(...) To be honest I don't really know, they let me in for free......lol I am lucky in that the mindstorm runs all the trains, so it gives me plenty of time to talk to people.

(...) Yes. If you have any friends in the States, use the US S@H portal and send it to their address, and get them to ship it over. Even if it costs $100 to ship it, you'll still come out well ahead [1]. I understand US customers get free shipping (...) (17 years ago, 1-Aug-07, to lugnet.loc.au)

(...) It also pays to remember that the exchange rates used by TLG are determined well in advance of the price being announced (as announced by someone official sometime).

I haven't bought from shop@home for a while, but the exchange rate there is ridiculous. For US buyers, the UCS Millennium Falcon is only US$499, but for us Aussies, it's A$979. This equates to an exchange rate of 51c. At current exchange rates, it (...) (17 years ago, 31-Jul-07, to lugnet.loc.au)
