  Fed UP!!!!!!!!
 
To LUGNET users: For the past 7 months I have heard too much about the color issues. It is time to put the issue behind us and move on for the good of the community. Sometimes I think that all of you forgot that this is a toy. A toy for kids that we (...) (22 years ago, 13-Jul-04, to lugnet.general) !!

(...) It all boils down to the fact that nearly all hinged pieces are being replaced with click-hinge equivalents. One particularly noted instance is the conversion from (URL) this part> to (URL) this part>. The second pic doesn't really do a good (...) (22 years ago, 13-Jul-04, to lugnet.general, FTX)

I'm not at all desiring to get involved in this flame-war. I want to ask a simple question to you about this post though. What is the click-hinge conversion you are talking about? I like those click-hinge parts and I use them when I need them, but (...) (22 years ago, 13-Jul-04, to lugnet.general)
 
  Re: Your Organizational Genius is Needed...
 
Pat- I agree with most of the advice, though recommend against 2 of your conclusions: 1.We sort by color after sorting by type. 2.We do not label containers (at least not transparent ones). We've been growing a sorted collection for 14 years, and (...) (22 years ago, 13-Jul-04, to lugnet.general)

  Re: Your Organizational Genius is Needed...
 
Thanks to all of you who replied!! Every single reply had a snippet (or better) of useful information. I am putting all of them to good use. - Sorting by color first - Take each color, and sort out the really large pieces, then slightly smaller (...) (22 years ago, 13-Jul-04, to lugnet.general)
 
  Re: A fan no more

  Re: A fan no more
 
(...) I think the general view expressed so far suggests that many long-term TECHNIC builders are still firmly married to the studded system, that many people who have gone heavily into Mindstorms have found reasons to cross over, and kids are (...)

  Re: A fan no more
 
(...) The ironic thing is that there is no TECHNIC clone on the market (making the one on the left more distinctly "LEGO"), and parents often get confused about what is truly LEGO product vs. what is a clone product. (22 years ago, 13-Jul-04, to lugnet.general)
