I, too can relate. We went on autoship a few years ago to get 2 digit pieces, but last year we bought a newer house and moved, and with a Sr. in high school next year and some college after that, we had to re-think our priorities. Beside that, the larger pieces are cumbersome, (but nicely detailed) and I was getting some I probably wouldn't buy otherwise. So I have dropped autoship and started looking for specific items I want to add to our collection, like the original 17 and lights we've been to. That may be part of the reason I haven't really been on the forums that much the last 18 months or so. Thanks for the thread so I could share my goings on!!
