I remember finding roof parts packs in a store here in Vancouver in the
early 90's, when my daughter was into building large houses and we
always needed (still need!) more roof bricks. That store no longer has
them, of course: don't know when they stopped being available. At the
time they were not under the counter or anything special, just out on
the shelves.

Kevin, make sure you ask if they have any old LEGO or spare parts (in German
it's "ersatz teile").  Asking if they have old LEGO has netted me some
pretty neat stuff (2 wooden box sets, 2 Thatcher Perkins Locomotives, 40 old
supplemental parts packs, lots of sets from the 1970s, etc).  The best finds
are in small town toy stores (family owned preferably).  Happy hunting!
