Wow, that must be a zillion semi-trucks full!
OK, if each set is about 50mm x 100mm x 100mm (roughly the size of a SHELL
promotional set?) then 2,000 fit in a cubic metre, which would mean a total
of 2,500 m^3 or a cube 13.57 m (44.5 ft) on a side.
Hmm, that's enough to cover an entire football field (American) well more
than knee-deep. (Assuming 100ft x 300ft = 2,788 m^2).
