Toy Collector of the Week - LEGO fanatic Darren Smith

Darren Smith of the UK has the proud honor of being the owner of the largest private LEGO collection. At over 2000 sets and 2 million bricks, Smith owns a collection valued at almost $100,000. The 32-year-old has had to convert his loft and garage to house the collection – and his wife says it threatens to overrun their small home. Lately he has turned to building large LEGO figures to put his talents to use.
Smith says, “Storage is an issue but I just keep on collecting. Lego produce about 200 new sets each year and I want them all.”

His collection made the news in the UK press this week, and you can read more about it here.
