Sheesh, well of course. I mean, what else is Christmas and your birthday for?

EDIT: Oops, sorry I cut out your reply, KarenJ.

That's OK! I notice you are "pro classic smile". Me too. Is it age, or do I have a problem with all the many different faces? What ever happened to the classic smiley face? It's a face of beauty, unrestricted, unpollitical, unracist, not unhappy...

Having a building / display area is a significant influence in the purchase of a house...

When buying said house, you store some boxes at your parents. When collecting them, you accidentally raid the loft to check if there aren't any childhood sets put aside you haven't already found. (still missing loads of my '80s castle, bloody siblings!)

...when you don't buy any LEGO since you promised yourself to conserve some money but when you see a deal come out, you buy feverishly for the festivity of the items being on sale.

...when you go on vacation far from home the first thing on your "todo" list is to hit the local toy store for LEGO.

...your LEGO budget is more than your food budget per month.

...when buying gifts for friends/family at a toy store you always buy a set for yourself.

...your closets have more LEGO than clothes or anything.

...you have more than thirty unopened sets that need sorting and you still buy more newer sets.

...you can't look look at items on brinklink without ordering something, however small the order.

Good thread, funny responses.

... when you tell your friends that you get the chess sets in order to army build.

... when you have all of your boxes under the Ping Pong table.

... when you have started a LEGO black market at school.

... when your idea of fun is rifling through old CCC winners.

... when you can look the guys at school straight in the face and tell them that LEGO takes priority over girls.

... when you cried the first time you saw Jojo's Brickshelf page.

You are sitting in the local pub with your friend during happy hour and notice that you have not been looking at the game, the pretty girl, or the passing traffic at all for the last hour, but holding an intense conversation about the history of LEGO castle and the Oxford brand in Korea.
