Just want to say a public thank you to Phil Travis, who emailed me regarding
the following thread, He offered to identify the mysterious set that had us
all stumped. (Thanks too, for everyone else's suggestions, although the set
wasn't as old or exotic as we were starting to think, I'm just really glad to
have it identified)
Ends up it is a UK release set no. 90 released only in 1978.
I tried, in retrospect to search for it on pause, thinking maybe I had missed
it before, but it's definatly not there.
Great detrective work, Phil, Thank you for taking the time.
My God, AFOL's are great people!
Rachel
