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.  When I called CS, the representative had no idea what
I was talking about.  She explained that US S@H has taken over operations for
all of North America and that several things might have happened to the
Canadian stock (none of which include sending it to the US) (a) It could have
all been sold through Canada S@H or (b) It might be sent to some of the Lego
stores here in the US.  She really wasn't sure what might have been done with
the stock but she seemed pretty adamant that it wasn't available through S@H
now.

Someone please prove me wrong!  I'd be curious to know what some of your
responses were when you inquired about the leftover stock.  I have a wish list
a mile long that I'd love to have come true!

your shopping lists written tonight and call tomorrow morning bright and
early, they can search for availability by set number

May I ask what sets you found to be available?  This would help many of us
shorten our lists and save the operators time.  What did they have that • you
were able to order?  This is exciting!

I just called.

The sales guy wasn't 100% sure.. but told me to check with customer service • in
regards to aquiring Canadian S@H stock.

He ran thru my Technic Wish List:

8862,8868, 8850, 8849, 8853, 8849, 8837, 8828, 8856, 8839, 8838, 8469, • 8865,
8880, 8480.

They ran through part of my wish list before I asked--they said unequivocally • that
CS were the ones to call.

The response to this that I got from Customer Service was that US S@H had run out of some recently discontinued sets (within the last year or two), and that Canada S@H had been providing some of these recent sets to fill in the gap. She said that (...) (25 years ago, 15-Feb-00, to lugnet.market.shopping)
