This is like the train stuff last year...I phoned LA and was told
categorically that we would NOT get any train sets other than those shown in
the catalogue..Then they bring in the other sets without letting anyone
know. If this happens with the soccer sets, I know of one collector who will
increase his collection overseas, instead of in Aus. [Or alternatively,
phoning them EVERY day to see if they've gotten a particular set in...maybe
the star-wars buckets would be a good start, followed by any other set that
we "don't" get here in Aus till we do get them...maybe we should do that.]

And to think...they'd clear a lot more sales if they had a S@H service for
us and our little neighbour [providing we both had the same range]. Maybe
lego-direct will help :)
