Actually, I have thought about using the sort-by-original-set method, since
getting all the new SW sets. Before that, I used to sort by color, but with all
the older space sets I have, I have two big drawers for black pieces. I had
white pieces in another drawer. I also divided red, blue, light gray, dk gray,
transparent (of any color) and minifigs (and accessories) into seperate
drawers. This left one drawer for any of the colors that I had only a handfull
of pieces for (i.e. tan, green, yellow, brown) but obviously, since the SW
sets, there are a lot more of these colors. So, any suggestions? How does
everyone sort their pieces?
