Well...on the basis of the overwhelming feedback...conducted at the premier discussion point for Australian afols...over the course of an entire week...it seems that there are only two afols within earshot of Lugnet that would want to buy from (...)

     (...) I expected the response to be not quite as great as the screams of anguish suggested, but this.... (...) Me neither :-( Still, all the more to spend on discounted sets! Cheers Richie Dulin (23 years ago, 4-Jun-01, to lugnet.loc.au)

     Hi Richard, As the only "lego direct" that we will ever have access to, will be part of either the EU/UK site or the US site with the associated "over the top" exchange rates and postage charges, I for one would rather they didn't bother offering (...)

     (...) I may have heard wrong, but didn't some people get an overseas order a short time ago and have to pay a heap in customs? If not then I'll have to get me a Canadian contact!

      (...) I had a squiz at the s@h prices. They're pretty expensive once you convert them! I think that, for now at least, I may have to resort to using some cheaper Canadian brand stuff. *shock* *horror* :( ;) catch you around ZaC Soden ---...--- (...)

      (...) Pretty scary prices for basic bricks. Lets hope the thread about the demise of the 1200 piece Blue Tub over in general isn't true, especially since it only made it to Aus this year. Though with the prices of the 4229 locally, it seems like a (...) (23 years ago, 6-Jun-01, to lugnet.loc.au)
     
          Re: Let's find out (was Re: Another Kick In The Guts By LA) —Richie Dulin
      (...) Especially if you divide the price by the total number of bricks, which is the standard practice (and the one which I use). Nevertheless, assigning a white 1x8 the same value as a blue 1x1 doesn't make for a fair comparison. With bulk bricks, (...) (23 years ago, 6-Jun-01, to lugnet.loc.au)

     Rule when making purchases from the US. Always have the sender declare the value as being under $100 US and describe the contents as "construction toy/parts" not lego. Canadians also have to pay GST on purchases made on behalf of Ozzys unlike in the (...) (23 years ago, 6-Jun-01, to lugnet.loc.au)

   Personally I don't care in S@H was avaliable in Australia as long as the S@H exclusives where avaliable to us through LA or through the retail stores. There are some sets and bulk bricks that I want - I really want some of the new trains. I don't (...) (23 years ago, 6-Jun-01, to lugnet.loc.au)
