Fwoosh! I'm not just impressed with the collection, I'm impressed with the work necessary to input all that! I just went through and updated just my Star Wars sets, and raised my piece count from 50,000 to 66,000, and I stopped after that from a combination of apathy and exhaustion. :D

Hehe. I add newly purchased sets instantly to the list. The biggest part of the work has been making the list when I was a fresh Lugnet member four years ago. But I 'only' had about 200 sets from my expanded childhood to input then.

I have to agree with Jojo. If you started out "small" as in
having a general idea of what sets you had while you were
a child...and are able to input them in, then putting sets in as you acquire them is much easier, rather than putting all the sets you own later.

I think its very impressive that Jojo has acquired that much Lego after only 3 or 4 years of "serious collecting".

I, myself, have sort of been in that "collecting" mode.

However, as you can see, my collection still not even close to the size of Jojo's collection. But, I do want to say is
that in the few years that I have been collecting, my
collection has increased 5-fold since I was younger (pre-1999).

Thanks, Ben

Oh please!


No more jealousy! Let the past rest!
There are people with bigger collections, more rare parts and more castle figs than me. In a moment of weakness I uploaded the pics and I'm beginning to regret it...

Look at all the nice MOCs in the MOC forum instead!

To everyone that is jealous of Jojo: know this:

I used to be wildly jealous and envious of people with larger collections, and always thought how un-fair it was that they had so much more than I.

But then, one day, I become one of those guys with larger collections.

The question is: How?

The answer: every paycheck I buy a lego set - when a sale comes through town, I grab a few. every now and then i grab rare pieces off BrickLink. Multiply this equation by a few years worth of being an AFOL, bam! I'm got a big collection.

My point is: Jojo, don't feel bad about posting the pictures. They are lots of fun, and any crap I've given you, has been in fun. ;)

I'd like to add Jojo - I am not jealous of you for your big collection, or your rare parts, or any of that. :D

Its that really cool t-shirt with the black falcon symbol on it man!!!

No wait- seriously dude. any crap I have given you has also been in fun :lol:

I actually admire all of the things you build and love the small moc's as much as the monsters like falkenstein.

oh - and btw - how'd you do the walls on this wagon?

You may have guessed it: I used SNOT technique. (pic = link)

Image

The problem was to combine elements in SNOT (because those tiles just had to be SNOTed) with an unSNOTable window. I managed to get the tiles lined up with the window but unfortunately the whole construction is not exactly 6 studs wide. It's 5 and 3/5 studs wide.

...Now waiting for BenE moving this post to "MOCs"... ;)

JoJo (which I found out at BF PDX from Axel is pronouced "yoyo" in English) you have an immpressive collection. But for light grey can anyone match Dr. Carney? He is working on a model of Chepstow right now and it is minifig scale and will moew than TEN FEET LONG! when done. Holy backboards!

Rather than feeling jealous, I would like to know if differents torsos/shields can help to date classic sets. For example, are pink 375 shields older than purple ones?
