dahm: They also discovered $200,000 in Lego merchandise—18 pallets’ worth—in one of the suspects’ homes and a storage facility. -- nm - Jovian Dec 29, 11:28
I truly do not understand why they became so damn expensive. nm -- nm - groiny Dec 29, 10:44 10
- a baggie full of plastic parts weighs about the same as a baggie full of pot and costs about the same too -- nm - zeitgeist Dec 29, 11:15
- Profit! -- nm - Mop Dec 29, 11:06 3
  - I just wonder how many more sets they would sell if they were 25% cheaper? - groiny Dec 29, 11:08 2
    - Now is a great time to buy sets at Target/WalMart/Meijer (but not Toys R Us) because they start clearancing some sets - TWuG Dec 29, 11:18 1
      - Hard to find but well worth it. It's like finding treasure when you see them on sale. -- nm - Mop Dec 29, 11:35
- Specialty parts. They aren't just variations on the rectangle anymore. - TWuG Dec 29, 10:52 4
  - yeah, I kinda wish they were still just the basic 10 or so blocks. - groiny Dec 29, 10:57 3
    - I love the complexity. I never could build Revel models because I was sloppy with the glue and can't paint at that detail level. - TWuG Dec 29, 11:04 2
      - but lose one specialty piece and you are hosed. nm -- nm - groiny Dec 29, 11:05 1
