Hey, things actually were better back then. Except the only thing I could
afford was the lego catalogue, so I usually had to wait until Christmas or
my birthday for new sets. I still managed to snag all but the BSB from the
original pirates line.
I guess I'm just bitter I could never get the large space police/BT2 sets.

Nope, I haven't seen ANY of the monster sets here yet. But maybe that's
because I haven't looked hard enough (local kmart is useless, and the next
nearest toystore is half an hours drive away).
