The amount of Lego in my house is simply astounding - numerous sets of various sizes including the biggies of R2-D2 and the VW Campervan, both of which were c£150 I think.

According to QI the other week, Lego make more "tyres" than any real tyre manufacturer in the world.

I received a Lego Ecto-1 (the car from Ghostbusters) for Christmas and before that a Lego Batmobile for my birthday...

The arse end of Hangleton
A possibly interesting fact ( although I can't prove it ! ). A few years ago a cargo lorry carrying millions of bits of lego sank of the Cornish coast. Over the last few years bits have been found on beaches all over the world. So much so, scientists have started to use it the try and track how the worlds currents work.

Lorries have a nasty habit of not floating I have to say.

But you are right, the Dragon is the rarest find I think.
Some have been found in Australia, but not actually verified as from the Cornish accident.

There is a website devoted to all the finds, but I can't be arsed to l;look for it.
