The general friendliness thing is fantastic, and I may take advantage of it. I
could only offer the cash renumeration as I doubt there is anything in
Australia that you couldn't get in the US or Europe, and alot sooner too.

Most of the auctions are in the US, so payment and shipping would be using the
"general friendliness" credit card again. ;-)

We don't have many of the large tubs here (why not is one of lifes great
mysteries) so I'll have to rely on kits, ot getting stuff in the US. Since
Lego NZ have sent their stuff over to Australia there might be some
interesting pieces there. I think I might pay them a visit.
