If you're looking for Mindstorms sets there not available though 'ROBOTEC'
do bring DACTA (I asked them once about a sensor and they say it cost like
250NIS, too much for me).

Not really sure but prehaps Toys'r'us cause I've seen in papers alot of
commercials of LEGO sets discounts (I wouldn't call it discout more like
300% reduce to only 200%) from Toys'r'us on Bionicle sets.
About what we talked earlier, I guess you right about it, kids in Israel
won't buy LEGO from there website anyway and it's leaves only a very small
group (I guess we're not even ten yet) of AFOLs (infact for years until

saleswomans on the stores use to look at me and me make up excuseses to whom
I buy these staff for but I don't do that anymore).
