| | | (...) Great point! From a LEGO builder's point of view, I look at unopened or unused LEGO as a waste of fun, creative and exciting possibilities! I think Eric slightly overdid it in his last post by calling Bruce out, as if creativity makes a (...) (23 years ago, 12-Jun-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

I'm a builder AND a collector and there is nothing wrong with being (...) (23 years ago, 12-Jun-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

| | | | | (...) Absolutely correct. As you're fond of saying, this is a big tent, with room for all. However, and I think this is Dan's point, between hard-core builders and hard-core collectors, there is a significant paradigm shift. To me (and I suspect Dan (...)

There's no artistry, skill or vision either. Collection is consumption. Consumption doesn't earn (...) (23 years ago, 12-Jun-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

Did I not say "everyone has their thing" and for collectors "to collect away and enjoy their collection"? How much more inclusive would you like me (...)
