"I drove back here to Windsor, Ontario. Over the holidays and on the way I
stopped at some of the Zellers, Wal-Marts, TRUs, Bays, and Sears in the
following places:"
Hmmm - anyone that can selflessly visit every toy shop in a 2000km stretch of
Canada can't be THAT lazy. Crazy, maybe, but not lazy!
And he also said "Maybe someone else can get some official info, but me, I
figure they're "gone". So I stocked up (got 5) and was lucky to get that."
Okay, I'll bite. I am trying to find out about their availability on behalf
of a large UK retailer. So, perhaps someone on LUGnet can tell me the name
and address (preferably email, but postal will do) of a Somebody working for
Lego USA, who is reponsible for supplying Blue Tubs to Zellers, Wal-Marts,
TRUs, Bays, and Sears.
Once I get that information, I can ask about future availabilty of the Set
3033 - and see whether they would be willing to export it to the UK.

PS As far as I can see, nobody has yet owned up to ever seeing a 3033 for
sale in Europe. I suspect that this means that it has never been available
here - rather than having been discontinued as Duq was told.
PPS You wrote "Out of all of those stops and excluding TRUs, I found one single
3033 Tub. It was in a Wal-Mart hidden waaaay up on the top shelf, and was
still priced at Cdn$12.00 (US$8)."
Er . . .you couldn't go back and see if it's still there, could you - I'll
give you _9_ dollars for it . . . ;-)
