The last year I ever found one on the shelves of a store was in 1995.
That was the same year it sold out at Shop At Home.
I'm sure that they continued to pop up on store shelves for some
time after that. But the moment a set disappears from Shop at Home
is when begin to get frantic about finding it. The shelves are
already usually rather bare of that set by the time that happens.
