   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 My Lugnet database says I have 109 sets, for 8686 pieces, but that is way out of date.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” of your creations. Maybe you’re just really good at maximizing your pieces whereas I have a lot of wastage. :)

I’d like to echo Bryan on this. All the creations you do with only 20K or so, is inspiring. I’ve told people at train shows that it’s possible to build great things will small collections, but I’ve not tried it myself. Sitting at around 300K +/- 10K, I still find myself lacking some pieces and ordering more parts.
