Yeah, although we're not the majority here or nowhere near it, there are quite
a few JrFOLs (as some people like to call them - I don't...), basically I
think 12-18 is probably the toughest age for lego; even adults are beginning
to get recognition, I mean, look at all the local LUGs and such...
Teenagers still have peer pressure (believe me, I know, I'm 16), and it's
tough. I had a year or two of "dim ages", but luckily snapped out of it
quickly.

You might want to try printing them - in B&W, I bet, would be good enough.

Well, you can always take them apart... that makes up room, and just stuffing
them in bins works after that, if you're too lazy to sort... (like moi ;-)

We have that in common, then. I'm a killer for castle...

Course not... I'd love some classic town if I could get my hands on some, but
I can't, and anyway, I'm on castle now.

Ugh - ouch. Same here... I didn't even ask for the BIG sets... boy...

Hehe... stay away from Larry in .debate ;-)
There isn't much I can tell you, I'm sure you'll discover things as you go
along. And if not, you can always ask something in lugnet.faq!
