Yeah, the budget is blown out of the water... Sears had the 4x4 for 100, HP
castle for 100, so that's 200 bones there...
Then I ordered the Super Car from S@H, so that's 129 American plus shipping.
Thank goodness the credit card's cleared...
btw, I took pics of the two versions of the 4x4 side by each:

Look at the bottom of the page...
I also endeavoured to update my set list:

This list reflects the sets I have bought new from a store or from LEGO. My
list of stuff acquired used isn't even started yet.
Anywho, thinking about forming a support group similar to AA...
"Hi, my name's Dave nad I haven't bought LEGO for a whole 2 days thus far..."
Dave!!
