Well, there will always be those who collect to collect. But beyond them,
buying and selling MISB is a way of guaranteeing condition of product. And there
are those who buy a lot of discounted sets and sell them MISB to fund their

money off of it. And if I think about it, a job dealing with LEGO day in and out
isn't all bad;-) Rest assured, the overwhelming majority of folk here collect
LEGO for the purpose of play:-)
