Just to clear up any interstate confusion...Woolworth, Safeway, Purity and
Roelf Vos are all the same store...just different names. Oh, and Safeway has
had lego on the shelves here for a month or two [though only general release
sets.] and hadd the 6809, 6820 sized sets in the late 80's...I remember
getting some of these sort of sets then.
