I gave it a try too.  The operator I spoke with mentioned that they have some
of the Wild West and a few other UFO-type sets (I don't know those since I
don't collect that theme).  She said that a lot of people had been calling
regarding sets from the 80's and that they had none.  Not true..  I did not
bother with my list, most of it being 80's and a few early 90's.

I asked if perhaps they would make the sets and she (expectedly) chuckled a
bit and asked why they'd want to make sets from 20 years ago.. I think I could
give them quite a few good reasons...

Oh well,
Scott

Well, I just called S@H and Customer Service and both had the same answer untimately...there is no Canada S@H stock or if there is, they don't know where it is. The S@H representative said flatly that they had not acquired any Canadian S@H stock. (...) (27 years ago, 15-Feb-00, to lugnet.market.shopping)
