OK OK OK, you twisted my arm.....
That would be about 2900 sets and approximately 500,000 pieces. Windows and doors
- about 6000, of which 4000 are from the classic era (from before 1978).
I never took a complete inventory, but I did do some particular piece inventories.
Here's a sneak preview of what I have (chosen especially for you Kevin - I know you
like rare slopes). Rob Farver - "Mr. Sloped Bricks" please don't read beyond this
point!:
Quarter circle (macaroni) bricks - Red - 80, Yellow - 150, Black - 200, White -
150, Blue - 50, Grey - 20, Clear - 50.
Low slope outside corners (3x3) - Red - 24, Yellow - 18, Black - 16.
Regular slope outside corners (2x2) - Red - 300, Yellow - 20, Blue - 120, Black -
80, White - 140, Grey - 4, Tan - 60.
Steep slope outside corners (2x2x3) - Red - 24, Yellow - 42, Black - 4, White - 8.
Inverse regular slope outside corners (2x2). - Red - 60, Black - 100, White - 120,
Grey - 12.
Large Classic Windows (1x6x3) - Red - 60, White - 50, Yellow - 6.
Small Classic Windows (1x1x1) - Red - 320, White - 290, Yellow - 4.
Medium Classic Windows (1x2x2) - Red - 350, White - 280, Yellow - 250, Blue - 50,
Black - 2.
And what would be my rarest piece? Probably a 1x1x2 (tall & thin) classic window
in black. I only have one of these, purchased from a German LEGO dealer train
parts pack box of miscellaneous items (along with the two 1x2x2 black windows).
