Bet away. And since you admit you have a good paying job, you can send some of
that extra money my way so I don't have to suffer :)
I do agree with Bram, the trouble with being a JrFOL is that
1. most don't have the income that would help to buy all those Star Wars sets
that they would like :)
2. they don't have their license or aren't allowed to drive alone, so a parent
must be available to take them to the store
3. the store has to have what they want
I would love to be able to get all of the SW sets(at least system), but my
spendable money can't buy at the rate TLC is putting them out, and I have my
parents and an Aunt&Uncle who could both probably get me the $50 sets(at least
that's what's on my Christmas list), but that still leaves me spending @
another $80 a year on the sets. If my paternal grandmother was still living, I
could tack on another $50 set. So as I see it money is the biggest obsticle for
a JrFOL.
