That's the strange thing...They continually blame Denmark and shipping for
everything from low stock to delayed arrival. You'd think they'd have
learn't by now how long it takes to get items here, and if they can't get
that right, then the least they could do is put a manufacturing plant in
somewhere in the Australia/asia area. Then, maybe we'd be able to get some
exclusive sets, and a good range at a reasonable price, not to mention sets
released at a comperable time to the rest of the world.

The lego trailer seen last year is back with some new
displays. This time it includes dioramas featuring the new • starwars sets,
Knight's Kingdom and the artic sets. Up the back of the • display the six
roboriders are posed coming out of their respective • cannisters, dispite the
fact that they're not due on shelves 'til Juneish. It's • probably not worth
a trip out to see it, but keep an eye out in your local as • it'll be touring
(as least I assume that's what these things do).

No sales associated with the trailer, bummer. As for the
itnery <sp?> it'll be
in Castle hill next. The trailer belongs to the reps, it' not
run from head
office so they're very sketchy on details.

As for more info on roboriders, expect them July and
catalog.2 in July/Aug.
They blame shipping/Denmark for the delay.

(...) Yeah, a lego china or something, wages are low, therefore that drives the cost down (we would hope) (25 years ago, 1-May-00, to lugnet.loc.au)
