As usual, I will share this in the form of a long babbling story. ;) When I was six (1978) I owned a Fire (...) (23 years ago, 2-Jan-03, to lugnet.general, lugnet.storage)

(...) My experience is it's all about how much Lego you've got. If you've got a collection that's less than, say, 3,000 pieces, you probably don't really even need to sort. In the end I think what it boils down to is how large of a bin/box/drawer (...) (23 years ago, 2-Jan-03, to lugnet.general)
