(...) Only $400? I think my record for one month was back in 12/99 when I spent $1100. I got two 6991 Monorails from DYA and the first space monorail for like $230 and then a bunch of Star wars sets. That was my last major purchase, and this is my (...) (25 years ago, 11-Dec-00, to lugnet.people, lugnet.general, lugnet.off-topic.fun)

On the 200 sets I bought this year, about 10 are not MISB. Some sets date for 1977! You can imagine (...) (25 years ago, 9-Dec-00, to lugnet.people, lugnet.general, lugnet.off-topic.fun)

(...) I'm happy for you... However, a person can NEVER have too many bricks! The more bricks = the more freedom to create. But, perhaps if you do become inundated with surplus bricks or sets, try donating them to a worthy cause. (no, not an AFOL) To (...)

(...) 1. Put yourself on a budget. $100 a month, $50 a month, whatever. I save my budget up for sales. 2. To help in the above, narrow your focus and limit what themes you want.

Help! My name is Kevin and I am a Legoholic. I don't know what has come over me. I'm spending way too much on Lego! In the last 2 months, I have spent over 4000$ on the little plastic bricks.
