The description for the 536-2 Designer Set currently states: "USA Fao Schwarz
and Sears Exclusive."

Similar to the 244 Explorer Set, the Designer Set was exclusive to Sears and
never sold at FAO Schwarz. I've attached both the 1967 FAO catalog as well
as the 1967 Sears catalog. Please remove the FAO association as it is not accurate.

Wow 418 pieces for $14.97 in 1967 is equivalent to ~$145 today! And people say
sets are expensive today. No wonder my parents always said no to Lego.
