That's really cool.
With so much overproduction back then, I think we all miss some of the sets like these that were retail only and not in cheap packs.
They can be annoyingly tough until you come across a big pile of them.
Some of the HSN exclusives I believe are even tougher. I think most went to casual or non-collectors and since the price was high to start we might not see most of them for another 10 years or so.
I have a couple of that sort of set, and they're generally not even cataloged.
(One a retail exclusive that I didn't know about until a relative bought one for me. The other a Tv shopping exclusive that's got an insert that wasn't available anywhere else. )
