I'm optimistic about GetTheToys, but I think that its mainly because I just want their site to work so badly (I'm saving up for a big purchase). However, despite all my plugging for Bestlock, I have never actually ordered from GetTheToys, and I too (...) (25 years ago, 15-Nov-00, to lugnet.castle, lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

(...) I've seen some others, mainly in Woolworths/Big W, small toyshops and "Crazy Discount" type stores. Except for the curio-factor, don't bother.

(...) I'm not sure why I took that with such a negative bent. But I'll think aloud for a bit. (warning, this is going to be rambling, long, and might turn into a rant) I think Lego is pretty cool.

(...) Alrighty. Your ID Card should arrive within 4-6 business days (...) Nah. In this case, "religious fervor" boils down to "I like LEGO because it's LEGO.
