Fighting with yourself again?

I know--I’m my own worst enemy.

  
   Tyco’s Superblocks came and went during my early college days (aka my LEGO Dark Ages), so everything I know about them has been gleaned from other clone fans, auctions, and the occasional tiny catalog that comes with an auction lot. My knowledge of the Construction theme is even weaker--I have just two small sets and a themed bulk-tub, but I think the designs are among Tyco’s best.

The same seller also had a Dumptruck that I didn’t win, (too rich for my blood, I guess) but it also looks cool.

You should have went the 4 bucks man... I believe it’s always OK to pay almost as much as the postage costs to ship things...

Alas, funds are ubertight at the moment, and so I only made half-hearted bids. If I’d known how low the final price was to be, I probably would have pitched as high as a sawsky for the Dumptruck. I’m surprised that the winning bidder didn’t take a swipe at the Crane.

Dave!
