Troy's a good guy, although given your remarks about people who buy

Its not about buying the sets for resell for me.  Its about TLC giving
everyone an even chance, that's all.  Why is that so ridiculous a thing to

Lego fans, I am saying that TLC should.  If they want my good will -- well,
they may just have to work for it.

What?! Troy is a good guy because he buys up LEGO sets from the stores and re-
sells them, but Larry is a bad guy because he has a project which requires
many corridor sections, so he buys a bunch of Nebula Outposts for his own use?
Or I'm a bad guy because I decided what the heck, there's only 2 6078s and I
could use all the RK sets I can get so why not get both? Or am I supposed to
be proud of being called an elitist?
