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 Lego Direct if it was available here. (ummm, that would be you and me). My interest in Lego Direct is bit less than yours. On that basis, I'm not prepared to divulge the figures involved, because I don't think that they're going to help anyone's case to get Lego Direct here. In fact, you'd have to say that Lego have rather chosen wisely in not bringing it here, because no-one's going to use it... Obviously its possible that everyone was simply too busy to reply, and that there is a huge pent up demand out there, only waiting to be unleashed by the news that Lego Direct is now directly accessible to Australians. But then...if we're too busy to reply to a lugnet post...what hope have we of having the time to place an order? I just don't understand it. ;-) Richard Still baldly going...

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 (...) (23 years ago, 4-Jun-01, to lugnet.loc.au)
