This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

This is really cool but all I can think of is how as a kid I was never able to have any of the big, exciting Lego sets. It was always so disappointing to love Lego and see all the things I’d never get to play with.

Samies. Their catalogues were like porn mags for younger me, and I only managed to get one single pricier set of Bionicles after a long time collecting pocket money. It did frustrate me, but at the same time I was conditioned to endlessly reconfigure what I had and sometimes reverse engineer build ideas I saw in these ads, so, probably, I got more quality time for my buck than if I could got every set I wanted. Is that copium? Def smells like it, lol.
