Are my parents blind?!
This Christmas I got NO I repeat NO Lego.
Gee I wonder if they have noticed that 6 ft long Lego ship sitting on the top
bed of my bunk bed. Maybe they just thought that 4558 Metroliner was my gift,
maybe they thought the dog dragged in that 1998 catalouge showing all the RESQ
sets, maybe they just thought that Ship was made out of Balsa wood, maybe they
just thought I needed more sweaters......
*sigh* Well there is always next year!

I know your feeling well! I fell in love with Lego at age 8, and since then that's all I wanted (I'm 34 now). For years though I rarely got Legos for Christmas or birthdays. Occasionally one set here and there, but if I ever wanted anything I always (...) (25 years ago, 30-Dec-99, to lugnet.general)

(...) No Lego for me this year either. 'Course, all I really asked for were books since, for me, Christmas is all year long when it comes to buying what I want. I got a few clothing items and some cash, but by and large, what I got for my birthday (...) (25 years ago, 30-Dec-99, to lugnet.general)
  Re: Are they blind???
 
(...) I'm glad my family gave in long ago. I think I've gotten Lego for Birthday and Christmas every year since I was four or five. Actually I usually get a lot of it, too. And finally, my family has realized my Anime addiction! Yaay! I got a (...) (25 years ago, 30-Dec-99, to lugnet.general)

Here's a hint for those of you who aren't getting enough Lego for holidays - give your parents, or wife, or whomever a list of "sets I want and promise not to buy". For Christmas, make that list in October or so. Put it on your web pages, or print (...) (25 years ago, 31-Dec-99, to lugnet.general)
