Well, at the start of the year, it was $69 [inc postage] for the station.
Pity they didn't tell anyone they do this sort of thing...

Well, they are certainly welcome to correct us...Until then we're going to
have to believe what's here.

Which is dependant on the cost of the sets to the stores FROM LA...and LA is
the ones who set the RRP.....

Why couldn't they have done this from the start for everywhere, and then
just 'reduced' postage as warehouses were opened?

and 3) There's a factory there which seems to specialise in this sort of

Agreed...Although customer service could at least let us know when they're
getting specials in.

| I probably should've added this too: As most have speculated, they do recieve shipments from Denmark, and they only distribute whatever they get in the containers. So I'm not sure how many shipments they get, but perhaps its as small as 3/4 (...) (24 years ago, 25-Jul-00, to lugnet.org.au)
