(...) I used to sort by color. But it was really hard to find pieces, especially the very little ones. When my collection got to about 30-35K pieces, I got sick of having to dump all the pieces on the floor in order to find the part I was looking (...) (24 years ago, 17-Dec-00, to lugnet.storage)

(...) Until recently, I didn't. But I'm currently attempting to sort by colour. Yellow, red, blue, white, light grey and black each get their own tub, and the newer, less common colours like brown, green, and tan are probably going to stay mixed (...) (24 years ago, 17-Dec-00, to lugnet.storage)

(...) I've learned to be flexible. My collection is in a fast growth period, so I change sorting politics regularly. What I mostly do is to sort by type, and if I get too many of one type I sort them by color too, e.g. all the black 1X4 plates in (...) (24 years ago, 17-Dec-00, to lugnet.storage)

Ok, Here is my problem - Do I sort by color or by peice? I see good points and bad points for both. I can imagine how hard it will be to look for a 1x3 blue brick in a big bag ao blue bricks, AHHHH! But, it will be hard to tell how many of one color (...) (24 years ago, 17-Dec-00, to lugnet.storage)

(...) Or send them to me as a real gift -- if they're the smallish US$6 or US$8 size boxes. I can use them for shipping stuff. --Todd (24 years ago, 16-Dec-00, to lugnet.general, lugnet.storage)

I keep them and have since the mid-early days of my collection...before that I threw them out. I store them in the large space beneath my bed, though the idea of putting smaller boxes in bigger ones never occurred to me...what a moron I can be (...)

(...) I must say from my own experience that having your LEGO neatly sorted really does make building much easier. I have about 80% of my collection stored in clear plastic Akro Mils drawer units, sorted by both shape and color. (Wal-Mart recently (...) (24 years ago, 15-Dec-00, to lugnet.general, lugnet.storage)

(...) I used to chop them up! I'd keep the front cover and the back cover and that was it. Then, when I was about 16 or so I found them (they were all stacked under my bed in one complete box, one of the police boats that floated, and I tossed them (...)

(...) The only boxes I currently have intact are from "my favorites", ones I could not bear to cut down because they had been my prize finds (6090, 6973, 6982, and 6286-etc.). The rest get folded flat or cut into backs and fronts, depending on (...) (24 years ago, 15-Dec-00, to lugnet.general, lugnet.storage)
