| | | The last few weeks I've been sorting. In a bad way. Before rtlToronto9, I started sorting out pieces. It made Technic building so easy, especially to get what you needed when you were trying to assemble something you had in mind. It also made (...)

| | | | | | | (...) 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)

I had my stuff sorted into those plastic ice cream containers--worked really well. plates were sorted by colour so i could use just black and grey in my 'bots. i had a canadian tire organizer (the one with the 1.5x2x6 inch plastic drawer in a (...)

| | | | (...) 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. The other upside being that I know how many of a (...) (23 years ago, 12-Dec-01, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto, lugnet.storage)

I am slowly winning the battle though (of course 2002 LEGO is here or on the horizon and clearance season is comming soon, so I might lose ground).

Sorting lets me do a little bit of working with the bricks, without a (...) (23 years ago, 14-Dec-01, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto, lugnet.storage)
