Yep, that'd work. Of course I can always try to get my company to send me to
our London office, for work, of course : )
Hmmm.... There are a lot of sellers on Brickbay that are in Europe. They
could easily offer to buy the parts from S@H once we've placed an order
through them, with a slight mark-up of course, and then ship the parts to
the US. Considering what Lego is offering in Europe, I'd pay a lot more than
the listed price for some of those parts.
Maybe it's worth saying (shouting) again:
HEY LEGO: SELL US THE @#$%! PARTS!!! WE'LL BUY THEM, LOTS OF THEM.
Oh well, does Lego ever listen?

| (...) That's the standard response, since time immemorial. I spoke on the telephone to Euro S@H (they're all British there, I think, so I believe the entire system is unified) today, and they think it has to do with a warehouse inventory in Billund. (...)
