I was thinking about this $250 lego feet fiasco a bit. Now, we've heard all the reasons why Skam and V/vm etc don't keep stuff in print. But I really don't understand why there is any reason in such extreme cases to do so. Why? two words - venture capital. I mean, I personally would be willing to put up a few hundred dollars for a repress of 100 lego feet records or 100 vvmt01s (or maybe even enough for 500), for the simple reason that I'm almost positive that I could sell at least 50 lego feet 12"s out of my room, with no distribution aside from my own saliva and a bunch of stamps (hey, and if I did it, it would be at domestic prices). I'd make back my money pretty easily, and maybe even make a small profit. So I'm still bewildered as to why they don't do it. Just a thought. --- the humble abbott arthur purvis set his hand hereto
