Ebay and Lugnet are about the only thing that have kept me building, or for
that matter, out of my dark age. I'm doing fine myself, as well. For the
last year or so, I have avoided Bionicle, Jack Stone, etc, and focused my
building talents on Star Wars, Harry Potter and Ninja parts. However, It
seems as though Lego has strayed from innovative themes, to mindless, and
sometimes borrible outages such as the aforementioned (i.e bionicle)

I only go with Lego direct. I've completely lost my faith in the stores for
sets, now. Heck, my local walmart (which used to be my primary source of
Legos), hasn't seen my presence in the lego aisle for several years. Now,
only Ebay, Lugnet, Bricklink and, of course, Lego direct can fill that void.

Ah, I'm not leaving for that matter, I guess I just got a little offhand on
my replies. You see, I like to write (It's a hobby of mine, actually), and
I'm surrently writing a novel on my Lego sig fig, so when I reply to
something, I try to put my real opinion on it,
