Gee, lets go back and check the flurry of activity in the thread…
*WoW* a whole 4 posts…and two of ‘em were mine!
(“looks like a dead-thread” you say, well your probably correct, but
first allow me to correlate the data and produce a conclusive list.)
You didn’t ask for it, but here it is anyways: ;)
–The NEW Hot Blood, Cold Plastic- survival tips.
*amendments are # 2.5, 7, 8.
#1. Scout-out the war grounds:
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
A good commander always knows his/her terrain. Familiarity
with the environment is crucial to a successful campaign.
#2. Dig-in and erect fortifications:
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Being 1st into the store can be the difference between sweet victory and
arduous defeat. Therefore, attempt to stow yourself away in the ceiling or
hid away in the bathroom over night to absolutely assure you primary
position in the mornin’. (A less illegal way is to camp-out & sleep outside
the store)
#2.5. Stay healthy:
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
A good breakfast and a couple minutes of stretching
Can make a big difference in the outcome of any battle.
(Especially if you've spent the night crammed in the ceiling . . .)
#3. Travel in packs:
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Team-work is critical in out flanking and out maneuvering your opponent.
By working in large groups not only will you intimidate your rival, but
effective blocking and screening techniques can totally eliminate their
access into you secured grounds…a.k.a. the Lego isle.
#4. Pre-battle preparations:
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Scope out the sets of merit and reestablish their location into a more
secure position. (E.g. take the given sets and stash them in the garden
section of the store [or wherever the lowest trafficked area is] to avoid
the melee that will invariably ensue in the rampant lawless Toy isles.
#5. Wear cleats:
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
In the event of stampedes you can assure that your grip will not fail. In
addition, those that you trample will live in fear of you and don the scars
you inflicted for a lifetime.
#6. Become one with the BRICK:
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
A proper mindset and focus will allow you to Visualize the victory. Just
envision yourself and the soon-to-be-acquired ABS in a state of ‘oneness.’
<Ohmmmmm, Ohmmmm…>
#7. Travel light:
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Don’t bring any dependants with you!
If you have kids or a significant other
that isn’t involved in the hunt they’ll
just slow you down. So loose the
baggage and your dexterous
mobility will increase.
#8. Infiltrate foreign command:
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Develop friendly relation with shop employees.
*This’ll allow you access to internal information.
Such as shipment-dates, product-availability, stock-quantities,
and most importantly the location of the ‘weapons grade plutonium.’
(whops… got a little ahead of myself there…)
Workin’ hard to keep this thread alive,

| To outsiders, Lego collecting appears like a reasonably sedate hobby. After all, Lego is fun and colorful, and anything meant for kids must be inherently pure and good. Therefore, onlookers regard collecting Lego as a relatively peaceful pursuit. (...)
