Well they got sold there first and LEGO USA puts the new catalogues in
the sets earlier, probably when they first get them - I suppose it's
because of the US Shopper's impatience - just look at their Star Wars
fans for example - many of the posts in rec.toys.lego are about when new
sets come out rather than just waiting.

You live in Brunei? That's a new one for LEGO users - have you had any
