Lego imports into the US duty free. Someone on Lugnet dug up the US customs reference on their webpage. If you search for lego and customs in the same search string I bet you will find it. Can't say for Canada. (25 years ago, 20-Oct-99, to lugnet.market.shopping)

If anyone is looking for an Explorien Starship, I saw two on the shelf at the TRU in Colombus GA yesterday. I believe that TRU will trans-ship between stores, so ask your local TRU. They were still selling at MSRP of $80. Ray (25 years ago, 20-Oct-99, to lugnet.market.shopping)
