Well, I doubt Lego does do stuff like that... But I guess if he wanted to,
the President could probablly snatch the 400+ dollars in revenue ONE of
these Auctions would bring...

Well in general, I have to agree. I hope Lego dosn't get any ideas doing
this... It would be really a shame if they figured that we (well, not me,
I'm twelve) could afford the high prices of bids, and sell the stuff we want
that way (via ebay). I would hate it if a few limited editioned Message
Intercept Bases were on bid for $1,000+ and Lego sold 150 piece sets for 30
dollars normally...
ughhh..
