Yes, I sympathies completely.
Wayyyyyyyy back in 1997 when Lego Shop @ Home was just off of the 404,
(24.56 min from my house) prices were competitive, shipping was free and the
delivery was fast.
But as of late, I really have no choice, I need the Guarded Inn, really need
the Guarded Inn, needin' the Guarded Inn like heroin… ;)
But, I’ve attempted to be a bit purchase savvy. I purchased about 10 Dragon
Riders (the ones Ben alluded to) for only $2.50 and used a free shipping
coupon. But now the exchange rate is quite high, and Richard (here goes the
third-person thing…) will no longer buy from S@H for a while! :(
Bye again now,
