Hi everybody,

It seems I have forgotten one point on the list:
- AFOL's spend their money on auctions instead of TLG products.

But not entirely. Some AFOL's might participate in auctions to be theme
complete, but others also do it for the parts. Some parts are no longer
available at all or in the color I want.

Another reason is the one that gets me into and acution.  Auctions are
the only way I can buy that Alpha-1 Rocket Base that was discontinued
when I *started* collecting, but Saw in my Catalogs and wanted...or even
to get, say the old shell Station, which I had always wanted but could
never afford in the 3rd grade.  I go into auctions only to get sets I
wanted as a kid and still would like to have (thankfully I have gotten
both of those)  If I could be Town complete...sheesh, that would kick
butt!! (even if it were only pre-92 complete..)
