Note: If this topic is too similar to the "What set should I buy" Topic, feel free to merge it. Hey all. I'm thinking about starting a Lego Club at my college next fall. I've spoken to allot of people on Campus who seem interested in Lego (even someone who's a sometimes member of this forum) , and I've been told by at least one person that if I started a Lego Club, He'd join it in an instant. My School has plenty of specialty clubs (Magic the Gathering, Yu-Gi-Oh, a Pirate Club (that ended, but I keep hearing about it)), and I've already been a President of Clubs in the past, and I think a Lego club would be a great addition to my College's collection of Clubs. In addition to visits to the local Lego store and discussing Lego, I think it would be fun to have a Club-Supply of Lego for the purposes of free-building, and maybe even building contests. The problem is though, I've heard I'll probably only be able to use 100$ of club funding per semester (and I'm not particularly wealthy myself) I may also have 10 dollar dues to add to that, but the problem remains, starting with nothing, how do I build a large-enough and varied-enough collection of Lego to enable the hosting of small building contests and allow for fun free-building and MoCing with only about 100$. I'd like to keep it to sets/Lego purchased in-store and not online too. I've thought of several ways I could approach this. I think I'll either try to build a collection that does have minifigures from most of the themes, or one that doesn't focus on them and build the collection of minifigures on a contest-by-contest basis, adding a set or two to the collection as an aspect of the contest (ie: use this minifigure and make a creation around it, or use only pieces from this set to make a coherent creation, or make a creation in this general theme) and spread the collection to incorporate minis from different themes in that way. So, my question is, which sets do I buy from those that will be available in stores this coming fall or now to achieve a small collection with only about 100$? What do you all think? ~Insectoid Aristocrat
