| | | 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, -- Felipe G. Coury (...) (24 years ago, 18-Jan-01, to lugnet.general)

| | | | | (...) 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)

The number was much smaller than I expected. Thankfully, I (...) (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 (...)

And I've run across some really impressive Microfig spaceships running around that don't take but a dozen parts, so you don't have to have lots of parts to build (...)

| | | | | (...) 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. (...)

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)
