Whew! Monty Haul! You've got some understanding relatives! My mother hasn't
bought me a Lego set since 1970 (but to give her credit it was my first set).
But my wife.. ah.. sweet bliss[1]! She bought me 5 new sets! That's where my
wife and my mother AIN'T the same person for all those who insist that we end
up marrying someone just like one of our parents.

LOL Now that's a great idea! Actually if you stand it, keep all 39 of them,
cuz your tree size may vary from year to year.

My cousin got me the "ultimate" one for Christmas. I'll never look at Mr.
Spock the same way again..

Ouch. My advice: check into a monastery and wait it out.

| Christmas this year was pretty amazing, Lego-wise. I had to share this with someone, and no one else around here would quite appreciate it... so, why not LUGNET? Here's the Lego that I was given for Christmas this year: Technic 8248 Forklift 8252 (...) (24 years ago, 31-Dec-99, to lugnet.general)
