Hello,

Today, with nothing better to do, I copied all my set purchases from a • chart
of graph paper into Microsoft Pocket Excell on my HP 32O LX (WindowsCE). I
did a quick column sum for parts number and cost and came up with the
following:

Total Sets: 131
Total Parts: 10 587
Total Cost: $3 471.61 (CDN)

Cool. I have been working on this lately. Hope to finish today.

I've been working on this, but I buy sets faster than I can get them into my
system. What is currently entered into my system (which may be less than
half of my collection, and doesn't include parts lots bought off eBay, nor
many of the sets bought off eBay which didn't come with boxes):

   Total Sets:     623
   Total Parts:    109973
   Total Minifigs: 1274

It especially doesn't include the tons of minifig lots I've bought, I've
probably bought 500-1000 minifigs off eBay. I don't have price data entered,
so don't know how much I've spent.

This is all since February of 1999 (but I am slowing down)....

That's an impressive collection for a child's collection, though to put that
in perspective, I bought part of a collection from a kid who was selling
out. I'd estimate his collection was about that size (perhaps a little
larger), I bought about 1/3 of it (unfortunately, less than half of that was
separated into sets, I have 3 copier paper boxes just about full of LEGO
bricks, plus several sets built or at least separated out).
