Wow, am I the only idiot who goes out and buys sets at full price? Whenever
a cool set comes out, I always buy 1 or 2 of 'em just 'cause they're cool--
I don't wait for sales, really... but I hardly ever 'stock up' on sets
unless they're on sale-- exceptions being the Guarded Treasury, Droid
Escape, Speeder Bikes and the Defense Archer...
But I do buy stuff for regular price... Am I one of the only ones?

| (...) Nope. :) If I see something that I like, I'll typically buy one off the shelf, at whatever the price happens to be. About half the time that's 15% off, but that's because I do more shopping when Zeller's does their monthly sale, not because I (...) (24 years ago, 15-Jan-01, to lugnet.market.shopping)

In recent memory, I have bought the following at full price: *All the Star Wars System sets to date *All the LoM sets (except the big base) *All the (...)
