    I think I'm getting too involved... —Jeff Johnston
   Well, I've come out of my Dark Ages full force - now I'm into buying old/discontinued sets. Any day now I expect to feel the creeping desire for a Guarded Inn steal over me as it seems to do every other LEGO Castle enthusiast... But anyway, I saw (...)

        Re: I think I'm getting too involved... —Pawel Nazarewicz
   (...) No sweat Very often I have a dream that I am in some shop and notice either old discontinued sets or sets that I really want (ie - 40 knights in one castle minifig pack - that's how they SHOULD make them;) So I could either say that the ID is (...)

        LEGO Nightmares ( was: Re: LEGO Dreams (was: Re: I think I'm getting too involved...) ) —Michael Huffman
     (...) I've been sick the past week, with a really nasty cold. I'd put a few sets together to past the time. But when I'd go to sleep, I've had these strange dreams about not being able to completely build a set -- making me frustrated that I didn't (...) (26 years ago, 19-Nov-98, to lugnet.general)

        Re: LEGO Dreams (was: Re: I think I'm getting too involved... —Michael Dorneich
   (...) I had a dream a few nights ago. I won a 5-minute shopping spree at Target. The catch was that I had 5 minutes from the "starting line" at the front of the store, and I could only keep what I got back over the line in those five minutes. So do (...)

        Re: LEGO Dreams (was: Re: I think I'm getting too involved... —Lee Jorgensen
   Hmmm ... interesting thoughts ... I would probably take two carts to begin with, however, only fill one and bring it back to the starting line, then grab another cart, and fill both carts this time, and bring both back ... hopefully within 5 mins.

   (...) Just check with security or store management first as you are practicing with property that is not your own. If you DO decide to practice, please post when/where, as I want to watch. :-) (26 years ago, 23-Nov-98, to lugnet.general)
   
        Re: LEGO Dreams (was: Re: I think I'm getting too involved... —Steve Bliss
   (...) Good point. I had been assuming mostly a (semi-)mad dash from the counter to the LEGO aisle, pantomime filling the cart (decision: go for speed-scooping, getting many copies of just a few sets, or take the time to cruise the aisle, grabbing (...)

        Re: LEGO Dreams (was: Re: I think I'm getting too involved... —Richard Dee
     The big question remains, what to get if provided with such an opportunity! Big ticket items which take up more trolley space, or many smaller sets, of which you could get many, but not so great piece selections? Or a mixture..... Grab a mindstorms, (...)

        Re: LEGO Dreams (was: Re: I think I'm getting too involved... —Tom Stangl
   Nonononono! Scooping is a waste of space. Reach to the back of the shelf, grab the rear box, put your other hand on the front one, squeeze them together, then pull the whole rectangular stack over the cart, and set it neatly into place. I can (...) (26 years ago, 25-Nov-98, to lugnet.general)
