I stated my reasons - I live in a 2BR apt, and I'm looking at buying a house (this was a longtime wish, but just (...) (23 years ago, 15-Apr-02, to lugnet.people, lugnet.general)

(...) Wow, that's worse than my place was. At least in my place, three people could sit around the dining room table. I'm really hoping that my 500k piece collection will fit into my 2 bedroom apartment with room to spare. I'm planning on only (...) (23 years ago, 16-Apr-02, to lugnet.people, lugnet.general)

Yikes! My lego stuff is probably very much like your own, mass-wise. I don't really want to think about it any more than that though...
