Kevin, I asked you this very question regarding the London Bus nearly a year ago. I tend to think that 70s and 80s Town sets were packaged both with and without shrink-wrap. I have had a lot that were (they came from Europe) and a lot more that weren't. I don't recall any sets being shrink-wrapped in the US, but I have had a lot of Town and Train sets that came from Europe that were. Maybe an older fan can help us out here... -- Have fun!

My wife yesterday brought home a 709 police boat still in shrinkwrap. It has a US price tag. I can't say if the store added the shrinkwrap or what, but it's tight enough that it caused box deformation (moisture expansion) (...) (27 years ago, 19-Jul-99, to lugnet.market.buy-sell-trade)
