Looking for information on some particular sets, no model number or set id
information known.

In 1993 Toy R US in Kokomo and Indianapolis, Indiana saw some sets that were not
mini-figure scale in the 500 – 1200 piece range.  Sets were of a castle (2-3
different sets), school, Roman War Galley, and a Viking long ship.  I have not
seen or been able to find any information since 1994 that relates to these sets
but I am quite sure they were Lego and not another brand.  I was a poor college
student at the time and was not able to afford to buy them.  Now that I am no
longer a poor college student it seems like I saw a ghost.

Does anyone have information or pictures that relate to these sets?  Thanks,
-Michael
