Money isn't so much the limiting factor, it's time. I have the brick for the 1000+ town figs, 100+ houses and so on right now, but not the time. "More brick doth not a better builder make." Someone said basically that in their own words earlier. Build great with what you have. You'll amass more in the future and be able to expand your horizons. Making due with less brick and limited selection and creating outstanding MOCs.

Now with all that said, I would love to build a mini-fig scale Minas Tirith. But more brick wouldn't be all I'd need. Independent wealth would certainly help. With that I could not work, thus giving me time, and I could buy a large enough house and/or adjoining LEGO studio ("LEGO studio" I like the ring of that). Of course I would travel overseas to get more/different inspiration. With enough $$ left over for the mundane necessities of life; mortgage, cars, food, clothing, college funds for kids, yada, yada, yada.

An interesting topic.

Well, if this offer came with a top notch camera and computer to use, I'd make a fantasy land and host a series of comics from which hopefully lego would grant me permission to sell. they would feature everything from huge battles to small 1 on 1 fights.

But, having every brick in the world wouldn't help you out. Only if you could have the power to think a brick, and it would appear in your hand instantly. Instead of rummaging for every piece.

Evidently to some, http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=142507 money is not an issue.

Perhaps this guy buys/sells LEGO. I can't imagine why anybody would want so many sealed sets to begin with. LEGO is far more fun OUT OF THE BOX.

Hey, if you've got it, might as well spend it (on LEGO, of course)!

Great topic!
I would like to build some tolkien things (especially from the 1st or 2nd age), like Numenor, Gondolin, Angband...Valinor!

Some buildings from the outstanding movie "The perfume"(the book is better though) would be fun to build,too.

If time and money were no object, I would be to busy ruling the world and places beyond to build with Lego.

All of Middle Earth, and a Gymnasium to put it in. Oh ya and like 200,000 orcs and maybe 10,000 Gondorian Soldiers.

Hmm.... putting together all those figs would be kinda dull in the long run I think...

Would you build these to minifig scale, or 1:1 scale?

I would like to see these as minifig scale.

Yeah,minifig scale!
