I have the German Alphabet (includes ä,ö,ü, but not ß), and the Samsonite USA
Alphabet. There is also a Danish and Swedish set. I was wondering about the existence
of a French Alphabet set (with é,â,ä,à,ç,ê,ë,è,ï,ô,ö,ò,û). Or even a Spanish set. I
kind of doubt the existence of a Cyrillic Alphabet set, and probably no Asian Alphabets
either. At least not in the context of 30 year old 1x1x1 white bricks. Todays signage
is another story.
