America gets all these promotions,cool stuff and earlier release dates. And what do we Europeans get,right:NOTHING nada zilch nihil nul de botte niksni. But isn't there anything Europeans got? Yes:Fikou! But what is a Fikou worth against a copper mask,a Vahi(wich some got from Lego customer service),White Metal Krana-Kal and Sterling Krana-Kal(only available in American and Canadian cans),Matoran(McDonald's),etc... . And those sets that they get earlier,first I was glad about the release dates:Bohrok-Kal in March,Rahkshi in July and Makuta,Takanuva,Gukko,Pewku and Matoran on september 16. But what did the American get:Bohrok-Kal in February,Rahkshi in June and the rest in July.
But luckily we Eurpeans can now order them trough S@H or e-Bay,but they require a creditcard(and for e-Bay an 18 or above age).
So what is your answer,are you with Europe or against it?!

Yah, Although teh UK gets some stuff earlier, you don't see the darn things in stores... And geez, 10 WMKK on one TV contest? As opposed to the 5000 US ones? Guess you mainlanders still have an even tougher situation... But in the end, we can't do a frellin' thing about it. 5700p1|] |360...

;D ;D ;D "I AM an AMERICAN!!!!!!" yer right though, some places aren't as lucky but what can we really do about it. lego spends a lot of money just shipping to the places they do ship to, it could easily take a 15-20% decrease in finance just by shipping to an extra country.

I'm thinking it wouldn't even be a decrease. These sets sell bigtime here as well, especially the Rahkshi would be ripped off the shelves. 15-20% of Lego's profits? Do you really think shipping costs millions of $?

Plus the main Lego Head quarters is located in Europe, so they should give europe more, not America. They're wasting lots of Money. -H-
