Right now, I sort by color, but I also have several boxes of "new" LEGO.
The "new" LEGO is typically a box filled with about 3-4 new LEGO sets of
parts.  I have a pretty good idea of what parts are in those sets, so I can
go to the right box.

This is a really slack way to sort and I'm probably going to get a lot more
bins.

Hello, I hope this is the correct place to post this.  I looked through • the
FAQs but didn't see anything that applied to what I'm going to ask about.

I recently rediscovered LEGO and have been acquiring quite a lot of parts
that I'm going to use for building MOC.  I'm trying to figure out what the
best way to sort and store the parts would be.

I started by sorting by colors, but that isn't very efficient.  It takes
forever when I'm looking for a specific part that's among a lot of other
parts that are the same color but different sizes.  This is especially • true
when there are only a few (or one!!) of the specific part I'm looking for.

It definitely isn't practical for me to sort each part into specific part
type (all 1x1, 1x2, and all the different plates and "special parts" etc.)

Does anyone have any suggestions or is there some info somewhere that • would
help me figure this out without having to go through all of the pain
involved with learning by trial and error?? :-)


Thanks

Ron
