I need numbers people!! Quote
Myers Lego Technic Posted March 19, 2017 Posted March 19, 2017 I would estimate that I have some 20 to 30 thousand spare Technic elements lying around at any given time. Quote

JunkstyleGio Posted March 19, 2017 Posted March 19, 2017 (edited) According to Brickset i've got aprox 76,000+ parts. Furthermore i've bought/received about 20,000+ parts in various batches/boxes. Most of the parts are build in sets, MOCs and Doodles. ... But any set is prone to scavenging for (spare)parts.... Edited March 19, 2017 by JunkstyleGio Quote
Dafgek81 Posted March 19, 2017 Posted March 19, 2017 (edited) I have taken apart about 10 Technic sets, all and all I have around 55000 elements in my collection. I have these sets on display: 8868 8862 8110 8482 8258 8285 8459 42054 the blue fury and a massive Actros MOC (6000 parts) The rest is in pieces. Edited March 19, 2017 by Dafgek81 Quote
M_longer Posted March 19, 2017 Posted March 19, 2017 At least 100000 pieces. And probably more are coming :) Quote
efferman Posted March 19, 2017 Posted March 19, 2017 parts left or parts build in models, or all parts in complete? Quote

Yes...based on the comments I should have said parts NOT from the models people have built. Spare parts or extras bought In etc. Edited March 19, 2017 by Richard Dower Typo Quote
nychase Posted March 19, 2017 Posted March 19, 2017 (edited) Spare Parts.....over 1M ....not even a question...I keep thinking I have them for a reason but the reality is its time to sell them off. In addition, a MOC collection 2nd to only Blakbird and nearly every Technic set ever (some omissions for recent non-flagship sets). Edited March 20, 2017 by nychase Quote
Aventador2004 Posted March 19, 2017 Posted March 19, 2017 Not that many of mine have been bought, probably 25 pieces (I base off sets) Quote
teos Posted March 19, 2017 Posted March 19, 2017 (edited) I keep most of my models built, so spare Technic parts is maybe 4k (5k tops). Plus a 42042 & 42063 not yet built. Edit: I'm not sure the basis for your question, so I will assume it pertains to how much you should have available for building. If I were an avid Technic moc builder, I would probably want to keep around 25k or more on hand for projects. This amount also depends on the scale of the projects. More is often better.

J_C Posted March 19, 2017 Posted March 19, 2017 All my LEGO parts are spare parts. I never keep anything built for long. Quote
veryrusty Posted March 19, 2017 Posted March 19, 2017 I've probably got 20-30k parts as moc supplies. Will go up and down with what stages mocs are in. Quote
Sprites Posted March 19, 2017 Posted March 19, 2017 a few thousand? but most of them are 90's stuff. Quote
suffocation Posted March 19, 2017 Posted March 19, 2017 Around 140K plus a dozen built models ready to be torn apart as needed (except for 8880 ). Quote
allanp Posted March 19, 2017 Posted March 19, 2017 I only have one or two models built at a time so usually about 120,000. Quote
andythenorth Posted March 19, 2017 Posted March 19, 2017 About 30k or 40k, and the rest built up (out of sight in the attic). Quote
ColletArrow Posted March 19, 2017 Posted March 19, 2017 2 hours ago, J_C said: All my LEGO parts are spare parts. I never keep anything built for long. Similar here, although my models have been hanging around for longer. Typically it will last until I scavenge parts such as a gearbox or pneumatic cylinder for another model. I have no idea how many parts are spare; I guess somewhere around 1,500 are unused at any time. It's a small technic collection at present, 42006 being my biggest set. Only 1 or 2 (pushing it) technic MOCs can be built at a time, but parts may be stolen from elsewhere. Quote
rollermonkey Posted March 19, 2017 Posted March 19, 2017 Everyone should edit their numbers to not include black pins. ;) Quote
JJ2 Posted March 20, 2017 Posted March 20, 2017 According to Rebrickable I have 1,285 spare parts not in sets just from my bricklink orders I have made, I'll add about 5k to that from other garage sale buys and round up to say about 6.5k spare parts, probably less though. Quote
dr_spock Posted March 20, 2017 Posted March 20, 2017 I estimate 3048 pieces that are not in sets. Maybe 48 if you take out all the black pins. Quote
DrJB Posted March 20, 2017 Posted March 20, 2017 About 200k for Technic. Double that if I include Non-Technic (e.g. Classic, Friends, Elves, Ninjago, Bionicle, Chima, FLL ...). Just like NYChase, I think it's about time to offload and recoup usage of one bedroom. Quote
