Well, I have sometimes a problem with all the points. But I voted for "dust", because I think that as my worst foe.
My MOC-'s do have some dimensions ans stands on the same place for rather a long time, and are not easy to move. It seems that all the surrounding dust particles are especially attracted to my castle. There are even -real- cobwebs in the great hall, but I can,t clean it without demolishing the whole roof.

Okay, a castle ougt to be dusty, but my wife thinks otherwise! And then, I take the vacuum cleaner, a step-ladder and a brush, and start cleaning again...... :roll:

I definitely despise dust! The other things are problems as well. Mainly a lack of space to build recently.

Hello!


OK, I separated "money" and "parts" because even if I had the money to buy the parts I need I would have to wait for these parts to arrive until I could resume building.

And dust.... This is the place where a MOC stood (and, after I roughly cleaned it and the area around its place, now stands again):

Imagine what the MOC itself looked like....

What else would I vote? All of the above of course.

I don't have money, I don't ahve bricks, I don't have minifigs, and I don't have room.

Oh and Anthony If you're still considering throwing all those terrible bricks out split them between Nathan and I. I like him will pay shipping :D .

There is no such thing as "lack of parts". There is only lack of money (with more money, you can buy more parts). If there is dust, then that is really "lack of time" (or possibly laziness). Lack of space means you need a larger house, which again goes back to "lack of money". The only resolution is being independently wealthy, spending all your waking hours on LEGO, and hiring people to dust and sort for you. :D

Ah...I see.

The early castle lover gets the bricks.

So unfair. But...maybe I PMed Anthony and he said he doesn't like you so he would give ME all the bricks. Muhahahahahaha :twisted: .

Actually it is an unaltered KK1 Queen face. It just came out badly after I edited the foto...

I wrote all of the above though if you really think of it - if I had much more money, I could then afford buying bricks, a bigger place to contain it all, and of course some people who can dust the LEGO for me, so like a lot of other problems in life it comes down to money

P.S Jojo I adore your BF maid, maybe I'll hire her :lol:

Time baby, time. No question. I get precious little time as it is. Dust is a big problem in climates where your house is closed up for 6 months and cold/dampness. Add 2 big dogs, 2 ferrets. I need like, a hepa filter or something.

Although I voted for "all of the above", I get the biggest headache from... dust!

In theory, you can have enough parts and space (just don't build so big), enough money (just watch your spending). But there will always be dust - unless you enjoy dusting on a daily basis!
