I think you'll find that the only truly good collection of Lego is the one
that has all of it. :)
Actually, the real answer is whatever makes you happy. I've noticed
primarily two distinct collecting styles- collecting for parts and
collecting for sets. And most definitely, there are all sorts of overlaps
and degrees of extremity.
If you're a part collector rather than a set collector, you'll want to have
a nice wide variety of parts for whatever it is that you like building.
You've got a good collection if you can build exactly what you want without
having to go buy new stuff for every project you have (of course we all WANT
to build bigger things but just for generality's sake).
Otherwise, if you're a set collector, you'll want the sets that you love the
most. And ofttimes, lots OF them :) If you've got all the sets you love,
you've got a good collection :)
As for MY top 10, I'd say:
#1 6067 Guarded Inn
#2 6954 Renegade
#3 6080 King's Castle
#4 6980 Galaxy Commander
#5 8880 Supercar
#6 6086 Black Knight's Castle
#7 8480 FOS Light/Space Shuttle
#8 5988 Pharoah's Forbidden Ruins
#9 7130 Snowspeeder (I don't care if it's small. It's darn cool.)
#10 7191 UCS X-Wing
I think the top 11 list of all-time sought after, desired, and appreciated
sets would be something like: (I couldn't bear to take any one of these off)
375 Yellow Castle
497 Galaxy Explorer
4558 Metroliner
5571 Giant Truck
6067 Guarded Inn
6285 Black Seas Barracuda
6390 Main Street
8480 FOS Light/Space Shuttle
8880 Supercar
7191 UCS X-Wing
9719 Robotics Invention System 1.0
If you've got all those, you probably have a good collection :) (I only have
four of those, and I think I've got a pretty good collection)

| (...) Yup, I have to agree - I like town mostly, I play with them with my son, and the SW sets and other bigger sets are just too much for him right now. The town sets do him good - he loves cars and planes. So collect what you like. I think if you (...) (24 years ago, 3-Jan-01, to lugnet.general)
