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 (...)

(...) 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 John, I get what you're saying. Personally, I just don't see the point in buying a toy that you're never going to play with.

(...) They can, however, deplete an area, making it difficult for regular customers, especially in rural areas. It's incredibly disappointing to find out that a set has been released, then drive two hours to the "local" Toys R Us, only to find that (...) (16 years ago, 9-Sep-08, to lugnet.starwars, FTX)

(...) Elroy, I would call the store before I go. I have given up trying to get anything from TRS as they are usually way behind shop at home. Also not all of Lego sets are released to the stores.
