My 1000+ Set Classic Lego Collection

[Jetflap]

It's been quite a few years since I posted photos of my Lego collection so I thought I'd post an update. I focus on sets from 1978- mid 90's and have ALL the Space, Train, Pirate, Castle,and other smaller theme sets from that time period; Technic and Town I still need about 50 of each. A young collector friend of mine was kind enough to make a video of the collection in which I give a brief overview and review a few special sets. He's willing to do more in depth videos if anyone wants to see more, let him know in the comments on his video!

Enjoy the trip down memory lane...

Wow!!

That's a lot of sets, very neatly organized and stored in their boxes.  Have you built them all?

Thanks, about 10% are unopened but these are usually small sets, polybags, value packs, etc. Everything else I have built as part of my process to confirm completeness and make sure the parts are all in excellent condition.

Very smartly done and simply amazing. Do you build some then re-box them and build some others rotating through the sets, or do you just continually obtain new sets?

I definitely see some very desirable sets as well, looks like a lifetime of fun, enjoy.

Thank you, I've been at it since Bricklink first came on the scene in 2000 when I discovered I could still buy the Western sets I'd missed in my brief dark ages. I usually just build them once when I first get them, and add sets usually on a weekly basis as I find ones I'm missing. I also have a large want list on BL of boxes and a few instructions I still need to bring everything up to as close to new as possible. It can be hard to find all the proper box inserts for example.

@Jetflap, Sensational collection but can you say which are the ten you prefer (click here)?

Awesome collection!

I hope it's insured. I have mine insured through a special agency specializing in collections like this.

This is insane! 

Hope you can find the missing sets.
