Even earlier- this set from 1975 got a lot of those hats in it! It's even • from
the minifig-time the arms and legs were fixed to the body...

   That set does indeed have a lot of cowboy hats, but don't let that make
you think the hats were easy to find  - that set is a really tough set to
find.  I am glad they brought back the cowboy hat.

   In Idea Book 250, there are some Cowboy hats and other weird pieces that
were really hard to find by the time that idea book came out.  Apparently
they had a lot of old stock in their model shop.  I wonder if thats still
the case.

The western train (1976) even has a better of the hats:

Anyway the hat appeared in some town sets also (I have about a dozen of • these
hats and I don't own any western set...)

(...) Everything in all the Legoland/System/Technic(and I assume all others) Idea Books is made with specific sets. That is so anyone can build anything in them, if they have the right sets. Of course, finding the sets is another problem... ;) Jeff (25 years ago, 16-Jan-00, to lugnet.general, lugnet.town)
