(...) Why do you doubt it? Too large? Too small? Just curious, as it didn't seem incredible (either way) to me. Kerry (22 years ago, 28-Jun-02, to lugnet.loc.au, lugnet.mediawatch)

(...) That sounds a bit low for someone who has collected for many years? There's a least one Aussie bricklinker with more parts than that just in their bricklink shop. Kerry (22 years ago, 28-Jun-02, to lugnet.loc.au, lugnet.mediawatch)

(...) I saw this Lego collection in 1997 and looked like there was a lot more than 90,000 pieces. There is a big 12v and 9v train layout in the middle of the shed with shelfs along the walls with sets from every theme. (22 years ago, 28-Jun-02, to lugnet.loc.au, lugnet.mediawatch)

Insert video tape, fast fwd, fast fwd, fast fwd.... Corin Grant : 'there's like 90,000 pieces in there.' I watched the whole thing again and no mention of value and given the way Corin said 90,000, I think it was a guess or something she was told (...)

(...) I can't speak for Steak-n-Kidney but Lego was readily obtainable in Brisbane in the 1960s, and back in the those days most sets were just "bulk parts"; very few sets had a model with instructions as I recall.
