I have in excess of 1700 sets totaling over 250,000 pieces.
All of my lego are in storage at the moment as I will be moving to Saratoga
New York some time around April.
The new House (currently under construction) will have a 1300 + square foot
basement for my Lego addiction.
I can't wait to get moved and get the Lego out again.
