Wow, that’s a surprise. I guess when I looked at the color table on Peeron I mainly was struck by the fact that up until a few years ago the 2x4 brick was only in a small number of colors. This does seem to have changed in the past couple of years.

  
Usually those colors come in odd sets (Fabuland, Belville, Paradisa, Basic tubs), so if you don’t have a lot of those, it might explain some things.

Too true. Plus, those shades that I have a ton of are ones that I made an effort to get (gray, dark gray, black, tan, green) for castle projects.

   About how many sets/pieces are in your collection?

Oh, gosh, I have no idea. I’d say my collection is the size that most non-AFOLs (my fiancee, for instance) would say is unreasonably large but most AFOLs would say is fairly limiting. My Lugnet database says I have 109 sets, for 8686 pieces, but that is way out of date. My collection is probably double the size it was when I took this picture.

(...) You have less than 20,000 pieces in your collection? Wow - it sure doesn't look like that based on your creations... I have over 160,000 pieces (probably average for an AFOL) and none of the stuff I've built comes even close to the "grandeur" (...) (20 years ago, 25-May-05, to lugnet.color, FTX)
