Too bad they aren't taller, so you could put large baseplates vertically in them. Note - if you belong to Ebates, or search online, you will find $30off150 coupons, netting you 14 boxes for $123.58 plus tax. Free shipping at that point. That knocks (...) (20 years ago, 23-Jan-05, to lugnet.storage)

What little I have I place in Ziplocs and label "new lt grey, new dk grey, new brown". Of course, I'll be selling most of it off. I tend to sort by part, then by color anyways, so it only adds at most another 3 Ziplocs to a drawer or larger Ziploc. (...) (20 years ago, 23-Jan-05, to lugnet.storage)

(...) Me too! Light grey is light grey. Occasionally a new color piece really stands out so I simply discard it back into the tub and grab for another. My collection is still mainly old, so that procedure works well. The only real problem is my (...) (20 years ago, 22-Jan-05, to lugnet.storage)

(...) I too mix all my greys. Having a mostly technic collection, I don't have much new brown, but it will be mixed in too. I have already built MOCs that mix the greys, and have no problem with it. If I build something that just has to be (...) (20 years ago, 22-Jan-05, to lugnet.storage)

(...) Hi there, good question! I have most of my parts sorted by type and then also by colour for the most common types. I have most of it (what is not kept in the original box, of course) in storage boxes with many (four types: 13, 17, 15-23 or (...) (20 years ago, 22-Jan-05, to lugnet.storage, FTX)

(...) The newer 'Stone' colors tend to have a more obvious blue component, while the older classic shades of gray tend more towards a yellow shift. For the browns, the original shade is the darker of the two. The new shade of brown has more red. I (...) (20 years ago, 22-Jan-05, to lugnet.storage, FTX)

(...) I agree with DkStone<->DkGray and RedBrown<->Brown cases. But I can't make a difference between MdStone and Gray without some serious staring. But I still have them mixed, because I have the parts sorted only by type, I don't have enough space (...) (20 years ago, 22-Jan-05, to lugnet.storage)

Given that the bleys and chocolate brown are here to stay, what is the best way to sort them into a large collection, whilst still maintaining the ability to distinguish light bley from light grey? I currently sort by type, since up to now it has (...) (20 years ago, 22-Jan-05, to lugnet.storage, lugnet.color)
