 | | Do You Sort on Vacation? —John Neal
| | | | (URL) We do!> If you have a large LEGO collection like we do, and if you like to build A LOT but not clean up after so much (like we do), then you are probably like us in that you have A LOT of unsorted bricks around (like we do). And who has the (...) (18 years ago, 14-Apr-06, to lugnet.general, lugnet.people, lugnet.storage, FTX)

| | | | | | I'm often forced to sort just to compact the Lego even further than just pulling bags out of tubs/boxes, but that's Lego bought on the vacations. Though since the Bley change, I don't buy anywhere near as much. Now I usually have to compact it to (...) (18 years ago, 14-Apr-06, to lugnet.general, lugnet.people, lugnet.storage)

| | | | | | (...) No, I would have the trays they are to be sorted into with me. Gahd but I'm so sick of sorting. I've devoted scores of hours just trying to sort out about 27 gallons. Partly because I have to juggle stack on trays and such when one category or (...) (18 years ago, 15-Apr-06, to lugnet.general, lugnet.people, lugnet.storage, FTX)

| | | | | (...) 50 pounds? The airlines didn't charge you extra to ship? Or did you drive? I think in some states, sorting Lego on vacation is grounds for divorce... :) --Mike. (18 years ago, 17-Apr-06, to lugnet.general, lugnet.people, lugnet.storage, FTX)

| | | | | I usually have to sort Lego that I've bought while in Orlando just so I can fit it in the car ;-) Though since Bley, the amount of Lego compared to other things bought on vacation pales to the past. Gone are the days of heading home with 50 tubs (...) (18 years ago, 18-Apr-06, to lugnet.general, lugnet.people, lugnet.storage)

| | | | | (...) <sigh> I remember when the GMLTC displayed at the Kidvention in LLC way back in '99. I bought 40 tubs from the BIG store. Gave the tubs to some MCs [1] and packed the rest into a rather large box-- thanks to the light-traveling Abner Finley (...)

| | | | | Doh! I wish you would have told me then! Odds are they just pitched the tubs, and I could have packed at least some of them in my car. The new tubs suck, as the lids don't clip on very securely, and the studs sticking up take up a bit too much space (...) (18 years ago, 20-Apr-06, to lugnet.general, lugnet.people, lugnet.storage)
