this must be the case world wide i am suprised more independant retailers
don't drop lego as a line.In Australia we are told we can't sell via the net
we have to place minimum orders and we must reach a set purchase level each
year to keep our accounts open. We are told that all retailers receive the
same pricing and priority's but then k-mart or big-W sell there lego below
cost after it has been on the self a week. I beleive it is the independant
shops who are subsidising the larger chains as we pay more and make less,
Where the larger chains pay less and make more. Lego really needs to
re-think its strategies to keep smaller shops happy too, it would be kinda
nice to get a half price set deal like the major chains from time to time.I
have been operating for two years and still haven't seen a rep , not that i
need to i think i know as much as a rep about lego anyway!!!.In
