Hi,
I am very curious about the pace that my collection grows then I decided to
do a quick survey in order to compare.
Can you guys tell us approximatedly how many pieces you have and how long
have you been collecting them?
TIA,

| (...) Hi Felipe, My story is very similar to yours. I've been collecting for one year, which was preceeded by a 15 year dark age. In the span of one year, I have collected 10,000 - 12,000 pieces from around 40 sets. Unfortunately, I don't have any (...) (24 years ago, 18-Jan-01, to lugnet.general)

| (...) Well for me it goes something like this... ~5-15 7,500 - 10,000 pieces 16-28 Dark Ages 29-31 125,000 - 150,000 pieces Most of the 29-31 was collected in late 1999 to mid 2000. The only real big addition in terms of parts since mid 2000 was 40 (...) (24 years ago, 18-Jan-01, to lugnet.general)

| (...) Since November 1999 when I left my dark ages (Wednesday of Thanksgiving week to be exact) , my collection has grown by a little more than 36,000 pieces. My Pre-Dark-ages collection was very small, somewhere in the neighborhood of 1000 pieces. (...) (24 years ago, 19-Jan-01, to lugnet.general)

Hi Felipe, My rate of expansion goes something like this: From ages 2 to 15: about 15 000 pieces From ages 15 to 18: Dark Ages From ages 18 to 24: about 140 000 pieces Of course, I don't believe that you will get 2 people who answer the same (...)

| (...) My collection is somewhere between 250,000 and 500,000 (probably closer to 250,000), collected since February 1999 (or so - too lazy to dig out when I actually started). In theory the rate of growth has slowed, but then I'm still waiting on a (...) (24 years ago, 19-Jan-01, to lugnet.general)

| (...) I'm somewhere around 150,000 - 200,000 pieces. I'm really not sure. I know I have a lot more than can be accounted for by the sets listed in my collection, because I don't track trades, auction/sale purchases, or parts I keep from sets I sell. (...)

| (...) Hmm... Well, I've been collecting since I was 7 years old. I'm 22 now. I just counted last night, and I found that I have 223 individual sets. This doesn't count repeated buyings (which I do rarely, but may account for about 10 more sets) or (...) (24 years ago, 19-Jan-01, to lugnet.general)

Got it the day before Christmas with some gift certificates I got early. Well since Dec 24 my wife and I (...) (24 years ago, 19-Jan-01, to lugnet.general)

| Here's my take on this: I was 6 years when I got my first LEGO...... 1960 - 500 pieces. (one year before LEGO in USA, but relative in Germany sent it) 1965 - 3000 pieces 1968 - 5000 pieces 1969-79 (Dark Ages, but kept all my old LEGO) 1979 - 15,000 (...)
