If that's the case, then you're likely correct. No need to celebrate 30 years.
It just seemed odd to me that we got the "35th" buckets and then this year
there was just nothing.
So... was LEGO in Canada in 1963 then? It was my impression that it was.
Actually, it was my impression it was available in Canada before being fully
available in the U.S. Maybe this is just an incorrect belief based on bad
information or misinterpretation.

Who knows, maybe some day there will be a 10th anniversary LUGNET bucket. :)
