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..)
