(...) Fair enough. I never saw the Maersk set (Dark Ages were most of the 90's). The question that comes to my mind though is why would they rip-off a set that is so old? And how lazy do you have to be to not even take a new picture? It's not like (...) (17 years ago, 7-Feb-08, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto, FTX)

Maybe with a shift to Zellers, the Zellers buyers might see more "demand" and carry a larger (...) (17 years ago, 7-Feb-08, to lugnet.loc.ca, lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto, FTX)
