Well, to answer my own question, I looked at ebay auctions where folks
were selling lego "by the pound" and adding the pieces. One pound is
somewhere between 200 to 300 pieces (with an obvious variation between one by
one rounds and small baseplates)
With this in mind, I need at least a hundred pounds of lego to do a kid's
buildathon. (assuming there is 50 kids in active play at a time) I'm doing
this in center that includes 6 video game systems, 2 pool tables, pinball
machines, etc. So some of the kids that will hang out, won't be there for
lego and my average is about eighty kids.
