| I was straightening my apt this weekend, and threw the large amounts of multiple sets into one corner. I took pictures just for the shock value ;-) (URL) 21 8480s, 20 5571s, 13 4561s, 20 4537s, 8 4539s, 7 4532s, and 4 4555s. I didn't have room to (...) (25 years ago, 7-Feb-00, to lugnet.general)

| Oh, that's not my collection - someday I'll take pics of my collection ;-) That's just my recent (if you can call Jan-Mar 99 recent for the 5571s) parts purchases. I've got to sort/organize my collection before I take pics, and try to cram it all in (...) (25 years ago, 7-Feb-00, to lugnet.general)

| Tom, It's not the number of sets that shock me, it's the buying power! I wish I had that kind of money to spend! BTW, are you gonna part out any more of those Giant Trucks, 'cause I'd love to have some more of those silver cylinders and elbows from (...) (25 years ago, 7-Feb-00, to lugnet.general)

| BTW, it's those lovely US-deep-discount sales that make buying them possible. What you see is HALF of the 5571s I had - I traded some away, gave one as a Xmas gift, built a few, split 5 for parts....and sold some others on Ebay to pay off the entire (...)

| Again, the only reason I can afford these is the DEEP discount sales. Every single set in those pics that I am keeping have already been paid off through selling other copies on Ebay. I just paid off all 21 8480s by selling 10 on Ebay, they'll be (...) (25 years ago, 8-Feb-00, to lugnet.general)
