Hi Larry,
Its always good to get ones intentions out in the open. My concern is that
someone has encouraged Christian in Denmark to deal with people in the 500
club to the exclusion of all others, tell me I'm wrong.
Why can't interested people put there orders in to Christian directly for the
parts they personally want?
Your not doing anyone a favour by putting a $500 minimum on a purchase.

I still say there is no risk if you only purchase enough pieces to meet your
own needs.

I didn't put it exactly like that, but its probably a better description.
Is this what you had intended for the parts from NZ Lego?
If it was then my concerns were well founded.
Am I the only one that thinks this deal is getting a little slimy?
