Yep-- I can remember looking at the catalogs and thinking "I can't wait"
(though I was only 10 at the time, so I wouldn't have gotten them on the
"release dates" anyway; I'd still have to wait for my birthday or Xmas).

I checked the 1987 catalog, and according to it, Blacktron was "Available"
April 1, 1987. And oddly enough the Light & Sound sets were "Available"
September 1, 1987.
