What is the longest you've gone without buying Lego?

Not including a "dark age". I'm just wondering how long people can go in between buying Lego products with all these sales. ;) Lately, I can't even go a week with all these coupons, sales and on-line deals. It is bad! Even while I was out of town on vacation I bought a set! What is wrong with me?

I'd have to look at my credit card bills but I think since October 2010, I probably haven't gone a week without buying "something" Lego related (could be a set, CMF, PAB or other small item).

I think 6 months.

Since ending my dark age last October? Maybe 2 months.

6 Months is probably the longest I've gone.

I think one month is the longest I've ever gone without buying, but only because I was temporarily out of work. I'm afraid that if I went six months Without LEGO I'd go crazy. (or maybe I'm already crazy and I'd turn sane after 6 months ;) )

Maybe six months. I've never really kept track. I know I do go in spurts of buying and building -- currently I have a stack of unopened boxes in the basement, stored away.

It was probably 2 months, it the time between clearance sales :)

I'm trying to go longer though because my wife gave me the eye when I brought back the last batch from Target :D

2 months. Clearance sales time like condor said. I'm working two jobs and just scraping by, so new LEGO isn't exactly something I can afford. The most recent thing I got were two magnet sets that LEGO had on clearance. Used 5 vip rewards to get free shipping. Wooh, females and TS3.

2 months, clearance sales are an occupational hazard in the past year or so. Before that maybe 4-6 months.

Judging by my VIP history and extrapolating for non LEGO Store/S@H purchases, I'd say it's only a few weeks between LEGO purchases.

Seems to be normal around here, but I'd say 2 months.

I think the longest for me is 1 month but it also depends on the deals and clearance. Last month was bad with TRU BOGO50 with 20% off one item and Target clearance.

I think the biggest gap for me was after Christmas to the Spring sales, so maybe three or four months.

Since I really got into Legos, about 3 or 4 months.
