> You will be able to order essentially the entire LEGO retail assortment (as

> sculptures -- including the Sopwith Camel and the new Star Wars sculptures
> -- bulk elements, and more). Pricing will be in your local currencies; for

> with what you see on LEGO.com, adjusted for currency rates. (For example,
> the Sopwith Camel will be AUD 76.95 and NZD 89.95.)
> Initially, you will be able to place orders only through the online shop
> (http://shop.lego.com); we are planning to add freephone order service in a
> few weeks. Shipments will come from the LEGO Direct fulfillment center in
> Europe; due to the significant time difference, this will have the
> interesting effect of being able to have your order shipped the day before
> you place it (how's that for service?).
> As those of you Down Under are no doubt aware, shipping costs to Australia
> can be very high. We are working with our carriers to minimize these costs
> as much as possible, and we will also be subsidizing rates to you for the
> introductory period. But we would encourage you to think of creative ways to
> reduce these costs further, such as working with your local LUGs to group
> your orders together into one order wherever possible.
> We don't really have the opportunity at the moment to promote or advertise
> LEGO Shop At Home in Australia or New Zealand, so anything you can do to
> spread the word of its availability is very much appreciated.
> Our team has worked very hard over the past few months to offer LEGO Shop At
> Home to Australia and New Zealand -- overcoming the technical and logistic
> issues has not been easy, but we think that you'll find it was worth the
> wait. We look forward to serving you and offering you the same terrific
> service that our other LEGO Shop At Home countries enjoy. (For the record,
> you will be the 14th and 15th countries to which we offer service -- we
> added France at the beginning of the month and Finland this week.
> Switzerland is coming soon.)
> Shop Well! (And then, of course, Play Well.)
