Many people have a similar story... if you read Lugnet enough, you will see
people refer to their "Dark Ages"- this is the time between when they stopped
playing with LEGO as a child and started building again as an adult. It
varies in length from person to person, but it is common.

Well, many online stores have LEGO, and often at a discount. One thing you can
find here on Lugnet is the Brickwise shopping report, which looks at some
online stores and checks the price against the "normal" price, and rates them
by discount. You can generally find some very discounted sets that way.
You can also try places like The Vault
(http://www.insidethevault.com/default.htm) which has many older sets, and
Sanburn Systems (http://www.sanburnsystems.com/) which has parts for sale.
