   Where is everyone? Everytime I look here now, all I see is posts several days old or even close to or a week or more!!! Is it the time of year? or has everyone’s bricks melted in the Summer heat? ;)

I was presuming that it was because of the grey thing.

You should get that checked out. I’m sure there’s some sort of cream that could return it to a normal healthy colour.

  
   Hmmm maybe everyone has withered away with the news of what is happening in the LEGO world this year...

The grey thing, or the restructure thing, or the skin-tone thing, or the juniorisation of pirates and spiderman thing, or the non-minifig knights kingdom thing, or the minifig knights kingdom thing? ;-)

Makes a change from the Australia Always Misses Out thing, or the Such And Such a Theme Isn’t Lego Thing, or the Bulk Bricks Thing, or the When’s My Favourite Theme Coming Back Thing.

  
Note too, that it is distinctly the ‘off season’ for Lego sales down under, and sales traditionally generate traffic in .loc.au. While it might be nice to get some 2004 sets on the shelves, there not going to be at a ‘nice’ price for while.

Speaking of which, what’s up with that? Surely international distribution isn’t the logistical nightmare it used to be. Why can’t sets be released at the same time world wide. Seems to me they’re missing out by not getting new sets on the shelves for Christmas.

Oops.

  
I’ve got a 1393 McDonalds Bionicle Matoro sitting here in my desk at work... I’ll donate it as a prize for a .loc.au building competion if that’ll help liven things up (heck, I’ll donate it as a prize for a posting competition, if that’ll help!)

Ok, you’ve got the booby prize. What’s first prize? ;)

Cheers,

Allister
