--------> hey, that's my line! : ) Specifically when it was about 1$ for 1
sprue, instead of the what, $5 per sprue now? Ouch.

There is hope, I must say. TSR is turning around (under the benevolent rule
of WOTC) and has declared their intention of moving AD&D to a more "adult"
audience, who can presumably handle the words like "demon". Of course, this
is turning in the sense of "The Bismarck, with it's hull now half-filled
with water, began turning", but it's something. Even the mighty can change.
They just have to go broke first...
