Chris,

I guess I'm just saying that I've spent a lot this past month,
and although I don't regret it, I shouldn't keep doing it.  Is
there an end in sight?  Or do I just need to pace myself?

I know what you mean, my budget has been blown since December with all those
good deals. The sales have been more frequent than I can remember,
especially places that don't really discount a lot of LEGO sets often
(Target, Meijer, etc.) I bought, oh, probably around 1,000.00 worth in the
last month, mostly for my new endeavor, but some for myself. I also got a
hold of sets I thought I would never receive, like the original Aquanauts
lab, that was 40.00 for an 90.00 set, from somewhere, I don't know for sure
right off hand. So it has been a pretty good couple of months for LEGO
purchases. I am sure one of the reasons is the high price and slow selling
of the sets, like the Incan Adventurers, or Insectoids, etc. Well, here is
to deficit spending! : )

  Frequency of LEGO sales?
 
I've been astounded lately by the number of sales at various stores carrying LEGO toys. And, quite frankly, it's been pretty hard on my wallet. Granted, I just came out of my Dark Ages, but it seems that every time I'm ready to settle back and (...) (25 years ago, 21-Apr-00, to lugnet.market.shopping)
