Why is Lego subsidising these? (Olympics perhaps?)
and more importantly. HOW is Lego Australia susbsidising this? I don't think
the shipping out here can be subsisdised by suddenly manufacturing it
themselves.

And why then isn't everything "subsidised" ? Although I guess this is a
general question that can apply to just about any product.

Perhaps its one to ask on the letter
