I speak only one language, so please don't feel I'm in any way attempting to
pick apart your English postings.  In fact, I am quite sincerely just trying to
make sure that I understand exactly what it is that you are trying to express.
It's o.k. for people to disagree and debate things (in a civil manner) but it's
sometimes not needed when, in fact, the two people agreed all along.  Which is
what I think may have happened in this case.  :)

If you are a fan of the old Universal Building Sets (as I am) then you will very
much enjoy any of the new Designer sets, especially the advanced ones like the
Air Blazers.  I hope you are get some of them someday.

I think this is the core of this thread, and I agree with you.

Most certainly!  :)
