How do you REALLY know that you have an old brick versus a new brick. I think
Lego is not quite the same thing as old vinyl -- whose disk and cover can be
verified often by dates right on the labels and so forth.

My point exactly, the stuff isn't worth eBay prices even by the estimation of
a collector. If lego rereleases stuff, if we paid a lot for old sets -- we
will get burned -- but isn't it worth the burn if we get to build more readily
with the parts we have long desired?
