Nevermind, because you don't hold Lego in high regard.
It is a good collectable. Your not winning any admiration here by saying
that it's not.
Perhaps you have'nt seen my Creations.

Also, your forgetting that every year additional sets are added or new theme
sets are added to the product line. So sets go extinct. Making them
collectable. Pieces have a rarity to them if you don't know that.....
It really bugs me that you over looked this and how you simplified what ever
the heck it was you were saying about sets and parts and making them from
others.
And I'm the Legomaster! where do you get off Questioning me!
I want to see pix of what you made!
And trust me that's about as rough as I have ever gotten on Lugnet ever.
Freinds.
