I have Lego all over my house. I live in Bogotá, so my place is very
different to all you AFOL. I think I am the only Lego fan in Colombia. I
have the big part of my collection in my daughter room (3 years old) in a
selfmade bookcase of real bricks and wood. I have sorted in drawers and
rubermaid boxes.(of course near the roof). The boxes of the sets are in the
garage in the TV, Monitor boxes.
I have a very speciall place for the catalogs, instructions, ephimera in a
bookcase in my room, near my bed in special portfolios. (like 25 of them).
I am wondering now how many pieces I have, because I never count it. I think
i have like 50.000-100.000. But still a good question.
I am a book fan, so the books are in competition for space (I have like
4.500 books). Of course I have a very....very good collection of lego books
and related.
My house is like 230 m2, and I am constructing now a ver large room to my
books the lego, computer etc. It will be like 36m2 with a high roof to build
a big bookcase.(this bookcase is a very future plan)
I have a bookcase with glass in my study and I put some finish models in it,
but the dust enter and I have to send it to a big plastic box, until I found
a system to protect the models. I rotate the models I exhibit.
To my other child my legos are collecting legos so he can use it only with
my supervision, Of course he have his own legos (he is six years old)

| Where on Earth do you keep your Lego collections? What about you folks who take trading seriously - where do you put it all? Do you have a dedicated room, the loft, the garage, or just stick it in any nook and cranny you can find? Do have your sets (...) (24 years ago, 2-Nov-00, to lugnet.loc.uk, lugnet.general)
