Hey Tom, Thanks - I've been trying to remember the toy store name where I got the
large number of London Bus and Lear Jet sets back in the 1980's. It was KB Toys,
the toy Liquidator! (I don't think they have Detroit area stores any more.) That
explains finding sets that were 10 years old.

| Yeah, well, 50% off is no great deal FOR YOU. Me, I live in an area that stuff almost NEVER goes on sale past 20%, because it sells out before it can hit any lower IF they had any in stock to begin with. I got my first deep discount sets in AGES (...) (25 years ago, 20-Aug-99, to lugnet.general)
