This was quite cool. Seems to be a pretty accurate description of the average LEGO-phile. I'm currently sorted by piece type (all 1x2s together), with pieces that I either don't have enough of and sort of seem congruous kept together ("plants", (...) (24 years ago, 8-Jan-01, to lugnet.storage)

(...) My evolution was: 1. sorting by size, I forget what I did with the non-bricks 2. sorting bricks by size and color, same color grouped together, still not sure how other parts were sorted 3. realized it's a pain to find the bag of yellow 1x2s (...) (24 years ago, 7-Jan-01, to lugnet.storage)
