Hi

After watching some of the various posts in the different groups recently, • I
have become aware of the fact that Lego makes different components • available to
markets that appear to have a similar capability to support demand for the
components.  For example the selection of Technic services packs in • Europe, ie.
Germany, is much larger than what is availabe here in the U.S.  What is • most
frustrating about this, is that the parts I really want, are not available
here, but available in Germany.  I even called S@H U.S. to see if the • parts I
wanted were available.  I was told by the phone operator that the parts • were in
the catalog, but 'permanently unavailable'.

Well, I am fortunate to have connections in Germany.  So, I am going to • vote
with my pocketbook, and purchase the components I want via 'proxy' and • have
them sent to me by a third party who lives in Germany.

After all, why should AFOLs in Europe be the only ones who can make the • really
cool large scale vehicle models we see on Brickshelf?  For an example, • check
out http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=4296.  If LEGO would • offer
the parts that make these models outside of Europe, you might start to see
non-Europeans actually posting similar models.
