Hmm, I never checked the Lego Direct flyers, so you might be right. I know
our store prices are a few points lower, even after currency conversion, so I
assumed S@H reflected that.
And there probably will be a difference - credit cards (unless you have a
specific cross-border account) will invariably give you the worst exchange
rate they can get away with. But it shouldn't be a big difference.
Of course, if service packs ARE going away, it's a moot point, because that's
all I ever get from S@H.
