in Aus. [RRP is 40-45% above cost from LA to stores before transport...If
run in Sydney, this cost could be fairly low]

Well, you also have a lot of Oz-friendly folks across various oceans who might
be willing to help obtain certain items and keep the Balance of Lego Flow intact
across the Pacific.  ;)  I could certainly do a little bit of boxing and
shipping at cost as I do a fair amount already, and besides, it's daft for you
to be the last to get everything in the new product lines.

PS:  Of course, I can only do the above until August--at which time I become
Europe-based, which is probably prohibitive costwise.
