I agree! Sometimes when I'm building I don't know where to start! And my
collection is honestly puny compared to so many of the people here on LUGNET.
(I use this fact to keep the NLSO appeased, or at least mollified.) Some of
the most fun I have is when I take my bin of unsorted bricks and just start
building with it. (That's how the wavechopper came about - pics on my site,
URL below)
I think that this was the theory behind the Construction Site's 'single color
building experiment' as well. I'm not sure if they still have the pics up on
their site or not...
On the other hand, big collections are good sometimes when you know that
there's the perfect part for what you want to do, if you can only find it
in the mess that is your LEGO room.
