 | | Need help to guesstimate the size of my collection! —David Simmons

| | | Hey all, If the stars are in their proper alignment, I may be profiled on the show "Ultimate Collectors" for Home & Garden Television! I have a phone interview possibly tomorrow, after which my interviewer will pitch her story to the company. If her (...) (21 years ago, 9-Jan-03, to lugnet.general)

One metric I would ask for is: how many full blue tubs worth of LEGO do you think you (...) (21 years ago, 9-Jan-03, to lugnet.general)

| | | | | | (...) Note - the blue Creator tubs can be compacted up to 5:1 if bricks are stacked, 4:1 with little to no stacking. But that's because 300 of the 1K bricks are 1x1s. (21 years ago, 9-Jan-03, to lugnet.general)

| | | | | | | (...) I would also guess between 100,00 and 150,000 pieces based on the volume of your collection compared to mine. I have a fairly accurate count using the Lugnet DB. Do you know how many sets you have? You might be able to use that to guess along (...) (21 years ago, 9-Jan-03, to lugnet.general)

| | | | | | (...) I'd second that guess. I have about 193K _that is identifiable_ as being in my collection, and it probably takes 2x your volume at least for storage. I'd guess I have more like 250K pieces, but that is a guess, whereas the 193K is a minimum (...) (21 years ago, 9-Jan-03, to lugnet.general)

| | | | | (...) I have a pretty accurate count of my bricks, and I weigh in at 203,000 bricks. At a rough guess, I'd say my collection is a bit more than what you've got in the picture volume-wise. I'd guess about 150,000 is shown in the picture-- and if (...) (21 years ago, 9-Jan-03, to lugnet.general)

| | | | Dave, If your collection is 500K, then I'd better not even THINK about how large mine is ;-) Take your Iris cart collection, and multiply it by 3. That's all my new bricks. If I can get all the rest of the bricks into Iris carts, add at least what (...) (21 years ago, 9-Jan-03, to lugnet.general)

| | | | (...) My instant guess after seeing the picture was 100k, but the 125-150k that others are estimating sounds a little better. (...) Based on what you've said about your collection, I'm sure you're at 500k, probably more. My verified count (based on (...) (21 years ago, 9-Jan-03, to lugnet.general)
