What do you mean, snide? We're being completely serious. :)
I moved back to NJ and around 65% of what I brought back here
was LEGO--most of which I had acquired in the last year.
As for going to the US being like dying, it depends on where
you go, and where you're coming from. Coming to the East Coast?
The thrombosis will probably get you.

95033000. Remember that number, and insert it whenever you
fill out the little customs tag. No customs charges, at least
not in any of the LEGO-consuming countries that I've encountered.
That includes Australia; at least, I'm pretty sure it does given
that they've never charged me and I've declared packages at over
US $800 before.
