Rubbermaid see-thru stackable for all varied
bin for
- transparent pcs
- slopes
- tires
- hinged/turntable/lego pcs consisting of more than 1 lego pc
- plates
- BURPS, larger pcs
smaller see thru containers
- minifigs
- labelled pcs
- misc
Rubbermaid large containers consisting of
- all basic bricks--1xN, 2xN, etc.

What you don't see in the pic are the two toolboxes full of technic--
using plano storage units to sort all technic pcs

3033 bins
- monorail track
- monorail supports
- all broken pcs (yes I keep 'em....)

Now I'm using smaller LEGO containers, as well as empty plastic ice cream
containers to sort basic colours into specific sizes when needed--
all red pcs sorted out into 1xN, 2x2, 2x3, 2x4, etc...
some grey pcs sorted out as above--not done yet
as well as sorting out specific coloured plates--red plates, yellow plates
and black plates all sorted out

I'm trying to get it into a cohesive state so I can take a pic of my entire
LEGO collection...
