Hang on to them! I know that this suggestion is against, what I percieve to be, the happy-go-lucky, building's-all-we-care-about attitude that flavours the LUGNET community. I'm not an evil "Collector's Edition" tyrant, I just think that a little (...) (24 years ago, 30-Dec-00, to lugnet.general, lugnet.storage)

For my non-Technic parts I have a simple sorting method. I sort by Brick, Plate, and Mini fig. That's it. All Bricks of different sizes in one place all plates of different sizes in one place and all mini figs & stuff in one place. I don't have too (...) (24 years ago, 28-Dec-00, to lugnet.storage)

Hi Mark, I would have to agree with Bram and recommend sorting by piece. At the beginning of awakening from my "dark Ages' I sorted by color, filled many plano boxes and then discovered finding the right part in all the "black" boxes was tedious at (...) (24 years ago, 17-Dec-00, to lugnet.storage)
