If they come to me and tell me that I can't call my Lego train layout that has about a half-million of their bricks in it and costs tens of thousands of dollars a Lego-modular layout, I will retort that they would prefer it to a Megablock-modular (...)

I don't know who buys the most LEGO, or who has the most LEGO - but I think we can safely say that there are some pretty huge collections being represented on LUGNET and especially here in .TRAINS!
