Nah, I could easily see myself buying one for the sheer desire to
actually get my hands on something so phenominal I never had a chance to
acquire. I think desire is a better word.

I've never seen anyone who hordes yelloe castle parts, so I don't normally
associate greed to legos :)

No, I think it is the collector's wish to get a hold of these, and a smart
company move at that. In one way, it's more of a two way deal, than a double
edged sword...

And I need a 375 just for the sole purpose of getting a load
of yellow bricks! :)

Ah, I wouldn't go as far as that, but, alas, I would spend quite a lot
oftime building with it. That's for sure!

If the individual possesses "I have it and you can't" attitude, than
that takes all of the fun out of Lego. I say, equal opportunity!
