Not great myself.
I have not had any time to build in the past few months. I have a table full of
half finished, and barely started projects.
Work life has gotten in the way. Life in general has gotten in the way. To busy.
Since BrickFest, I have only spent $50 on Lego, and that was on 2 half off 2003
clearance sets(4852). I'd have to say I am pretty much maxxed as far as storage
space, so thankfully I don't really need to buy any for some time to come.
Combined with a maxxed out Visa and a refusal to purchase sets with the new
grays, I am saving a lot of money. That Visa debt is getting lower, and I have
enough of the old grays to last a long time.
