No, LA don't have them and apparently are not getting more.  When they did

How urgent is your need?  If you could stand the shipping time, it might be
cheaper to get someone in the US to get them for you and ship them (I'm not
sure, they are $27.99 USD, but if you were after more than one set, it might
work...)

That (28 USD) translates to $42 CDN (and I think your dollar is worth about as
much as ours...we're hovering at the 63-5 cent mark)

I wish! The Aussie dollar is worth 49-point-something US cents so we're
looking at around $A56 anyway and then there's international shipping on top
(not to mention fees for exchange).  Cheaper and easier to get them here in
Australia, thanks for mentioning that option though.

I've just got to find someone on the mainland who can go fetch!  (I don't
think I've ever seen a system train set of any sort on the shelf in Tasmania...)
