I was wondering about this yesterday. I try to keep all of my new and
almost new LEGO separated from the old well played LEGO. Why? Probably
because I don't like to build something new, and then find that a few
pieces really stand out because they were heavily played with. So I
keep the old stuff (only about 5% of my collection) segregated from my
regular building material.
Do other folks do this?

| (...) I do not segregate new from old. In fact, I like the variation of wear/scratches/dirt that old bricks have. IMO, it makes buildings look more realistic. A building of all brand new bricks is just too shiny and pristine for me. (25 years ago, 13-May-99, to lugnet.build)

| Yep. I'm in the same boat, less than 5% worn Lego (mainly because I sold most of my old Lego to finance buying a lot of the new Lego), so I keep it in a separate tub. (...) -- | Tom Stangl, Technical Support Netscape Communications Corp | | Please (...) (25 years ago, 13-May-99, to lugnet.build)

| I don't, simply because most of my collection falls under the "new" category, if I think I know what Gary is talking about. ;) The only separation I do though is putting the Town Junior parts (I.E. Car bodies, those horrible arch things, etc.) into (...) (25 years ago, 18-May-99, to lugnet.build)
