The discount on V3, the makeup kits and the hair paid for my Platinum membership, since I was impatient enough to buy it at $49. It didn't have to be worth $100 to me, but it is. I buy big in sci fi and fantasy, so the space suits and the gypsys and the cyclorama and all the other goodies were just gravy. I haven't even started on the mermaids yet. They're definetly losing money on me. Sometimes you just gotta take the leap and trust. I'm not the least bit sorry. Emily
