Or drive for more than 80kms to a LEGO outlet store to find special sets, and
did not buy anything big because 1) the code pilot is much weaker than the RCX,
2) You already bought the 8458 at a much better price, and 3) they don't have
service packs.
Or drive to every (8?) Zellers in your city when they have 50% off of some old
sets.

How about in office:
Everyone in your team knows you like LEGO.
Your screen-saver and wallpapers are box picture of the best LEGO sets.
You print out high resolution catalogue pictures from brickshelf and pin them
up in your cubical. Also pin the best one outside the cubical.
Put a bunch of LEGO sets on the top of the monitor, but leave the rare,
expensive sets at home cause you worry about missing pieces or the whole thing
get stolen. There is not enough room in office anyway.
Demonstrate the gun pulling action of 8001 to any interested visitors.
Trade your overtime for spot award points for that discontinued LEGO set in the
company award catalogue.
You skip free food to read the new 2001 catalogue ASAP.
