I have to agree with this. I can't imagine a used Lego set being as much fun
as a MISB one. Not only is the joy of opening bags the same as new car smell,
it's also all part of the fun. There's just something about opening up each
bag, hearing the crinkle of the plastic bag. Watching as the pile of bricks at
your disposal grows and grows. Seeing the little minifigs swimming in a
growing sea of plastic. Anyway . . . I just think it's more fun getting them
brand new, still in the box.
