The latter For those that don't know Australia does not have a shop@home dept or
wing of lego oz .But instead comes out ofthe US somewhere??

Also a problem in Australia but it's the other way around ,an example is the
santa fe loco it was bourght into the country and sold by one of the Coles Myers
stores called Grace Brother or Myers depending on which state you live in, they
also own target and K-mart over here and at times they to get other speaicalty
sets not available via LA ,because they go thourght the US arm of lego or
whereever they source it from, to get what they want ,any way thats getting off
my point ,but my point is that the santa fe cost $30 Aus at the shops and $61
Aus on shop@home plus postage ~$10-$40 which makes you wonder about the priceing
of sets and just how much of a mark up lego puts on all it's sets .
Also when you take into account that the Aus dollar has broken the 80cent mark
over the US dollar and that the prices as seen on shop@home have not dropped or
have in any way changed it makes me think where is all this spare change
going??? Lego A/G is still a pirvate company I believe still so It must be
lining some one purse, bescause there is no share holders looking for a nice
return

yep noticed this to on the Aus site.
Eli it's been a long time between post just need to get this off my chest.
