I have a big enough collection to do that, but I've resisted, because
when I take apart a model I don't want to have quite so many places to
put things. As it is I have only 21 bins in total - though I do use
Plano boxes for the little Technic pieces.
Besides, I enjoy raking through some pieces that are different from
the one I'm looking for, because I get a lot of inspiration for ideas
that way.
