    Do you separate old vs. new LEGO? —Gary R. Istok
   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 (...) (25 years ago, 13-May-99, to lugnet.build)

     (...) I don't actually seperate the old/new for wear, but I do try to be extra careful when building with colors such as white and yellow. I should wash those colors, then I wouldn't have a problem. I do sort out a few old parts more for their (...) (25 years ago, 13-May-99, to lugnet.build)

     (...) 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)

     (...) Wow. I did not expect this answer from you. But yeah, shiny building sometimes bother me a bit too. Stuff that's supposed to represent actual brick/stucco/plaster as opposed to a shiny glass/metal skyscraper kinda sticks out. -Tom McD. when (...) (25 years ago, 13-May-99, to lugnet.build)

      Gary Istok wrote (...) Yes, especially since I wasn't that careful in taking care of my Lego as a child, so it is noticeably scratched up. I do this for the exact same reason, when I build something I want it to look clean and consistent, and those (...) (25 years ago, 13-May-99, to lugnet.build)
   
        Re: Do you separate old vs. new LEGO? —Tom Stangl
     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.

        Re: Do you separate old vs. new LEGO? —Richard Hrynyszyn
     (...) My old lego is constantly at war with my new lego. I build tanks- like vehicles from my old 70's lego (mostly yellow universal and blue/grey space sets) and have battles with the new lego. My old lego vehicles are manned by old space and (...) (25 years ago, 14-May-99, to lugnet.build)
   
        Re: Do you separate old vs. new LEGO? —Scott Edward Sanburn
   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)
