Yeah, that's often what I do for large sets. I won't quite *sort* the pieces
so much as empty out the bags into seperate piles. And since all the X
pieces in Y color come in a single bag (usually), it saves actually having
to *really* sort the pieces, and still gets them mildly organized. For the
RBR I had an entire box dedicated to the baggies that contained the engine
parts...
