    Re: the whole truth and nothing but the truth —Santosh Bhat
   I live in Australia where Shop at Home does not exist. Whats the best way of getting some of these sets? I don't want to trouble other people overseas to buy/package etc.. Finally in the last few years there's something I actually *WANT* to buy from (...) (23 years ago, 22-May-01, to lugnet.lego.direct)

     (...) I hate to say this but, "me too!". Can't we at least get them shipped to (LEGO) Australia or something? Martin (23 years ago, 23-May-01, to lugnet.lego.direct)
   
        Re: the whole truth and nothing but the truth —Shiri Dori
   (...) Well heck, I'm sure people would be willing to go through a little of the "trouble", either for free (if someone's really nice) or for a nominal fee. If you can't find anyone else, feel free to "trouble" me. In fact, if a bunch of people from (...) (23 years ago, 23-May-01, to lugnet.lego.direct, lugnet.market.shipping)
   
        Re: the whole truth and nothing but the truth —Martin Scragg
     Well if we can't get them any other way, I'm certainly going to take up your offer. I'm interested in 2 of the Octan Gas n' Wash Express sets, and 1 Pneumatic Front-End Loader. Let me know before you order etc. just in case LEGO decide to make them (...) (23 years ago, 23-May-01, to lugnet.market.shipping, lugnet.loc.au)
    
         Re: the whole truth and nothing but the truth —Shiri Dori
      Like I said, I'd be happy to oblige. (I already emailed this to Martin but this is for anyone else interested, as well). However, just so you know: I will not order any sets before I get paid for the price of buying them. I have no extra cash to (...)

          Re: the whole truth and nothing but the truth —Selçuk Göre
        (...) Here is a suggestion. The buying side can order the sets they want from online US Lego shop, by using their own credit cards, and indicating the delivery address as the address of receiving side. Then the only problem would be sending the (...) (23 years ago, 23-May-01, to lugnet.market.shipping, lugnet.loc.au)
     
          Re: the whole truth and nothing but the truth —Pete White
      (...) Here's my vouch for the helpfulness of Shiri re-shipping US to AUS items. Absolutely no problems at all, apart from Shiri getting a noseful of smoky second-hand Lego in one ebay item. The 'nice' thing to do is to throw something in for the (...) (23 years ago, 23-May-01, to lugnet.market.shipping, lugnet.loc.au)

       (...) And, of course, add me to the list of Happy Helpful Factors, be it Sopwith Camels or reissued Pirates. I don't smoke, either! :) I've never had a bad experience with NZ or AU transactions. all best Lindsay (23 years ago, 23-May-01, to lugnet.market.shipping, lugnet.loc.au)
     
          Re: the whole truth and nothing but the truth —Shiri Dori
      (...) Thanks, Pete, for the quick response (and I didn't even LYK about this!). I like Selçuk's idea here, which is a lot like what I did with Pete. He paid the auctioneers himself, I just handled the shipping. Anyone interested can use their own (...) (23 years ago, 23-May-01, to lugnet.market.shipping, lugnet.loc.au)

     (...) Hi Mel (and other frustrated Aussies), Feel free to "trouble" me as well. Pete White has been benefitting from my current geographical location (in the UK in case anyone doesn't know), and since I'm Tru-Blu, the payment details are dead easy (...)

        Re: the whole truth and nothing but the truth —Santosh Bhat
   Shiri, thank you for your kind offer. However, I feel that this is an issue that Lego (and especially Lego Direct) need to be made aware of. I have not bought any lego for a while now, mainly because there's not a sinlge thing on the shelf that (...) (23 years ago, 23-May-01, to lugnet.market.shipping)
