Therefore, Lego S@H in Australia and/or Lego Direct in Australia will NOT
bypass Lego Australia but will provide us with a phone/WWW sales interface

Their site has an under construction reopening "late summer 2000" message
which fits with Lego Direct's supposed September launch, although it depends
on whether legoworldshop.com will continue with the Mindstorms (and Technic?)
only range or will be the shop window for the lot.
