Is that what you call “stimulated package”, err, stimulus package?

Ahaha, nice work on the “Yanking part #208c01 since early April 2008!”, TBB guys. Well played. I’m still waiting for Josh’s posts…

I was going to make an inappropriate comment about the arrow, but I see half the internet already beat me to it.

Thanks Nannan for providing lulz instead of nightmares for once!

Have your “profits” been lasting more than six hours?

You should probably get a doctor to take a look at that. Its not supposed to be that color. Or that length. Or have bits sticking out of it. And I would advise taking the bus, rather than driving. :D

@Rocko: This curve really is excellent :-)
@ Dr.X: After a month of abstinence one might grow larger as normal, maybe even three times in a row :p

Is that an arrow in your pants or are you really happy with your sales?

I’m one of the more frequent buyers, as a starter Moccer.

I’ve noticed the same thing. Recently after a month or so of not a single order, I got three orders in a row and all were larger than normal (at least, for me). It does seem like people are buying less often but packing all of their orders for a long time period into one.

I’m almost out of minifigs though, so I’m waiting for the next round of Star Wars sets to come out.
