This is just awesome.
...I think it is awesome that they were giving them only to kids under 12.
We as collectors sometimes forget the real reason we collect and spend stupid money on our collectibles. We are tapping into that little kid still left in us that just wants something that sparks our imagination and gives us a little reminder we can still dream.
Sometimes we get way to caught up in the value or resale of our collections.
At the end of the day a little happiness is priceless..
PS: I do have to say though, that 1200-1300 dollars for a lego minifigure is crackers!! Yikes!!
