XCCJ's blog entry on his 2010 LEGO spending habits got me wondering how much I had spent this previous year. So without further ado, my LEGO spending for 2010, and what it means:

Raid VPR ($5)

Shadow Snapper ($27)

Atl Manta Ray ($3.5)

Space Keychain ($5 yet 0 w/ LEGO Store $)

Mini Torrent V-19 ($4)

Minifigs S1 (20?)

Rotor ($21)

LEGO Element shirt (~15?)

Skopio ($33)

Pirate Tank ($32)

Deep Sea Striker ($10)

BrickFair Bazaar ($30+)

Figs S2 ($16)

Figs S3 ($38)

HF2 ($8)

Skrall Star ($5)

Two Small sets from Target: ($9)

TS3 alien packs: ($13 (I've only opened one. Might just be better to open the other two or use them at prizes than think I can make profit on them in a year))

Web order of pieces (~$15)

Mosaic: Baseplate ($5 yet 0 w/ LEGO Store $) ($14 online) ($8 PaB)

Online purchase ($7)

Online purchase ($14)

Online purchase ($18)

Total: ~$366

Plus BrickFair expenses (registration, gas, food): less than $150.

However, the amount of good times had and free stuff acquired at BrickFair make up for that (of course).

I also sold quite a few minifigs, spare pieces, and a Viking Chess Set which gave me about $132 in revenue to spend on LEGO, so I really only spent about $235 out-of-pocket-money (not including BrickFair). Scary thing is I might have still spent that extra $132 anyway. But with the amount of non-spending I do on other things so I can buy LEGO (well, I did buy the sonic screwdriver...) and the fact that I have a job make me not worry about this.

2011's spending starts with the Midi-Star Destroyer ($18) and HF2 ($14.5), and I suspect it will be significantly larger since I'm making that SHIP, and spending more for BrickFair experiences!
