Well, it does kinda make sence. The Internet is a mighty big place. Where I
work, we call it the Big Bad Internet ("Grote Boze Internet" in dutch)
But to comment on your last sentence there... we all know you are coming
from the USoA. This makes me think; is this great set going to be available
in every (S@H) country? The reason I ask is that sometimes, great sets[1]
only are available in the USoA-part of shop.lego.com. I'd hate to miss out
on this one too.
Mark -still not moving to the USoA, since his fiancee won't let him- de Kock
[1] the two that haunt my mind the most are the RIS-1.0 that showed up over
there at a _very_ nice price and the value-pack of 9Volt train track...
