Lego Tower

Christmas was good to me

Having no hobby (like me) makes it difficult for those who want to buy Christmas/birthday gifts. Now that I'm trying to build Lego towers, the pent-up demand for a good gift for me has resulted in receiving many, many pounds of Legos for Christmas. After many hours of sorting and weighing I can finally report just how many Legos I have.

1x1 - 6594
1x2 - 11341
1x3 - 2307
1x4 - 5220
1x6 - 1598
1x8 - 738
2x2 - 8289
2x3 - 2875
2x4 - 6389

Over 45,000 bricks. An increase of 140% from the previous inventory. This does not even include the many special pieces I have. Including those, I have over 160 lbs of Legos.

So how tall of a tower could I build with all of this? I need to think about it but the last tower only used about 10,000 bricks and was almost 18 feet tall.
