G'day,

Unfortunately, due to LEGO's low opinion of Australian shoppers,

*All* shoppers? Or maybe just some?

Not all shoppers individually perhaps, but certainly all shoppers
collectively. While we now have S@H in Australia (and new cheaper shipping
too), LEGO does seem to have a low priority for, if not a low opinion of,
their Australian market.

The low opinion seems to be indicated by LEGO not making their entire retail
range available to retailers in Australia, not providing Australian
compatible power supplies for train sets from S@H (and happily sent directly
to Australia), and providing us with the inferior 'World Club' magazine.

Or maybe just a very very few who whinge
a lot for no valid reason?

You mean LEGO holds a low opinion of particular individuals? And doesn't
provide things to certain markets based on these individuals' actions?

That seems to be a particularly odd variety of paranoia...

Cheers

Richie Dulin
