(...) OK Dave, you have me scared now. Accoring to Peeron, I have 335367 parts from sets. Add several hundred pounds of Pick-A-Brick and I seem to be in the half-ton ballpark as well. That number just sounds huge. Or it means I am half way there. (...) (18 years ago, 14-Aug-06, to lugnet.general)

(...) BrickLink also has info (in many cases) for the weight of: the complete set, the original box, and the instructions, from which you could calculate the weight of just the parts (and polybags). Newer sets are more likely to have more complete (...) (18 years ago, 12-Aug-06, to lugnet.general)

(...) Thanks DaveE, After I get the weight of one of my dollar store microwave containers (my preferred means of storage) from the delicate mail shipping scale here at work, I am going to try this out. Much Appreciated, Karl (18 years ago, 11-Aug-06, to lugnet.general)

(...) The estimations I've heard and used (to reasonable accuracy) are 400/pound and 500/pound. So I generally go with 450/pound and it seems to work out ok. I've also heard the estimation 1000/kg, which works out to roughly 454/pound, which is (...) (18 years ago, 10-Aug-06, to lugnet.general)
