The stockpiling of frogs has begun.

I don't run a BrickBay (oops! don't sue!), I mean BrickLink shop, nor do I
tear apart sets to sell on eBay. And in fact, getting the frogs from
Bricklink was one of the only times I've ever used that site to aquire parts
(actually my girlfriend got me the frogs as an xmas present). My collection
may seem larger than it really is--I leave little to nothing standing after
it has been photographed for The Brick Testament. I am constantly tearing
the sets down to build new ones. Right now, only The Garden of Eden and the
Tower of Babel are still intact (and the Garden gets pillaged every time I
need flowers and trees for other sets). But that said, and while I'm sure
mine is not nearly the largest collection among the members of LUGnet, it's
still pretty big, I admit. Chalk it up to the booming computer industry a
couple years back. It allowed my girlfriend and I to amass the LEGO
collection we'd always wanted. And now that nobody has jobs anymore,
there's plenty of time to play with LEGO. @8^)
Hope that answers your question.
