  Hmm.  I am going to need to go through this exercise again soon.  Its
been awhile since I did.  I think I had between 50 and 60K last time I did
it.  I'd guess around 80K now.

  I think I have three really big rubbermaid containers.  One of the
coffin-sized ones.  And two of the a-bit-bigger-than-a-paper-box ones.  But
there are some smaller containers taking up volume within those.
Basically, my collection fills the area under our old kitchen table.

  Mostly Castle (Mostly from the Majisto/Dragon/Royal Knights era and the
period just prior.) and Technic (Almost all of the 'build' type.  Tech-play
and its derivatives have never done anything for me).  A few Star Wars,
several pirate ships, a couple of little space sets (Explorien, I think).
That's all I can think of.  What's everybody else got?

    Later,
