There's nothing like spending $600 in sets to get the parts needed to build
a kit that sells for less than $200!  I think I'll be happy just to make my

That reminds me...  Brad J. mentioned a few months ago that one thing LD is
potentially considering as a website function for LSAH is allowing people to
design and upload MOC's and let other people buy copies of them.  Thus,
indirectly, it may be possible that TLC would sell your designs -- all you'd
need to do is convert them to the right format, whatever that turns out to be
if they end up doing something like this.
