(...) It seems like you are irked at others good fortune and smart buying. I mostly disagree with what you have said. Buying Legos and putting them away for the future does not preclude buying stocks and investing in your 401K. It is not an either (...) (16 years ago, 8-Sep-08, to lugnet.starwars, FTX)

Hey Steve, You are correct in that my main frustration is not knowing at the time that the parts would be useful and then finding out later that they cost far more than what I would deem they're worth because of something that really has no bearing (...)

I have to agree with Adrian on this one. If you'd wanted those parts, you could have bought up on the set, and then sold off the parts you didn't want. I think the parts are expensive because they only appeared once, there were only 3 of them in a (...) (16 years ago, 8-Sep-08, to lugnet.starwars, FTX)

That's quite a rant. I am, however of a different opinion than you. I'm perfectly happy to prey on crazy Star Wars fanboys who pay a premium for the figs if it means I can buy a Star Wars set, use all the elements in it, and sell the figs on (...) (16 years ago, 7-Sep-08, to lugnet.starwars, FTX)

It's entirely possible that this particular equine corpse has been beaten so many times that you could read newsprint through it, but I have to get this out. If it's already been discussed ad nauseum, please just move on. After browsing Bricklink (...) (16 years ago, 7-Sep-08, to lugnet.starwars, FTX)

(...) Ironically, I have not yet had the chance to buy the motorized AT-AT (and I missed the first one), so I had not seen that a T-bar was built into that design as well. It does make me wonder, now, how exactly they got those lumbering beasts down (...) (16 years ago, 13-Aug-08, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) Yeah, I've started using it for that as well, but more out of necessity than choice. The previous version has a lift-off top, but if you grab it just a little below that level in the center, it picks up quite easily. With this one, every time (...)
