I just wanted to take a few minutes and do some raving about how much I like the new Lego NBA Basketball sets. Initially, I had very little interest in the announcement of this new theme since I’m completely apathetic about the world of professional (...)

Be sure to check out this article as well. (URL) it is not an "all-purpose" sorting solution, the containers presented are pretty cool. Steven (23 years ago, 9-Jan-03, to lugnet.general)

(...) If you were to come to my home (in New York state) you would find we have dozens of empty ice cream containers with lids. The sizes are 4 quart and 6 quart, are round, and will nest inside each other. But you will NOT find Lego stored in any (...) (23 years ago, 9-Jan-03, to lugnet.general)

(...) My instant guess after seeing the picture was 100k, but the 125-150k that others are estimating sounds a little better. (...) Based on what you've said about your collection, I'm sure you're at 500k, probably more. My verified count (based on (...) (23 years ago, 9-Jan-03, to lugnet.general)

(...) Thanks for that idea! Never thought of skipping the lids to avoid storing air. /Tore Where I live, we have to pay SEK 10 (~US$1.10) for three candy boxes :( but they're worth it! :) (23 years ago, 9-Jan-03, to lugnet.general)

(...) Note - the blue Creator tubs can be compacted up to 5:1 if bricks are stacked, 4:1 with little to no stacking. But that's because 300 of the 1K bricks are 1x1s. (23 years ago, 9-Jan-03, to lugnet.general)

Dave, If your collection is 500K, then I'd better not even THINK about how large mine is ;-) Take your Iris cart collection, and multiply it by 3. That's all my new bricks. If I can get all the rest of the bricks into Iris carts, add at least what (...) (23 years ago, 9-Jan-03, to lugnet.general)

(...) I'd second that guess. I have about 193K _that is identifiable_ as being in my collection, and it probably takes 2x your volume at least for storage. I'd guess I have more like 250K pieces, but that is a guess, whereas the 193K is a minimum (...) (23 years ago, 9-Jan-03, to lugnet.general)

(...) I have a pretty accurate count of my bricks, and I weigh in at 203,000 bricks. At a rough guess, I'd say my collection is a bit more than what you've got in the picture volume-wise. I'd guess about 150,000 is shown in the picture-- and if (...) (23 years ago, 9-Jan-03, to lugnet.general)

(...) I would also guess between 100,00 and 150,000 pieces based on the volume of your collection compared to mine. I have a fairly accurate count using the Lugnet DB. Do you know how many sets you have? You might be able to use that to guess along (...) (23 years ago, 9-Jan-03, to lugnet.general)
