# What sort of freak
sorts LEGO? Half the fun is digging about in a massive container trying to find the right bits for what you want to do.

I was also surprised recently to see how expensiv ethe stuff had got. This means that my mum gave away literally thousands of pounds-worth of LEGO to jumble sales while I was at Uni that I could now be giving to my kids.

# i'll clearly use it for anything else

# Ouch.
Got the midi sized one for £23 in the January sales. Far more reasonable.

# Ooof!
I'm sure it was cheaper than that when it first came out. Still stupidly expensive but in a 'I might be stupid enough to buy this while drunk if it's very soon after payday' rather than two grand. More like about £600 if I remember right.

# jesus! that's the one, it would have made a sound investment by the looks of things

# the only way I could justify buying this would be if I won a stupid amount of money on the lottery :D

# pffft you only live once
although buying a lego kit for £350 isn't exactly living life on the edge!

# it is for me.. £350 or being homeless.

# Me too.
I had loads of the stuff. I reckon between about 5 and 15 something like 50% of all my birthday/Christmas presents were Lego.
