not be necessary.
This store also has a decent selection of alot of sets that were out a couple
of years ago that you can't find in most stores. If you are looking for
something it is always worth a call just to check.
