To All, (...) Well, I do know Gary Istok (A really cool guy, BTW! : ) ) is perhaps still second, I think he has over 500,000 parts. There is someone else, Conan, I think his name is, he is not online or anything, but I heard he has over 2,000,000 (...) (24 years ago, 6-Jan-01, to lugnet.general)

(...) I would agree to those two, but I also think that Frank Filz would be way up high on that list. Hmmm... And, I think it's COnan and his uncle, or is it Conan and his nephew. Not sure. I haven't met him, but wouldn't object to... -Shiri (24 years ago, 6-Jan-01, to lugnet.general)

(...) Yup, several other people also (actually, there are definitely folks who buy more than I do, I just never get around to selling much of mine). Last I checked, my spreadsheet of cataloged sets came in at over 250k pieces. I'd estimate that I'm (...) (24 years ago, 6-Jan-01, to lugnet.general)

(...) I think you mean Mike Poindexter. Mike Stanley sells a lot of what he buys, I believe. My most recent estimate places my collection at 750K but I have essentially stopped buying large quantities. I have (just about??) all the LEGO I need at (...) (24 years ago, 6-Jan-01, to lugnet.general)

Even if I keep up my rate, it would be 7-8 years, and presumably I won't keep up the rate (in theory I've dropped my rate quite a bit). (...) Yea, I'm starting to run into (...)

In other areas, for miles all you can see are RV and mobile home parks. And then comes the miles of flat (...) (24 years ago, 9-Jan-01, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)
