I've bought less Lego in the last year, but then that's mainly due to buying a
(non-Lego) house.
What it comes down to is that I don't yet regard bley parts as an incentive to
buy a set, but they're not a disincentive - e.g. I have bought 4508 Titan XP
(and would like another) for non-bley parts, but I haven't bought any of 4492
MINI Star Destroyer as it's only bley.
When I start bullding with bley[1], I will start buying for bley - and that will
be when I run out of classic grey. That won't happen for a while yet, but seeing
as I rarely take MOCs apart it'll probably happen...
No, what worries me most about bley is that there won't be enough MUGS members
willing to go partsies[2] in sets that contain it!
Cheers,
Paul
