Dear LEGO©

[LORD DOOM]

Dearest LEGO© Company,

I am going broke.

Yours Truely,
Forever and ever,
~LORD DOOM~

PS: More LEGO©'s though anyway. Please.

[Count Blacktron]

Seconded with a bittersweet tears as I sort and build.

[Brickzone]

Ditto, although admittedly it's mostly secondary as I've bought from ebay - Lego are only responsible for creating those amazing sets of old. Still, for the first time in months I've no outstanding ebay orders...

...however I am awaiting delivery of my very first order from the Lego Store online; quite a large one at that!

[Donut]

I am in the same boat as you guys. There is just too many good things to buy, can't resist.

[Sir Kohran]

You're too right...there's stuff from both last year, stuff that's currently available and the summer range to buy from. Too much quality...

- Matt

[Dr. J]

If I hear of one more amazing set, I'm going to personally hunt down each LEGO worker and punch them each in the face for draining the life out of my wallet.

[SavaTheAggie]

At present my wishlist tops out at over $1000. Half of me wants to say 'Great job, LEGO!' and half of me wants to say 'Oh gosh it hurts! Make it stop, make it stop!'.

And another half of me wants to say 'Wait a minute, that's too many halves.'



--Tony

EDIT: Here is my current S@H wishlist

[Athos]

For just the currently released stuff, I'm up to $407. That doesn't include the tan house and Eiffel Tower yet, but does include the new harbor, which I'll probably pass on.

[pacman110011]

My current wishlist is up to $546, including a shirt and a keychain I've been meaning to get for years.

[Spongey]

I'm trying to keep my wishlist realistic enough that I can fulfill it, so I've all but given up on the Cafe Corner and Market Street. I'll also wait for Christmas for Hogwarts.
List:
Crossbow Attack x?
Joust x1 or 2
Catapult x1 or 2
Carriage x1-3
Towerx1-2
Ship and Castle x1 each
Possibly a Creator house
New Hogwarts

Make it stop...Please. On second thought, keep it coming. Oh, what's a guy to do?

[Emperor James]

5 star thread, would read again.

[Fry_slayer]

Phah.

You all cant be as broke as me.
Where I stay set Castle Siege alone is probably gonna cost one quarter of my net monthly income. But it is an evil which I cant do without. Be grateful of what most of you are paying

[Coatsy]

I've come to accept the fact that I can only afford to get one or two sets every pay period unless it is the big boy. Then I need to wait a month or two to get the money squared away. Trust me I am ALWAYS looking for a good discount on LEGO sets at the local stores. So that helps as well. I do have a good amount of patience, but not as much as I would like.

[Damien]

Because of all the LEGO sets of old that I lost in my moving around (big thanks to my darling mother for -selling my LEGOs- while I was out of the state), my wish list is actually very high into the -thousands-. I'm so screwed.

But luckily my currently-available set wishlist is much smaller. I now have three sets from the new Castle line, which only leaves (at least currently) 3 more sets that I want, 2 of which are Castle.

And while we're condemning LEGO, we need to condemn BrickLink as well. BrickLink has eaten into my bank account like -CRAZY-. Just too easy to get all those great parts. You don't even realize you've spent 400 dollars in two months until you glance at your checking account.

[Jacob C.]

I'm going broke too, though it's nice to see the 50% off sales on the lego store website. I'd like to see more of those in the future
