BECAUSE YOU'RE FUCKING EXPENSIVE.
Seriously, go take a look at yourself. Even at Wal-Mart a 40 piece set costs, like, a million dollars.
In this economy, how are mothers and fathers supposed to teach their kids about spatial relationships and the value of sturdy, steadfast construction?
Screw paying for you, I'm going to Wal Mart and stealing boxes of the Childhood Memories(tm) that are rightfully mine.

Everyone
Disclaimer: Regards, Everyone certainly does advocate the stealing of Childhood Memories(tm).
