I buy the new ones, but I'd also buy the old ones, namely the original run of late 70's sets. My parents couldn't afford to buy me the largest sets when I was a youngster, so I missed out on the Galaxy Explorer and the large bases. ~Mark "Muffin (...)

That could be fun as well. :^) I could build a GE with my current parts, but I don't have the "ship registration" brick, and that's a model I might want to have sitting around untouched... it's history, ya know? ~Mark "Muffin Head" Sandlin (24 years ago, 30-Oct-00, to lugnet.build.contests, lugnet.space)
