Thanks for the info...The point of my complaint was that people are relying
on S@H to have both accurate descriptions AND Images, otherwise they are
leaving themselves open to False advertising complaints, etc.
Unfortunately, the item isn't listed as K2996 [how do you order K sets
on-line by the way?] but I wouldn't mind a couple of the packs...but I can't
REALLY afford them at present :( [anyway, I'm sure you have some good uses
for them :) ]
BTW, This goes along with my previous complaint about an item [the director
key-chain] that is shown in the S@H catalogue, and has "shop on-line at
www.lego.com" below it...but can only be ordered over the phone [A bit
expensive from Australia] as I discovered upon trying to order it on-line (I
eventually emailed S@H and found this out]
AHHH....I just realised...I remember Brad saying at one stage that S@H
wouldn't be expanding its service till it got all the bugs out...this must
be what he meant :P
[Now he knows the bug has been found S@H can come to Aus ?]
Benjamin Whytcross (Doing his best to help S@H get their act together so
they don't end up with Mr Fels telling them off for misleading/false
advertising... and slapping a BIG fine on TLG.]
