Exactly .. why do I need these pieces at home, where I have no room to display them anyway ... when they can be seen and enjoyed by me at a place I already frequent ... and which is, by fortuitous happenstance, the inspiration for the pieces themselves?

Well, I don't see them as often as you do, but I can't see spending my money on these either. I don't have a place for something like this, and I certainly don't want to take care of it. Mine would sit in a box so nothing bad would happen to it, and what good would that be?

I could still go for the idea of getting a group of 20 together, each buying a piece in turn ... maybe we'd have to each get 3 or 4 before it's over. Getting together once a year, building Disneyland in miniature, having a party ... then going home with different pieces than those we arrived with ... till next time!

The problem with that is that those of us who DO buy them all have (pretty much) the same pieces.

We've got the Castle, the Train Station and the Hub.

I still haven't bought any and I still want them all.

When's the churro cart coming out?

I have the castle and the hub. I don't think I'm going to get any more, though.

I didn't know the churro cart was gay?!?

I want to know why someone thought a pin cart took priority over a churro cart.

OK, fess up. Who's bought the pin cart?

We've got the collection, including the character packs, Main Street vehicles and other miscellaneous pieces, including the various carts. We've got all the vehicles and characters out but only a few of the pieces out. Mansion was so cool that I had to make room so it could be out. Not sure if we'll have room for Pirates to be out at this time. Later this year, they're releasing the Main Street platform, on which you can put all the Main Street pieces. We're planning to buy a plexiglass box to put on top so we can use it as a coffee table and still see all the Main Street pieces inside, and that will free up some space in the cabinet.

We have Cinderella Castle from the WDW collection because a friend bought it for us, but we're not planning on getting anything else from the WDW collection.

Said friend is also collecting the entire DL collection. He has another friend who's only collecting the Main Street collection, with maybe a couple other attractions.
