 | | How do you sort your legos? —Mark Papenfuss

| | | 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 (...)

| | | | | (...) 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)

| | | | | (...) 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 (...)

| | | | | | (...) 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)

| | | | | | | 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 (...)

| | | | | | | | Thanks for the ideas! I am very new to this site, it is nice to get informative responses so quickly. I have been sorting by piece, as of now they all fit in bags. I would say I have close to 3,000 legos. BUT, come christmas it will almost double!! (...) (24 years ago, 17-Dec-00, to lugnet.storage)

| | | | | | (...) (as a little bit of a note, I am up to ~147K, and have only just started to sort by both piece and colour. The only pieces I have sorted by both piece and colour right now are 1x4's in primary colours (not black, because nearly all my black (...) (24 years ago, 17-Dec-00, to lugnet.storage)

| | | | | | (...) I think it can really depend on type of collection when you start sorting by piece and color. I'm pretty sure I started way before I had 100k pieces sorted. According to my Excel spreadsheet, I'm up to 247k pcs in my collection, which is (...) (24 years ago, 17-Dec-00, to lugnet.storage)

| | | | (...) I personally sort by part. I currently have well over 100,000 parts and wouldn't be able to find parts if I just through all of one color together. I keep my basic, primary color, bricks in tubs sorted by size. A few sizes are going to be (...) (24 years ago, 17-Dec-00, to lugnet.storage)
