I'm sure you do. My gawd, I wonder what that's like.
"Hi, Sweetie-coochie-pookums! I'm home!"
"..and how was your day?"
"Wicked Cool! I picked up MindStorms at Zany Brainy! They had them
in"
"Outta my way! I wanna play first!"
It blows the mind. :)

Wow. Puh-thetic.
<sigh> Lucas 101: He nearly ALWAYS releases in May. EVERYTHING. SW
4,5,6, Willow, etc. It's MAY, Space Boy.
He just released the name of SW1, BTW. You'll have to go look it up.
Slips my mind.

Something to look forward to.
I picked up Extreme Creatures today (to go with my already-bought RIS
and RoboSports). It's a bit disappointing (more-so than RS), since
the "bonus" feature of EC is a Fiber-Optic (or Fibre-Optic if you
prefer) unit (RS's was an extra motor). The excellent value of RIS is
rather diminished by the cost of the expansion packs, I'm afraid.
Still, I think I'll jump right on Mars Exploration. The anticipation
alone will make it worth it.
In the meantime, I'm thinking the Amusement Park set in the Pitsco
catalog is gonna be a must-have for me, as well as the AC Wall
Adapter. Whether I get Robolab or not is up in the air, still.
