What we need to do is push the managers of the smaller independant toy stores, tell them that we would buy lots of them if they got the soccer sets in, show them the sets in the current catalog, and ask them to order them from lego. See what they (...) (25 years ago, 13-Apr-00, to lugnet.loc.au)

Here is an idea: 1.find out from lego australia/toyshops/whatever how much the sets would cost here in australia. 2.then get a list of how many of each each person would buy, given the prices. Then when the list is long enough send it to lego (...) (25 years ago, 13-Apr-00, to lugnet.loc.au)
