Possible explanation of why we don't get soccer sets in Aus (There could be some minor errors in this, but I believe [based on past phone-calls to LA] that it is accurate): In order to get Lego sets in Australia, TLG sends images of all sets being (...) (25 years ago, 27-Apr-00, to lugnet.loc.au)

Nicely explained, I like the diagrammatic use of arrows. BUT can you use them arrows to logically explain why we aren't getting the soccer sets in Australia? Even my sister pointed them out in the catalogue and asked me to get her some. (...) (25 years ago, 27-Apr-00, to lugnet.loc.au)

The way I see it, Lego SHOULD decrease in cost by about 10%. This is due to the way the GST is worked: Currently, each set is imported by LA. This is then sold to the retailer with 22% wholesale sales tax. The RRP is then 40% on top of this price. (...) (25 years ago, 27-Apr-00, to lugnet.loc.au)

I'm not too sure about that being the last of the sales till the end of the financial year, as we know LEGO will decrease in price with GST, I think most of the larger stores will try and clear their stocks before the price drops[1]. This means that (...) (25 years ago, 26-Apr-00, to lugnet.loc.au)
