Boy, do I know the feeling <g> I should start smoking, or something, to
justify the amount of spending I do - spread the "wasting" of money (as it's

IMO, as long as the seller claims all the pieces are with whichever set I
may be looking at, then I will buy it. I don't get *any* enjoyment with a
sealed Lego box on my shelf, so why spend more money? Furthermore, I would
only buy a set if I (A.) didn't have it. (B.) Needed a specific, hard to
find figure of piece, or (C.) For the figures alone.There's no way would I
ever buy a set to keep it sealed.
