And what about places like Australia, where the sets cost considerably more
than the cost of having them sent airmail from the US..or even UK?
I'm personally hoping that LD decide on a global price for the items, and
then add postage to this, so that everyone pays the same price for the
parts, and it's no cheaper for overseas AFOL's to have someone in the US
order the parts/sets, and have them shipped to themselves, and then they
ship them overseas than it is for overseas AFOL's to order them from LD.
Otherwise, the US section will be flooded with overseas orders taken by
americans on behalf of the masses who were being overcharged.
Anyway, just my thoughts..
