  Re: Building exhaustion
 
(...) I reached that point about a year ago. I have a bunch of sets sitting in boxes because I don't have anywhere to put them if I build them - nor do I have storage space. (...) Ugh. By original set? Blech. No system is really perfect, I guess. I (...) (25 years ago, 11-May-99, to lugnet.starwars, lugnet.build)
 
  Re: Piece sorting (was: building exhaustion)
 
(...) Whoops! My bad -- I posted this off-topic message and didn't forward it to an appropriate group. Thanks to Tom McDonald for catching it, but I'm afraid it'll just keep on going in the wrong groups. My apologies to everyone. (...) I did this (...)

  Re: Piece sorting (was: building exhaustion)
 
For me, I have evolved from colors to actually sorting bricks out by their size/shape. I have eight 60 drawer shelving units, and multiple plastic variable size tackle box type containers. I do sort by color as well, but just for the BASIC bricks. I (...) (25 years ago, 10-May-99, to lugnet.starwars, lugnet.build)
 
  Piece sorting (was: building exhaustion)
 
(...) Actually, I have thought about using the sort-by-original-set method, since getting all the new SW sets. Before that, I used to sort by color, but with all the older space sets I have, I have two big drawers for black pieces. I had white (...)

  Re: Building exhaustion
 
(...) Which reminds me, I haven't seen a discussion on piece-sorting for a while. After buying all the SW sets (1), I have well over 1.8 jazillion pieces to sort, categorize, and cram into my soon-to-be-overflowing drawer system. Has this new theme (...)

  Re: Building exhaustion
 
It would be nice to see a Millenium Falcom, but my guess is that we'll either see an AT-ST or something small in that area. How about a Slave I? (25 years ago, 10-May-99, to lugnet.starwars, lugnet.build)

  Re: Building exhaustion
 
Yes and no, depending on how many copies are needed. The Master Builder I talked to at Legoland CA explained that when doing a one-of-a-kind model, the MB would complete it, and then hand it off to specialists that are experts at copying - they'd (...)

Regarding Building exhaustion. Recently finished off the top of my Millennium Falcon model and that took a tole on me. Was up till 4:30 am working on it and finally had to go to sleep. Woke up two hours later and finished it. For the circular saucer (...) (25 years ago, 10-May-99, to lugnet.starwars, lugnet.build)

  Re: Building exhaustion
 
(...) Hmm.... 894 pieces divided by fifteen minutes, divided by 60 seconds per minute = one piece placed every .99 seconds. And that is not taking into acount any time spent opening the box and bags and looking at the instructions. Wow, your hands (...) (25 years ago, 10-May-99, to lugnet.starwars, lugnet.build)
 
  Re: Building exhaustion
 
That'll be the day, Sanjay. It would be greedy enough to ask for a minifig- scale Millenium Falcon, let alone an AT-AT or a Death Star (please). Even a nanofig-scale Death Star would take up an entire room. (25 years ago, 9-May-99, to lugnet.starwars, lugnet.build)
