Yeah! dontcha just love it!

   That’s stores. There are at least two, possibly more (based on availability discrepencies, I believe they have at least three locations set up currently). North America is served out of Connecticut, and Australia (I believe) is served out of some location in Europe (probably, but not necessarily, Denmark). They don’t always have the same stock available, and it’s always possible for one location to sell out and not restock while another (or is it the other?) location still has plenty leftover, but they don’t seem to transfer stock between S@H locations. When they chose to abandon the good greys for the new greys, they probably made sure they weren’t producing anymore S@H exclusive sets that used the abandoned grey colors.

Last time I had a problem with S@H, they told me that LEGO from this side of the world (Australia atleast) came out of Denmark... but after solving a problem for me (which was their fault), they were quite generous :)

Good luck!

(...) See, that's funny, because when we here in Denmark buy from S-a-H, it's served out of Lego UK! I've tried to call TLC in Billund, but was re-routed to UK. Arne, Copenhagen (21 years ago, 3-Mar-04, to lugnet.loc.au, lugnet.lego.direct, lugnet.general)
