Every time I go to buy an older set (one that Lego has not yet re-released),
in the back of my mind I'll be thinking "maybe I should wait another few
months and see if Lego re-releases it".  You know, do I pay 50% over retail
now, or get in an ebay bidding war, when it could show up at Lego Direct in
two months?

Ya.

to pay X for it" rather than the other way...  if I stress out for 1/2 hour
about the decision, that's a cost too...

So stop worrying and buy buy buy. Or sell sell sell. I dunno. ;-)
