A thought:  I hear that if one buys a case of a set, TLG will honor a 20%
discount.  All we'd really need would be to convince them to ship to a
foreign soil address.  Would *that* be so tough for them?  And if worse
comes to worse, we double ship their already boxed up cases, which might
make a break even with the 20% off.

standard policy per their tape recorded message is that they donate to
children's charities only, and they require at least 30 days lead. We
flunk on both those counts.

I did leave a message but I don't hold out any hope.

Does anyone have any contacts within a retailer that might be able to
get us the stuff at their cost, if it was shipped directly from them?

I suspect time is of the essence, the need is immediate and if it takes
a month to do this it will be for naught.

(...) Yup. PR just called me back. Said I should talk to CA, and when I told them CA sent me to them, sent me to S@H. So we'll see. I'd STILL like someone who works for a retailer (Meijer??) to try that angle as well. Time is short. (25 years ago, 2-Sep-99, to lugnet.general)
