In the sense Larry meant it, I agree. But in the sense that you (...) (23 years ago, 14-Jun-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

Unless there is a specific unique part in the set, Lego rates real low on that scale (primarily the box). You can find any (...) (23 years ago, 11-Jun-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
