Heck, my measly collection is larger (160K pieces, including most
of the 9V train stuff...).  I was disapointed where I read 57K pieces,
and claiming  to be the largest collection.  I know people who have
that much in boxed lego!

I have 29000 pieces just in one set (5542), or did, till I started using it
for raw material for Milton Train Works. (but maybe I am not a consumer any
more... more of a nutcase, I guess, when it comes to quantity). I think I
have his size beat just using my top 3 or 4 sets (that would be black
thunder, Sith infiltrator, blue bucket, 5561, listed in set quantity order,
followed closely by 30+ of each of the soccer buses). That sounds like a
brag... but it's more "evidence of depravity" than brag.

Yeah, I've got his entire collection beat in just blue tubs alone (and used to
have it beat in 5571s), and I don't own ANYWHERE near as many as several other
people.  I have 60+ tubs, but not sure
how many.

Of course, I'm getting ready to sort out all of the tubs and sell many of the
bricks, since I've decided not to build train modules.
