So, for starters, I checked the weight of my entire collection according to
Peeron:
Total Weight: 446376.280000005 grams
Total Pieces: 367662
Total with weight: 10426
Total without weight: 2541
Total pieces with weight: 339630
Total pieces without weight: 28032
So, of the 12967 different types of elements I own, BrickLink had data for
roughly 10426 of them. Some are inaccurate, like combination parts (minifig
legs, etc), but it should be roughly close.
Of my total 367662 pieces total, it found weights for about 92% of them
(339630). The total weight it found was about 984.091245 pounds, which boils
down to about 345.12 pieces per pound, or 760.86 per kilogram.
So, pending further investigation, it looks like 350/pound should be a good
estimate!
