I'm on a clearance-only policy right now; since Xmas, I've increased my
collection by about 50% only purchasing sets 45-85% on clearance at Target, KB,
Amazon, & Kohl's, not to mention a terrific run of garage sale hauls that have
increased the collection another 50%. So far, all have been of the old color;
the only new grey in the collection is the 4500 Snowspeeder I got during a KB
run - and that one will sit up on the shelf for a while.
When the new sets with new greys go on stoopid-low clearance at the end of this
year, I'll more than likely end up with a healthy pile of new grey too. The
only thing I'm trying to avoid is the flesh-colored figs.
