Hi there
can you please fix/adjust the ongoing issues with the regional allocations for
the designer program sets. In particular the Sheriff's safe which is sold
out/unavailable in asia/pacific even though there are plenty of sets still available.

I doubt it makes logistical sense to do that. As they are sold through the lego
web store, presumably these are going to be shipped by the pallet load to regional
warehouses and not distributed individually from one location.

I'm not so sure, with the first sale of the sets the allocation limit was
only on the BL side, you could add the set on the Lego website to order it directly.
this probably means the allocation is artificial based in some criteria to save
X percentage of sets to each zone.
