(...) Wow...that is incredible. I tried sorting stuff out, and it DOES make building a LOT easier. And the realized that over the years Lego was just as guilty back then (in the golden years) for putting out specialized elements for certain sets. (...)

(...) Yup. But the ratio of useful/common elements to weird ones was much higher. Nowadays it's nearly 1:1 or lower! (...) Well, I continously cull out bricks I don't like. Not so much like Bruce does (Microscout!? Blah! Toss it!) (BTW Bruce, if you (...) (23 years ago, 12-Dec-01, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) Excellent! I've had similar experiences myself. It took what seemed forever to sort my Technic, but it pays off whenever I build new mecha these days. I can find any part within a few seconds.

(...) I know how it feels, but it's also a good way to get into spending time with Lego. Like, some days, I get home and I just feel like flopping in front of the television.
