How many sets do you own?

[Jockos]

I read somewhere that a man owns over 1000 sets. I'm quite excited about your's (just in case, if you count)!

[Dosenbrot]

I did count most of my sets on brickset and I have around 780 sets.

[Iria]

According to Brickset, I have 51 but I think this is an inflated number since I don't believe that individual base plates or maybe even CMF should each count as a set. So a more realistic number for me is 30. I'm still working on it!

If you guys have Brickset, it would be interesting to hear your brick count as well. I have ~8501 pieces.

According to Brickset I have 43 sets and 57 minifigures (including minidolls). Not counting polybags, minifigures, bag charms and play mats, I have some 35 sets, including 5 doubles, and I also have 13 sets I want.

I have 19190 bricks.

My Peeron inventory says I have 1033 sets, 575 of which are unique (i.e., the other 458 are duplicates). That does include things like individual Minifigures minifigures ("CMFs"), but it also does not include a slew of other, larger sets I've gotten in recent years; I haven't updated it in a while (since Peeron itself seems not to be updated as often as one might like). I'd guess I have perhaps 1500 or 1600 sets, though that does include things like "CMFs", polybags, and other small stuff. But I also have a few larger sets I've gotten recently like the Ewok Village that I haven't bothered to add to my Peeron set list.

Peeron also says my total part count is 139,490; based on what I've gotten but not added to that list, I'd guess I have somewhere between 150,000 and 175,000 pieces.

Edit: just removed a single copy of one small set from my Peeron list, so those numbers should be a wee bit smaller now. OTOH, they should be much larger anyway with all the stuff I've gotten the last few years that in some cases isn't even listed there yet.

According to Brickset, I own 227 sets divided as such:

75 Bionicle Sets

31 Star Wars Sets

15 Collectible Mini-figures

8 Advanced Models

8 City

8 Harry Potter

7 Galidor (yes, I admit it; I still own my Galidor figs...)

7 Town

6 Marvel Superheroes

5 Power Functions Units

3 The Lone Ranger

3 Discovery

2 Technic

2 Exo-Force

2 Racers

2 Creator

1 Indiana Jones

1 DC Superheroes

1 Seasonal

1 Space

1 Adventurers

1 Lord of The Rings

1 Pirates

1 The Lego Movie

1 Monster Fighters

1 Rock Raiders

1 Spider Man (Toby Mc. version)

Money wise, the Advanced Models and Creator Expert have been getting the most purchases in recent years (and on Brickset hold 14205 Lego pieces of my collection), but I have a huge stock of Bionicle sets thanks to how cheap they were when I was a kid (plus a few of the new reboot figures). Star Wars still holds out pretty big, with a lot of the big 100 dollar sets in my collection. I don't know if those 15 collectible mini-figures or the Power Functions (which I bought to power the Horizon Express) should really count towards the total, but hey why not? My collection is rather varied (I think), compared to say the people who focus all their money into one theme. The year I spent the most money in Lego was 2012. My most complete collection is the Advanced Models Trains, I own all three of them!

Here's the wonderful Brickset page to over analyze this kind of stuff...

[Lego Dino 500]

I have 119 sets and 119 mini figures with an estimated size of around 30,000 parts, including duplicates and loose PaB pieces. I've collected all of them over the past 11 years of my life, starting with Hordika Vakama and Nuju and 7255 General Grievous Chase on my 5th birthday party.

[bonox]

is this a pissing contest, or are you looking for info?

There's a significant difference imo between having a thousand sets, most of which have less than 100 parts - polybags, old city and space vehicles with 25 parts each and so on, compared to a hundred modulars, technic vehicles, GBCs etc. I don't have all that many sets (my insurance spreadsheet says 243) but it comes to 277,198 parts and 460kg and averages over 1100 parts per set.

[Lego_v194]

I am a rookie at this and only have 2 so far.

I own the camper van (60057) and the emerald express (31015). I just came out of 2 dark ages that lasted from the late 1980s to 2011. Then another from 2013 to 2015.

[Boettner Builds]

So Bricklink says I have 1133 sets and 2597 minifigs. The set count is accurate but the minifig count is not. I have quite a few more minifigs, but its not counting all of the ones I have made (maybe a few hundred more...)

[fred67]

You own 391 sets, 318 different.

We have piece counts for 311 of them. You own 132650 pieces.

You own 1396 minifigs.

Some of those are CMFs, but I only say I have a complete set of 16, I don't do them individually.

[Peppermint_M]

I have no idea. I lost count after a spate of buying-for-parts one day after a clearance sale or two. I didn't bother keeping a list up to date, but I know I have thousands of pieces. When I began my sorting effort, I had four 10 litre IKEA Samla boxes full of parts. This was before I parted out any sets I had in boxes or unboxed polybags and I have made a number of purchases since.

I'm not a set collector, or truly a minifig collector. I use bricklink to see where parts I want for MOCs are and then have a go at remembering if I purchased the set the part came in or not!

[HawkLord]

According to Brickset, I have 162 sets, with 134 being unique. Those are from my major lines - Star Wars, Marvel, Harry Potter, LotR/Hobbit, Jurassic World, Mixels, and Simpsons. They estimate that I have approximately 56,000 bricks and 651 minifigures. Though this data does not include random sets from other lines I've bought, PaB, or CMF. I haven't bothered to add those.

[Robert8]

Around 50... I'm not sure.

When I was younger I bought a lot sets but now I've become more selective about what I buy

And about the CMF's: The set is the whole collection of the 16 Minifigures

[samurai-turtle]

is this a pissing contest,

Looks like it is, because brickset telling me I got.

589 sets (Some are duplicate sets I am guessing around 5%.)

73,672 pieces

1126 mini-figures (And that includes Collectable Mini-Figures Series.)

[BrickJagger]

According to Brickset, I own 273 sets, 737 minifigs and 49,850 pieces. This does not include about twenty loose Castle figs, about ten loose town figs, about ten loose WWII custom figs, about 150 Brickarms, and about 10,000 loose parts I own.

Top three categories*:

City: 53 sets

Star Wars: 45 sets

Castle: 29 sets

City: 173 minifigs

Star Wars: 110 minifigures

Castle: 102 minifigures

Advanced Models: 12,920 pieces

Star Wars: 9,584 pieces

Castle: 8,444 pieces

These numbers will soon bloat as I have nine Star Wars sets, three City sets, eleven Castle sets and the Modular building on my want list for January.

*Out of eighteen themes.

[dr_spock]

According to my spreadsheet, I have 214 sets.

My cat pissed into a tub of 1000 bricks. Did she win?

[ShaydDeGrai]

According to Brickset (which I know to be incomplete because I don't do a good job of entering data) I have at least 600 or so unique sets (I generally don't bother entering duplicates), about a thousand unique minifigures, and about 300,000 parts. Between duplicate kits, bulk brick orders, PaB, Bricklink orders etc. I'd guess that's somewhere between a quarter to a third of my actual collection.

Does anyone know if Brickset can tell me how many brick separators I own? I'm curious but at my age I don't think I can count that high anymore...

[bonox]

My cat pissed into a tub of 1000 bricks. Did she win?

I think so!

[xboxtravis7992]

My cat pissed into a tub of 1000 bricks. Did she win?

Bwhahahahaha!

[welfycat]

Fortunately my cat hasn't pissed on or in the Lego yet, but she did pee on my box set of Buffy The Vampire Slayer...

Slightly more on topic:

285 sets, approx 87,000 pieces.

I know the piece count is off by quite a bit thanks to some bulk buys and such, but I haven't a clue by how much. Maybe an additional 7,500 to 10,000 pieces.

[Xyver]

I was annoyed by my Brickset set list including the CMF that I owned, so I took them out and added them to a special list that I created. I did the same for the Friends sets that I have as I wanted to keep them separate as well.

You own 254 sets, 213 different.

We have piece counts for 212 of them. You own 129827 pieces.

Friends sets is at 59

Parts list is way out due to numerous bulk part purchases over the years.

I do agree that sets owned can be distorted due the way it treats each CMF as a separate set and owning 100 polybags is a lot different to owning 100 large scale sets. I guess that's when you look at the piece count and you work out an average piece count per set.

Since a fair share of my set purchases are really just for parts, the number I sets I own according to my list doesn't really mean that much unless I wanted to build them all to sell individually (but if I did that, I wouldn't care as I would no longer have a reason to go on)

[fred67]

Yeah... the prevailing theme I'm seeing here is that, while people use brickset, they aren't obsessive enough to make sure it's 100% accurate. Still a good rough estimate, though. To the OP, there was a posting a while back on setting the world record. The original posting from bricklink is long gone, though. Several people with over 1000 unique sets.

[YellowCorvette]

Unfortunately, I only have 12 sets because of limited budget.

The sets I have according to theme:

6 from Ferrari (Polybag)

2 from Hero Factory

2 from City

1 from Bionicle

1 from Star Wars

[Jockos]

Related to your ages, how long have you been collecting the sets? I dunno, if it's good, if I have roughly 610 sets, including maximum 10 books with gears, otherwise everything is pure Lego and I'm nearly 18.
