5561 rocks. I have either 20 or 40 (depending on whether one counts
chickens that haven't been hatched (er, delivered) yet or not) that
currently haven't been parted out, although 2 gave up their doors for my
/Nik's Shinkasen model...

Judging from recent events, I wouldn't count unhatched chickens.  I used to
include stuff on order in my collection count, but now I keep 3 separate
tallies for collection totals.  Part 1 is stuff I have removed from their
boxes (The Collection), Part 2 is sets not yet opened (The Vault) and Part 3
is Stuff on Order.  Then I just tally those 3 together to figure my entire
(rough estimate) Lego holdings.

Although I got 23 of the 5561s from the KB store for a higher price, I DID
get them, which is more than I can say for anything from WBStore.

PS:  Larry, great idea on using those exhaust elbows.  I never would have
