I hate to be completely A.R., but what does everyone think is the better
storage
method: attached or loose?  Do attached bricks get used to being
attached and loose
their "snap"?  Do loose bricks get scratched faster than attached
bricks?

   I just started experimenting with a somewhat different way of storing
bulk Lego pieces, and I was wondering if anyone out there has any experience
with this -- connect bulk pieces together into larger "slugs" when storing
in bins.

   For example, take a bin of 2x4 bricks.  Start making little towers (say,
5 bricks high) of a single color per stack.  Then stack (or toss) the slugs
in your ordinary storage tub.  Depending on the container I usually have to
try a few different slug sizes to get good utilization of my storage space,
and sometimes it helps to mix-n-match slug sizes to fit a particular drawer.

I have a box into which fits perfectly columns of 2x4's, 25
bricks high, two to a level. Also, 1x4's, same height.

(...) Loose. I like stacked, but because of cracking I'm convinced loose is the proper way to store them. Mark (25 years ago, 4-Sep-99, to lugnet.storage)
