    If you sort by color. . .when did you start? —Barry McFarland
   After sorting some pieces tonight, I got to thinking. Due to shear numbers (now over 22,000 pieces) I have begun sorting things like 1Xn plates, 2Xn bricks, and 2Xn plates by color. If you do sort by color, then when did you start? It seems to me (...) (26 years ago, 19-Dec-98, to lugnet.general)

     I started back in May with about 6 million Legos and I sorted them in about 2 months. It took a while, yes it did... (26 years ago, 19-Dec-98, to lugnet.general)

     (...) How in the heck did you get that many Legos? I think I have about 30,000, probably 15,000 in the apart status. My friend and I sorted them into colors nad put them into 2 gallon ziplock bags. Some colors fill the bags, others don't. We (...) (26 years ago, 19-Dec-98, to lugnet.general)

     (...) I watched this one languish on the shelf for months at $29.99 until. . one day I picked it up again to contemplate it's value to me (not being a big pirates enthusiast) and it is priced at $14.99! Other items I've scored from the past 6 months (...) (26 years ago, 19-Dec-98, to lugnet.general)

     (...) I came out of my dark ages about 3 years ago with about 150 pieces. Until about a week ago, I sorted by color -- with about 20,000 pieces. Now I sort roughly by LDraw category, which works out better than I imagined it would. Cheers, - Sproat (26 years ago, 21-Dec-98, to lugnet.general)

   Do you mean *just* by color? One bucket/tub for each color? That only works up to a certain point. My current sort is somewhat complex, primaraly by shape for the common elements. I do have a bucket for each color for "special" pieces that don't go (...) (26 years ago, 26-Dec-98, to lugnet.general)
   
        Re: If you sort by color. . .when did you start? —Tim Courtney
     (...) keeps things simple with form in mind, and I like it. I had color before, and my best friend is sold out on color sorting, but it doesn't work for me. It's too dang hard to find the piece you want when there are 1000 or so of the same color (...) (26 years ago, 26-Dec-98, to lugnet.general)
   
        Re: If you sort by color. . .when did you start? —Barry McFarland
   (...) No. I meant by color after you have too many of a particular piece. I too sort by piece category (LDRAW, Auczilla, etc.). I'm down to sorting all 1xn plates and bricks by color, 2xn plates and bricks as well. Barry (26 years ago, 27-Dec-98, to lugnet.general)
