    I'll try it as both! It is meant to be taken apart and rebuilt, after all!

    Crutchfield doesn't have a retail location (brick and mortar store) in your state, therefore no state sale tax is applied.

    I don't think LEGO has a retail location in my state either, just a bunch of places that do sell LEGO products...

    Toys r us and Target are everywhere. Crutchfield isnt. Since it don’t live in the same state as crutchfield you don’t pay sales tax.

    Get this. California thinks I should collect sales tax on patches I sell online to their state and give them the money for it. Yeah, like that’s going to happen. They can go to hell. I’m not in California and I’m not collecting tax for them.

    Screw California!

    California is also proposing a mileage tax. They would record the mileage at every registration renewal or something, and tax a certain amount per mile, or certain amount per interval (like every 1,000-5,000 miles or something).

    I was born in California, but I'd NEVER live there!

    They only have a certain number of factories with a finite capacity. You don’t become profitable by building a unlimited manufacturing capacity (ask GM about that). Lego has to allocate there current capacity to building pieces for sets that sell the most. I don’t think the UCS is one of them. So low numbers dictate that less sets will be built compared to other sets that have more vigorous sales.

    Brick and Mortar

    What he said.

    California also thinks it can dictate how farmers in OTHER STATES run their farms. New law in California says all eggs sold in California must come from free range chickens.

    Just think it looks awesome as the buggy. Not a big rally car guy. But the beach buggy strikes a “cool” chord with me.

    Took the boss's dog for her morning (technically afternoon) walk. My boss told me to walk Tully for 30 minutes, but she didn't say the walk has to be entirely outside!

    Stepped into Busy Bee Toys (they allow dog) to browse the LEGO inventory...
