| (...) If the bags are well-organized, leaving pieces in the bags is just a way of pre-sorting everything. My least favorite approach to building is to make a big pile of pieces, and go for it. Occasionally, I'll dump everything, and then sort it (...) (26 years ago, 19-Mar-99, to lugnet.starwars, lugnet.general)
