Kevin,

Like I told you, you are too rich. Perhaps you could ask your fellow MonLUGers
to ease your burden by giving them each a big christmas gift. <grin> (I had to
try.)

Do not worry about sorting, Martin can help you with that. ;-) The time you
would spend sorting needs to be focused on building. I find this helps justify
having a bloated collection.

You are right, it is the fault of those holiday sales. Although it would even
be nicer if it was the fault of those regular prices. :-)

I would like to help you from drowning but the only life preservers that I have
are LEGO. ;-)

Jude

(...) Yeah, I wish! The 2001 sets will be a long way off for me. I have resolved to not buy any more Lego until I have organised, sorted and built what I already have. Of course, I expect that resolution will go flying out the window when the next (...) (26 years ago, 12-Dec-00, to lugnet.people, lugnet.general)
