No secret, just that they are in a different league to the rest of us.
Last I heard, they were buying so much lego parts per month that they
were dealing directly with Denmark and having it shipped direct to them.
At least that is what my contact at lego in Sydney told me.

Gee, that's pretty fair, not! Only want to play with the big boys, eh TLC?
That's it, that's what _we've_ got to do. Does anyone in loc.au speak
Danish?!?

I've eaten a lot of apple and blueberry Danish's in my time without effect.
We could always....
1. All change our last names to Ditman by deedpoll.
2. Setup a pirate Lego Australia (moored off the Sydney heads).
3. Pledge allegiance to the Danish Royal Family, or at least marry one,
   Paul, your single.
4. Get Helena Christiansen to plead our case.
5. Just keep sobbing... :^(
6. Get adopted by the Ditmans.

They are the Ditman family, consisting of three or four brothers (only
one is married). They own and run a successful optometry practice in
Perth and regularly put on huge lego displays in shopping centres. A mate
of mine in Perth has confirmed a rumour I had heard that they are
converting the upper floor of the building the practice is in to a
permanent lego display.

I've never seen them get involve in any lego internet discussion in the
last five years.

Wouldn't have the time from the sound of it.

Well, it's a pretty baffling mystery as to exactly why we won't. Apparently
TLC don't want our money. Oh well, it's their loss.

And ours....let's organise a street protest in Lane Cove....shall we take one
or two cars.  :^)
