So the OP can have one from the other "multipack" (called sheets), yes?

No dear, those are not the design he wanted.

Do try and keep up.

They told me they could only sell the stamps in souvenir sets of 6 for £3.60

So they are only selling their souvenir sets as souvenir sets - I am surprised that you are surprised at this - it sounds quite logical

You know what you could do, which is maybe just me having a rather stupidly simple and logical idea.

Buy the two sets of six stamps, use the two on the card you wish to send to Australia...but then, use the other ten on other post items to other people so they get a nice stamp in their mailboxes too.

There's no such thing as bad PR and if the Royal Mail are getting any sort of media coverage for the sake of £3.60, they'd be bloody chuffed at that.

It might be worth the money just to send a card to random addresses in Australia with stamps of our medal winners so the Aussies can see what a medal looks like.:T

This annoyed me as well. I wanted one of each, but I had to buy 6 of each so to get the three stamps I wanted would have cost me over £10! And then I would be left with loads of them left over.

I suppose the best thing would be to find 5 other people who just want one of each.

You must have missed this just before you posted
The colonials are currently number 11 in the table of medals with 4 gold, 12 silver and 9 bronze, so they are not doing too bad.

Shame about VP narrowly missing a final gold before retirement though.
