But did you have fun?!?! That's the important question!!
I've spent practically evey penny that I've made in the past six months on
lego (Of course being a teenager I don't have to pay the bills or buy food...
but still). And it was worth every penny, and every hour of babysitting
annoying (or sweet) kids. It was worth it, for *ME*. The gain I had was not
material, but it sure is there. I don't regret any of these pennies spent (1),
and all together they certainly got to a few hundreds of dollars, easily. Of
course, that's nowhere near the cash flow of some people (say Larry, Frank,
the obvious) but it was earned with my hard work. And for ME, it was worth it.
Is lego worth it to *you*? That's what you should dwell on, not the exact
amount you spent... IMHO.
just two well-earned cents.

(1) wait, not true... I do regret buying a 6479 :-)

| Have I gone mad? 300 dollars later I picked up the Star Wars Falcon, Ultimate Collector X-Wing, B-Wing set, and 50 additional bucks for more storage bins. Temporary obsession perhaps but I'm not sure this addiction to Lego accumulation will stop. I (...) (24 years ago, 26-Jun-00, to lugnet.people)
