Hi Kha-khees - sorry, I'm new to this forum so apologies if the post came across in that manner. I'm actually an Australian who moved to the US recently and am therefore very familiar with Australia's notoriously high prices. I bought some Lego for my nephews just the other day and I couldn't believe how cheap it was (even after you slap on the shipping costs to Australia). When I was in Australia, I didn't really appreciate how cheap things were in the US, Lego included, so I thought I'd share this info with those who aren't already in the know and are looking to save some money this holiday season :)
