<snip> Gary, thank you so very much for posting this.

Just like many AFOL's/ALE's, USA Lego went thru the dark ages. Interestingly enough, it was around the same time I went thru my own dark ages. The years were the 1970's. In the beginning of the 1970's USA Lego sales were licensed to the Samsonite (...) (21 years ago, 30-May-05, to lugnet.general) !!

(...) Agreed. I havent looked much at maj.com, but there are tonnes of other pictures than lego. Micropayments on Bricklink could be the way. But - my opinion - it should be by used storages.
