Strange - S@H isn't available in the UK, and I thought I'd never find some
grey bricks. Then, two days ago I was on a sailing trip and we stopped at
Lymington, just south of the New Forest. In a toyshop there I found an old
box of Lego with set number #805, marked 'Supplementary Set from 5 years'.
The 'not for children under 36 months' warning appears on the bottom in
Fench, Italian, Greek and Swedish, but not English. Then it says 'Made by
Lego AG, Switzerland (C) 1986 LEGO Group. I don't think this set was ever
officially available in the UK (I don't recall ever seeing grey bricks in
any catalogues - I would probably have got them for Classic Space models
back in 1986), but it contains exactly those bricks described as Service
Pack #5145. Unfortunately, they didn't have any more - and I had to explain
to the rest of the crew why I was buying Lego.
I'll be glad when the Lego world shop re-opens. The national boundaries on
what Lego sets are available have always bugged me. I know they still want
to vary release internationally for high street sales purposes, but I'll be
glad when you can buy what you want, wherever you are.
