Of course, but I guess IRS is a personal issue and as long as taxes are paid,
what would they care.
Exporting, governments just love exporters, and the Lego is manufactured in
the US (or most of it).
If your buying the sets retail,they can't really do much, because technically
your selling second-hand goods and this is happening anyway now on ebay, not
to mention parts auctions etc. But these are just based on my 'Judge Judy'
common sense legal viewpoint.

But that would be because they're buying wholesale, that's when your under
the thumb. If Lego would run their own business properly, we wouldn't have
these concerns. What's the three generation saying with regard to family
fortunes made and lost (see profit history last 5 years).
Shiri, check out this thread from the start regarding the Pitman brothers in
Western Australia, it's quite interesting. It shows you what buying power
gives you in 'muscle'. If we could marshal the buying power of Lugnet users,
it might prove interesting.
