Thinking about your dilemma, you could[1] grab all ten copies of a
single bag, and sort out the pieces from that bag.  Repeat for all bags.

Then build one model to discover the required pieces, and collect 10x
from each pile.

BTW, I may be having an over-strong reaction to this situation.  I just
finished building the Technic Space Shuttle, and those bags were *very*
well sorted.  Even if I couldn't remember which bag a piece was in, I
typically only had to look in one or two bags, because almost all pieces
were bagged by size.

[1] Assuming all sets are bagged the same way.  Sure, I'm bordering on
LEGO heresy here, but this is an *odd* set.

What it is is ANNOYING. I'm going to have to build one complete set, then tear all the subsets down, make an inventory, then open the other 9+ to sort them into the subsets. NO WAY am I building 10 of everything. (...) (28 years ago, 24-Feb-99, to lugnet.general)
