Well here is my count. I have kept a fairly detailed spreadsheet since I came
out of my dark ages about 4 years ago. It has everything except bricklink/ebay
loose parts purchases/trades, so it is fairly accurate:
Total LEGO pieces: 162860
Total sets: 1202
Total unique sets: 528
That doesn't put me anywhere near the top, but it is a decent size collection.
