hmm, must have mistyped something when doing my math. I was off by 2

 

Is that piece-count in 6. correct? My source (http://gizmodo.com/this-incredible-full-scale-lego-x-wing-is-the-largest-m-509484787) has it with 20 less pieces. They might have missed a cheeseslope in their count ....

@Alpinemaps your parts count for 10129 is incorrect per brickpicker and bricklink

I'm tally scores right now, but I'll go back and double check my sources when I'm done.

We'll get started on Round 2 at 15:30 EDT.

Will give results after I calculate them, and double check the questionable questions.

Different pages have different numbers.  So i thought it was safe to say over 5M  lol

THe only people who think it was blue are those like me who bought the Kenner toys back in the day.

Good luck all.  I totally blew question #3 as I did not pay close enough attention   

Number #5 was a blank for me (only been collecting a few months and had no clue).

Been collecting awhile and had no clue ?

I said Young Obi-Wan and maskless Captain America from UCS for 5. I guess there was an Obi-Wan with or without a cape which makes it not a unique Star Wars figure?

Whew!

Everyone should have an "Accepted" PM from me, which means I've got your answers recorded in my spreadsheet.  Now I get to do the math and figure out the results.

Calculation would go quicker if you upgraded your calculator

My answer to question 6: Vader. Paying attention and focus is not my cup of tea

Don't judge!

Should've remembered the Indiana Jones minifigure has whiskers. Dang

I was thinking odd balls like Watto or Jar Jar (granted the General had same head I think, different color) maybe, but no clue if used in other sets.

Regarding the Snowspeeder question, I used box counts (pieces):

So 75144+10129 = 85,273; 1703+1457 = 3160.  85,273-3160 = 82,113

I accept that. It appears that my sources were inaccurate.

I was worried about that, which is why I tried to say piece count.  I knew what was printed on the boxes could counter any argument.
