I can't remember where but I remember someone saying somewhere that if you want a new version to something you have, then throw away the one you have and the universe will have to bring you a new one.
A specific example - my tripod for my camera is (literally) on its last leg. It'll stay propped up to take a picture but 2 of the 3 legs are broken off of their joints. So I'm wondering, if I throw the current tripod away and keep positive and downstream thoughts about a new tripod (and not try to manifest it out of need), would the universe bring me a new one?

For me, it's more about how I'm holding my thoughts about what I'm wanting.
If, when you think about your current tripod, you're having thoughts like, "I've got to keep this. It's the only one I have and I don't think I'll find another one anytime soon. And I can't afford another one right now and I don't want to go without and what if I get rid of it and can't find another..." Then it's not the act of holding onto the tripod that's delaying the flow of what you're wanting. It's your beliefs surrounding the subject. Your thoughts are focused on lack, or absence.
Releasing items no longer wanted, or unusable, from your experience with ease suggests that you trust the Universe to bring you exactly what you need, when you need it. You're not focused on lack.
So, line yourself up with your desire, and when it feels good to let go of the current tripod - go for it.

Well, you should probably keep the old one(for spare parts)and just let the 'new'one make its way to you in the best way IT can. Its already Q'd up for you.

Wow, two amazing answers that were exactly what I needed to hear! I got completely lined up after reading those and I feel much better about the whole subject now!
And Tracy, you were pretty much spot on. Thanks so much!

Well I finally did throw away my tripod last week and I've been doing a relatively good job about not thinking about it. Several months back my subscription to one of my favorite magazines, Outdoor Photographer, had run out and so yesterday I went to Border's to buy the latest issue after seeing their newsletter for this month and finally resubscribed. I sat down today to look through the magazine and I swear I have never seen so many mentions of tripods in one magazine! Practically every page I turned there was either an ad for a tripod, or entire articles about tripods and even the same models I had been eyeing were mentioned in other articles! Talk about driftwood!!  ::boat
I couldn't help but think it's right there on my doorstep now!

I'm a BIG believer in tossing out the old to make space for the new.
And that can mean just about anything that I want to have "new."
There's something about the "space" for the new that makes one focus on what is WANTED, and all the qualities we look forward to enjoying about the new thing---to the point that it is fun just to savor the thought.
I don't remember if it was from Abraham or "the secret" or where---but there was an amusing story of the single woman who really, really wanted a life partner.
So she decided to make "space" for the partner in her life. She cleared out half of her closet so the new person's clothing could fit in it. She regorganized her bathroom cabinets and medicine chest to make space for his stuff.
She even cleared out all the stuff she had stashed in the other side of her two-car garage, for the person's car. I imagine that she had fun with all this, because as I heard the story, a lovely person rendezvous-ed with her and she lived happily ever after!
