By an amazing coincidence, I just got an email from LEGO.com this morning that
says that they have free shipping on orders of $75 or more, and when I go to
http://shop.lego.com/ they have the free shipping promotion right on the main
page. That would take away $12.95 from your order plus a little of the tax. Of
course, I doubt that free shipping is going to make the site load any faster.
