Well, I still reckon that it wouldn't hurt to mention that:
'Wherever practical we try to purchase our lego in Australia. However,
occasionally we branch out to get sets from overseas, generally for sets
that are either produced in the US or promotional sets for a company which
are only available in a small number of countries.'
This is after all, just showing that we are dedicated to lego collecting and
use. Anyway, that's just my opinion.
