This is not solely an .loc.au thing...

Cheaper net-access is one thing, and true; but another thing • is cheap lego.
You have NO idea how expensive and/or hard-to-find lego is • in non-US/Euro
countries. I NEVER EVER bought lego in Israel in the 12 • years (out of 16) that
I've lived there. I got it from europe, the US, any source • that I could
possibly get it.
Just so you get a feel for it, in the biggest lego-carrying • toy store network
(called Han toys) I would rarely see more than 10 sets. I • would often see sets
at prices that you would never believe, like 5571 for 1000 • NIS (at the time
~$330, nowadays more like $250).

Net access is pretty good in Aust.(1 in 2 people have access
to the Net)

There is a big opportunity for a US citizen/s to make a
living selling to
other countries the LSAH and full US range of sets, just tack
a percentage
on to make it worthwhile (the US has a low retail price + clearances).
Need I mention the coming Lego Direct.
Wait... there's the name ...Lego-Indirect.

Amazon will deliver books to Aust.,but not Lego, maybe
there's some legal
stuff I am unaware of.


Speaking of on-line sales, what's d-store like [price and delivery wise]? [I
was told by LA that they sell lego]
