Hi, Pam!
It seems like the West Michigan stores are (generally) running lower
inventory on LEGO than they used to... And the sales aren't as good.
If you happen to find one of the Shell promo sets #2536 (the Divers
jetski), I'd definitely be interested. But that was from quite awhile
ago, promotional-set-wise (Huw has it listed as 1997), so it seems
unlikely. Actually, I'd be interested in any of the sets from the
tiny-set promotion.
