Just a couple of minor gripes about TLG's "international" approach...

1) Having a look on their shop site, I went to see when if the Harry • Potter
E2 sets were available, only to get a pop-up saying they would be • available
this coming friday...It could be just me, but I thought this was the • Friday
they are refering to, and it is nearly half gone. Could it be that they
really mean "coming this Friday, US time?"

2) On the back of an in-box Explore catalogue [ number 417.8246, • copy-right
2002. ] They give a list of telephone numbers for different countries,
presumably so that people in these countries can contact their local LEGO
company...strangely enough, I doubt dialling the number given for most
countries would work if you dialled them as printed...EXCEPT for Canada • and
the US. [even Denmark would have trouble with them.]

An example of some of the numbers:
Australia: 0064 61 294 28 9666
Canada [English]: 1-800-822-4534
Denmark: 0045 79 50 69 79
New Zealand: 0064 92 62 20 98
UK Limited: 0044 (0) 8457 080 070
US: 1-800-822-4534

So what I'd like to know is if the LEGO company ever plans on treating • those
people who don't live in the US/Canada in an equal way to those who do • live
there, or if they have decided that they are going to treat one group of
customers as a privileged area, and expect everyone else to accept this.

[as a further example, on LEGO's shop site, have a look at the "special
collections" or "pens" areas in a country, and then compare to the US
offering...]
