Oooh. I was thinking of something different...

natro220

I thought it was odd you'd have zero.  LOL

Legopants

Just 22, plus 2 I used to have but sold in a moment of foolishness.

catwrangler

#6376: Breezeway Cafe
#6195: Neptune Discovery Lab
#10193: Medieval Market Village

And of course, I covet many more.

Difficult question to answer without having a list of sets in the book, is there a bricklist somewhere? I have the book at home, but I have not opened it yet :-O

LusiferSam

Officially it's 47.   But if I count the renumbered US sets that are identical to their European counterparts it's 52.  All but 16 of the 52 are originally mine.  Those most of those were added in the last few years. 

Other than maybe 810 I can't say that there is much that I'd really like to add to my collect from this list.

madforLEGO

I have 37 on the list at this time. Some I wish I still had.

khmellymel

Bitsyww2

oldtodd33

47 sets officially with 7 renumbered sets from the older days.

MissKittyFantastico

An even 20, mostly recent - #396 Thatcher Perkins Locomotive is the earliest to appear.  The world's moved on (very happy with Emerald Night and the Hogwarts Express as my on-display trains at present), but I remember when the old girl seemed so big a build as to be almost intimidating.

Jern92

I have Medieval Market Village, Haunted House, Parisian Restaurant, Simpsons House, Ghostbusters Ecto-1, and Detective's Office.

Also have a Lepin Green Grocer but I guess that doesn't count.

MichaelSmith

Thanks for the responses everyone :)

I've just worked it out, the combined value (used) for all the sets listed in the book would be around AU$24,000

gmonkey76

pasat14

I have 7..which is more than i expected...plus i have the book and didnt even realise :s ahha

brumey

i have #735 fire truck 

its my oldest set, besides some fabuland!

TheOriginalSimonB

The grand total for me is three definite ones. Looks like I might have the appropriate loose parts inherited from cousins back in the 70s to make a couple more really early sets but I don't recall seeing them built.

Rainstorm26

I loved #367.  It was one of my first sets.....too bad it got all jumbled up and given away to my cousin.

jgadget

57 with 13 duplicates

Recce

For me it's 20+ sets, mostly the recent ones. Didn't get the rest of the recent sets as not interestd in them.

PeteM

16 - six from 'the old days' and ten from the recent years. Thanks for reminding me of the book though, it's overdue a re-read to remind myself of all the fantastic sets I still need to get....

AllBrick

2 complete sets and maybe 3 or 4 other sets that I need to confirm as complete.

LittleLori

5 mostly newer
