Good themes currently available and a lower prices are Adventurers and Star
Wars, as for bang & buck deals. Castle is good, but it has seen better bang
& buck in the past (though it is my personal fav). CLEARANCE AND SALES
RECOMMENDED! Early January and late August are the best times. Watch the
Shop At Home specials listed here on Lugnet per week.
Best to you, it's a much more social addiction than you may realize!
