| (...) To clarify, I mean don't sort *only* by color. Putting 6x16 plates in with 1x1 bricks and everything in between, all of one color, makes it a lot harder to find something. It sounds from your description that you yourself sort by size/shape, (...) (24 years ago, 4-Apr-01, to lugnet.storage)

| (...) Odd. I never did the sort-by-color thing, but I wouldn't've guessed this would be a problem-- I don't tend to build models that are all one piece... :) On the other hand, maybe I do. I use 1x4s a lot more often now that they're easier to find, (...) (24 years ago, 4-Apr-01, to lugnet.storage)

| (...) I have a big enough collection to do that, but I've resisted, because when I take apart a model I don't want to have quite so many places to put things. As it is I have only 21 bins in total - though I do use Plano boxes for the little Technic (...) (24 years ago, 4-Apr-01, to lugnet.storage)

| (...) I haven't thought about doing it by size but it is hard to find some pieces when every thing is the same color. One helpful thing is that in some containers I have two colors (red + blue gray + yellow) -Kevin W. (24 years ago, 4-Apr-01, to lugnet.storage)

| (...) I think this will depend slightly on the size of your collection. As my collection has grown, I have gone to sorting by color to sorting by color _and_ size. That way, I don't have to dig through anything! Exceptions are when a piece is scarce (...) (24 years ago, 4-Apr-01, to lugnet.storage)

| (...) If you're going to sort them, DON'T do it by color. It's the most obvious choice, but it's a bad idea. Sort by size and type instead. Think of it this way: Say you want a blue 1x4 brick. Would you rather dig through a pile of blue bricks, or a (...) (24 years ago, 4-Apr-01, to lugnet.starwars, lugnet.space, lugnet.build, lugnet.storage)
