Hi everyone! This has just crossed my mind right now. I'm curious to see who is complete in collecting Lego themes? Meaning, who has every set in any of the following categories: 1) Town 2) Castle 3) Pirates 4) Trains 5) Space 6) Technic Those are (...) (24 years ago, 3-Mar-01, to lugnet.general)

(...) Well, I'm Arctic-complete if that counts :] I'm one set short of being Divers-complete. I'm a few sets short of Star Wars complete by choice and will stay that way. I think I'm Adventurers("Egypt")-complete too, I'll have to check. Wow! An (...) (24 years ago, 3-Mar-01, to lugnet.general)

Does being complete mean getting every set a particular theme? If so I probably don't have a single theme that I'm complete in. I do have sets in a lot of subthemes, especially with the larger sets in each sub-theme. I have Flying Ninja's castle, (...) (24 years ago, 3-Mar-01, to lugnet.general)

(...) It's a little tricky to define completeness, but by reasonable qualifications, I'm Wild West complete. By stretched qualifications I'm Pirate complete (but I don't consider myself to be Pirate Complete). What I mean by reasonable completeness (...) (24 years ago, 3-Mar-01, to lugnet.general)

(...) I have all of the Throwbots. Well, all of the building sets, I didn't bother getting <set:8508 the extra disks>. But I do have one of each character. I would also like to own a complete set of RoboRiders and Bionicle, but I can't find (...) (24 years ago, 3-Mar-01, to lugnet.general)

Hello! (...) That's really true. There are so many sub themes out there that really make completing an entire theme undesirable. I probably should have cleared things up. When I think of completing themes I think of the stuff that came out between (...) (24 years ago, 4-Mar-01, to lugnet.general)

(...) I define "complete" as meaning that you have all the sets and all the service packs released for a particular theme, but not necessarily every variant of a set or every promo that used pieces from the theme (thus, you wouldn't have to have (...) (24 years ago, 4-Mar-01, to lugnet.general)

I define "complete" as....you must have the sets in a theme that permit build "all" the sets in a theme (one at a time). I think I am motor complete (without trains motors), technic complete, pirates ,western, mindstorms complete. LEGO complete is (...) (24 years ago, 4-Mar-01, to lugnet.general)

(...) Hi Frank, The original question asked who had every set in a particular theme. I don't consider the comics or the T-shirt a set. I do have two of the 6255 comic, but I don't know which versions (probably US). I don't have all the boxes to each (...) (24 years ago, 5-Mar-01, to lugnet.general)
