I hold Lego in extremely high regard - you are confusing an honest analysis
of Lego on the "collectable toy market" with a derogatory attack. That Lego
makes a poor "collectable" is a *good* thing, in my opinion. You need to go
back and understand the sense in which I am using the word "collectable"
(i.e. as in trading cards, Beanie Babies, etc.). Lego is wasted by keeping
it pristinely in a box, and by it's very nature is almost impossible to
prove that all the parts, once removed from the box, are original. This
doesn't mean you can't collect Lego, it simply means it's price doesn't
escalate radically on the collectable toy market.

Very nice. Wonderful work - but I think it says something when you
capitalize "Creations". Nor do they remotely have anything to do with what
I was talking about.

I did refer to this in the message you are responding to.

And those "Creations" weren't made from parts from different sets...? Why
does the truth bother you? I don't quite understand why you have decided to
take this as a personal affront.

Ummm, just how old are you? I've unwittingly roughed up one too many
teenager here and I don't want to do it again - I don't suffer fools
lightly, and this ego display has worn awfully thin in the space of a single
message.

Would that change the validity of what I have to say one way or another?
