I agree with Tom,
I doubt there is anyone with a larger inventory of rare LEGO parts than I have.
Yet I am giddy with anticipation about getting more parts that are considered
rare. Case in point: sloped bricks --- I have 140 regular sloped 2x2 blue outside
corners. These are very hard to come by, and I could probably sell them for a nice
profit. But no, I want more!!!! (I don't just collect, I build.) I would be
happy if everyone got the opportunity to get these pieces as well. I don't much
care if these pieces are rare or not. It may diminish the value of my collection,
but it increases the opportunity for me and others to build collossal structures.
My 2 cents,
Gary Istok
