Well, first, TRU apparently is having 50% off on Aquaraiders, and I've had my eye on the 20$ Lobster Strike ever since I found out it had a special piece I've always wanted.

And then I get online today and find out that the normally $100 Star Justice (and Space Skulls) is only $35 on S@H.

So you can see where my pain is coming from.

I don't think it's a matter of money. In theory I can afford it and still have enough for Christmas gifts and personal pleasantries and school books along with my winter break job. But I'm a college kid so "shouldn't be spending money," if you know what I mean. Or am I buying a set I never thought I'd own because it is at a very reasonable price--for that set? Hey if the USC Millennium Falcon goes on sale for $100, that's still too much to spend even though it's a great deal on that set. (Now, I've never paid over $40 on one set, but if that goes on sale for $50 you can bet I'd buy it.)

But maybe it's not that. Maybe, maybe it's the fact that my parents are around. I can easily order this on my debit card and have it sent to college , but they'll end up finding out later, if I'm not careful. (Granted, if the Falcon was lowered to a great price their glares at me wouldn't matter. I'd probably buy a few more for my friends.)

So alas, I don't go and buy this Lego since I really have no reason other than "It was on a great sale price! Oh, no, I never really expected to own this."

I wonder how my life would be different if I had more Lego freedom. I guess we'll find out in 4 years once I have my own place and an income.
