Methinks it is the former rather than the latter... ;) Life is Good.

5.3 a day ;) So that would mean "yes" :-D Life is Good.

Let me be the one to buck the system here... Although I love LEGO & despise Megablocks (of which, I own none ;) ) I believe that cometition is good for TLC. Competition is actually a vital part of any business market, both for the consumers & for the businesses themselves. If TLC is forced to compete with other companies (i.e. the U.S.A.), it will force TLC to continue to be more creative & to brainstorm ideas of keeping costs low to continue sales... With no competition, TLC could essentially charge whatever they'd like, & that is not good for us consumers... It is also because of this, I believe, that TLC will NEVER win a court battle within the U.S.A. preventing 'copycats' from selling their cheaper bricks (literally & figuratively cheaper ;) ). In the U.S.A. it is actually illegal to own 100% of any market & to use that power to hamper competitors (anyone remember when Microsoft was forced to split?) :$ . By suing others & trying to prevent them from selling their product within the U.S.A., TLC would be doing what is illegal in this country... AMD is currently suing Intel for having "unlawfully maintained its monopoly by forcing major customers such as Dell, Sony, Toshiba, Gateway and Hitachi into Intel-exclusive deals in return for outright cash payments, discriminatory pricing or marketing subsidies conditioned on the exclusion of AMD." Let me be clear though... I love LEGO & in my mind there is no competition :-D Life is Good.

I look forward to talking 'deal' with you when you get back :-D Be sure & let me know what you got there ;) Life is Good.

Jay- I sent you a pic of what I have to your hotmail address yesterday. I forgot to let you know here that I did so (in case you don't check your hotmail often ;) ). Life is Good.

That is correct, I have a bunch of both of these, as well as many Fright Knights minifigs that I am willing to trade for Crusaders, Black Falcons, Forestmen, or any kind of "Classic" minifigs... or even any "Classic" sets... If anyone wants to take me up on this, send me an e-mail with what you have & I can e-mail you pictures of the minifigs I have & hopefully we can work something out... Thanks!

Thats it! You've discovered TLCs new marketing strategy! :-D Life is Good

Considering my cashflow is at a minimum, I may end up passing on these... it just seems that eBay auctions are going for crazy prices nowadays... Life is Good.

I do ;) Life is Good.

well, if it's true, you'd think they make some noise about it... Unless of course it IS overstock that they are just trying to get rid of... then there would be no real reason for TLC to promote it... except for us LEGOfanatics... :-D Life is Good.

You think this has anything to do with the many new colors TLC has added in the past few years :D ? I find a certain sense of irony in that... ;) Life is Good.

I noticed those as well... |-/ Life is Good.

Tis' true we Americans can get some great deals on LEGO... & that guy has a bunch of minifig 'groups' up for auction!?... Life is Good.

Thanks for pointing this out to me phes, I have been watching it :-D ...although I am thinking it will end up WAY out of my price range eventually... |-/ Life is Good.

If the claim that TLC will only be offering pieces from the past 5 years is true, then there is no way this could happen... bricklink is here to stay... like any local Flea Market, but just for LEGO... :-D Life is Good.

Some people *cough* SW LEGO fans *cough* actually collect clone armies ;) Life is Good.

It is annoying... Good thing my wife can't stand 'reality' shows & I don't have to watch it :-D Does anyone view "Reality TV" as an inherent oxymoron? It seems that it is impossible for people to act 'normal' in front of cameras... that's just my opinion however... Life is Good.

As a member of the Armed Services, I can attest to the fact that whoever claims responsibility for this has done so at a time that may prove incredibly risky to their personal health. The USA right now has a definite "no tolerance" level for this sort of thing, & the mentality of our leadership being "strike before they can strike again" right now, may prove the demise of these radical terrorists (which is good, in my opinion). I have faith that they will be either destroyed or caught & brought to justice... I am sorrowful for those who have died today, & I pray for those that are in pain from these horrible acts. My prayers go out to them... These terrorists are evil people that have no regard for life & need to be stopped...

If parts in old gray & various 'specialty' Classic Castle parts are available, I am most certainly sold on this... black short swords, pitchforks, light Gray Castle Walls, slopes of all kinds, black plumes, sails, and many, many more... *alright try to stay calm, they can't possibly release those things...or can they?* if they do though, I will have to start a new Credit account just to pay for my addiction... :-D Life is Good.

All available Jawa 'plunder' will be yours my Lord...

Good luck in getting any "gold" out of those furry yub-yubs & crazy Gungaheads... you'll end up only with stones & clay methinks... :-D

I agree... mine was as well... :-D

That's difficult to believe... unless you are thinking that he didn't make you look so bad ;) No offense, but that guy was a freak... Life is Good.

It is on my list phes... & I have mentioned & you've laready asked ;) Life is Good.

So another American eh? From California as well... I have family that live in San Fransisco, Sacramento, & many in Redding... perhaps close to you, no? I am sure you will find that this forum is a nice place to come & talk with others about our LEGO addiction... Enjoy! Life is Good.
