   It turns out that my original guesstimate was off by quite a bit so here are the numbers so far. Total Lego pieces 215,000 Total sets 1800 (includes doubles, triples and up to 87 copies of one set!!) Total unique sets 848

My numbers are questionable (kept in a text file which I update when I get new stuff, but I think it could easily be 10 - 20% out). It shows 144,000 Lego pieces from 587 sets. I also have 69,000 MegaBloks pieces including 63 sets, and 1050 Best-Lock pieces from 3 sets. My total estimate, by coincidence, is the same 215,000, but doesn’t count since its not all Lego.

I believe there are at least 2 or 3 people in the Edmonton area that have considerably more Lego than I do. One likely has 3 or 4 times as much.

Hmm. Curiosity had me go through and update my set list, and poke at my collection.

186,000 over 1000 sets, roughly, according to what I’ve put into the guide, which is a conservative low estimate. Adding in things from drafts, auctions, Bricklink, et al over the years, I would put my actual conservative estimate at somewhere around 250,000 parts. I’m pretty sure there’s still locals with more.
