IT'S NUTS, but that's LEGO Canada.

Hi Iris, (...) Set 7470 is not built for minifigs. Instead, it is a semi-detailed model of the Discovery. It's much bigger than the shuttles in the old shuttle sets, such as 1682 or 6339 (but not as big as the 8480 technic shuttle). Calum wrote a (...) (21 years ago, 28-Nov-03, to lugnet.loc.ca)

Well you won't find much at any small store till After December 15-20th at least, LEGO is not shipping to Canadian dealers till the 15th so depending on how close they are they might have stock, but very limited, one case of each item and that's it.
