Well I think there is a reason why the GMLTC is the only group doing a layout
like this. They are the only ones with 2.1 million bricks to work with.
Personally I don't think we would come remotely close to that many if you took
all of our collections together and multiplied it by 3 or 4.
Ideally I would love to do this but it really isn't realistic for our club. We
just don't have the resources unless someone is hiding a stash of LEGO that I
don't know about.
I think that the PNLTC, WAMALUG/LTC, NGLTC, GFLTC, etc. have done a great job
with the tables. Plus it is a differance in cost between $150-$200 and several
thousand dollars.
But hey if someone wants to donate 2.1 million bricks to our group I'm game
;-).
