Yeah, I've thought about this. Downsides that come immediately to mind:
- what happens if someone leaves the group? do they get a portion?
- what happens if i don't contribute? am i a second-class citizen? can
I still play?
- people are just plain used to having personal property.
- how do we decide what to buy? I'd like to have ten more RCXes. Although
I think your models are awesome, I'm not heavily into Star Wars...
- how much money would we need to have anything useful? I don't think any
of us are rich. Karen and I have only a certain fraction of our money
that we allow ourselves to spend on lego, and that's not a number that's
likely to be increased anytime soon. i don't think any of us want to
decrease the amount we put into our personal collections...
And of course this one:

The Mindfest joke about "oh yeah, I'll 'store' that at my house for you"
seems like it might crop up again. :)
But, i do think it _could_ work. I'd be interested in doing something like
trains this way.
