I refuse to count up my sets, pieces, and $ spent, as I know I'll have a heart
attack if I do ;-)
Best estimates:
Total sets: 200+
Total parts: 200,000+ (5571s are 50K+, 8880s are 7500+, 8448s are 4224, 8480 are
5K+, trains are 17K+)
Total $$: Really don't want to think about it, WELL over $10K, and that's as far
as I'll look at it, because it's probably over $20K.
