Jonathan,
If we rely on the number of Lugnetters reading this, then we won't have a
very big petition. I've had two replies to what people would purchase, three
including my own, this is a very small start. We also have new Adventurers,
the bigger SW sets coming out which will also drain the AFOL purse/wallet.
What we need is the general public to be aware that the sets exist. How many
use the catalogue to select their purchases and then go looking for those
specific sets. A country with our level of soccer-playing children provides
a ready-made market for the Lego soccer sets they just need some promotion.
It's been quiet over in W.A of late, have you guys thought of a semi-formal
organisation like the STUDS/SydLUG/SLUG over here in the East.
