Help!

My name is Kevin and I am a Legoholic.

I don't know what has come over me. I'm spending way too much on Lego! In
the last 2 months, I have spent over 4000$ on the little plastic bricks. I
have accumulated more parts than I can ever use. And forget about ever
sorting them even if I could live to be 150!

Boxes are piled in the basement, the bedroom and the living room. Sets are
displayed on shelves, the kitchen table, in the cupboards and in drawers!
Furniture is completely buried. We lost the dog under some boxes for a few
hours the other day.

Those darned holiday sales are to blame! This one is always better than the
first one. One store trying to beat the other store. 20, 30, 50% off!! When
will it all end??! Heeeeeeeeeeeeelllllppppppppp!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Welcome to the club Kevin.

I've accumulated an almost complete Lego Technic/Mindstorms/Expert
Builder/Throwbots/Slizzer collection in a year. On the 200 sets I bought this
year, about 10 are not MISB. Some sets date for 1977! You can imagine the costs
- well over $10,000 including the complete Star Wars collection, some trains
and bucket bricks (and the $CDN is worth rat nothing). It seems to me that as I
complete or near to complete a theme I want to buy another one. I'm now
considering completing Trains 9v and/or Pirates. If you can do it, the better
to you.
