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
the service in Australia. If it was Australian based, sure thing.
Most serious OZ lego maniacs have at least one "yank" they can trust to make
purchases on their behalf. There not such a bad lot when you get to know them
:) Canadian contacts are OK but Canada Post recently started using cubic mass
for international parcels rates so airmail postage is now exorbitant.
