There are times I wish I were living in the city areas. But even the
Toyworld in this town sees the occasional special offer on LEGO - who can
tell what TLG's game plan is? I wish they'd settle on a standard of some
kind.

I'll have to keep an eye out for them. I definitely plan on getting more
7151's, even if I have to order them specially. I'll have to see what the
price is on them, first.

Indeed, I wish I had more of the nice folding bills in my wallet. :o)
Especially the larger denominations. :^)
Instead, I keep finding myself with fiddly and often unruly small change. I
bought a couple of the smaller sets, but certainly not anything spetacular
...
Does anyone know if $39.99 for a 6087 Witch's Magic Manor is a good bargain,
or can a better price be found on that set?
I've learned that it contains about eight BURPs, seems a tad steep to
consider it for Castle parts unless someone is building a restaurant in the
Rocky Mountains. :o)
Cheers ...
