I hope not! I'll take _some_ LEGO, but clothes and books will probably come

  What do you mean, snide?  We're being completely serious.  :)
  I moved back to NJ and around 65% of what I brought back here
  was LEGO--most of which I had acquired in the last year.

  As for going to the US being like dying, it depends on where

  The thrombosis will probably get you.

I'm heading for Tallahassee, Florida -- should I watch out for dimpled chads?

A bit of both I suspect: I'm not keen on making false declarations to
Customs (so less than US$100), but I'd rather do big orders occasionally
than small ones twice a week (so more than US$50-60).

  95033000.  Remember that number, and insert it whenever you
  fill out the little customs tag.  No customs charges, at least
  not in any of the LEGO-consuming countries that I've encountered.
  That includes Australia; at least, I'm pretty sure it does given
  that they've never charged me and I've declared packages at over
  US $800 before.

That's very cool -- I'm also a bit worried about the Gigantically Stupid
Tariff that Customs might add at the .au end...
