Rob, Welcome,
Ah to be young again... This is definitely a benifit of being 14 unfortunately
I am 30 and most of my friends gave up and gave away their LEGO years ago and
those that didn't you could not pry a 2x4 brick away from them if you tried.
My goal this year is to do some serious Yard/Garage sale shopping looking for a
good deal or two. Besides that I now have a couple of nephiews and while I
encourage their LEGO building and will encourage them to keep their LEGO
because they may find they want it again in the future I think it is entirely
possible they will think they are to old and want to give it all away and I
hope I am their first choice. That said though I would probably take it and
just put it away for them in hopes that they will want it again some day.
I am still looking for my find of a lifetime. Actually I have barely found a
couple of things I would consider a FOTW. As Dave Eaton said here in the North
East the hugh discounts on LEGO seem few and far between. It may have
something to do with the fact that there are so many AFOL's here including Todd
and Suzanne who just gobble up LEGO for AucZilla. We did just get our first
Targets though so maybe once they build up some excess inventory we will see
some of those deals up here.
