This is about one third of my total LEGO.

If we're just talking about total LEGO pieces, none of my tubs of loose bricks are in those pictures. I have cubic meters of them.

I have about 1.5 cubic meters of loose parts, as well as a number of fully-made sets. Most of the sets are either from the City or System lines. I think the biggest one I have is the passenger plane released in ~2008 (don't remember the set number), and my favorite sets would probably be 6536 Aero Hawk (mainly due to nostalgia) and my extensively modified instance of 4435 Car and Camper.

A car and camper set modified by an FC member? I expect it to have a jump drive and fire missiles.

I have no idea how much. I know it's worth a lot more than I've spent on it, because I've had most of them for long enough that the sets are discontinued, but figuring out exactly how much would be a difficult task. Many thousands of dollars, though.

I remember hacking together minions, dropships, spaceships, all sorts of stuff with the generic lego bits. You seem to prefer kits, though.

To each his own, I guess.

I am envious of you all. I only have two of those really old, small tubs full of Legos. We cannot afford them really.

My brother takes care of our loose parts we have while I store the completed models.
I mostly buy sets, because they have the special parts I need for my builds, but after some time, they eventually get disassembled and their parts reused for original builds.
In total it propably ammounts to about 1.5-2 cubic meters of parts.

I've never been big on building custom models. A couple of times I've altered the builds a little bit to make them more accurate, but not very often. I've been meaning to go and replace all the black on Jek-14's fighter with New Republic grey and orange to get a real E-wing, though. That would be the most extensively custom thing I'd have.

As I said, to each his own; any kits I had in the past were disassembled after a brief period to be used for original models of various things. I think I had an anti-orbital cannon built from some Star Wars, city, generic, and at least two Halo parts at one point.

But keeping completed kits around? Just assembling something via instructions is a bit... eh, to me.

Indeed after I build a model and the novelty wears off it eventually finds itself modified or disassembled and placed elsewhere.

I once built a fish out of one and a half cubic metres of bionicle parts. It was an awesome fish, it could swallow things. Was colored like a rainbow, though, and I used parts in partially heretical ways in mostly heretical places.

Don't tell anybody, but to this day I have a faint hope for Futurecraft, or something similar to it, to happen. Within my lifetime.
