Don't think that those of us with rather more substantal collections don't have
to prioritize as well. I have ~202K bricks _from sets_, and probably another
10K from brickbay/link & other trades. I still cannot build everything that I
have seen that I think is neat without resorting to bricklink for bricks. I
have to do so on a regular basis.
(for example, I have been building Settle & Carlisle buildings for my railway-

I think I have a larger collection than James M does- not 100% on it, but IIRC,
he had somewhere like 150K. It isn't just how big it is, but how diverse it
is. And I _don't_ have anything like the biggest collection here, but have
more than enough to fill my basement!
