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 for, so I switched to sorting by piece. Sorting was a real
pain...I'd say it took at least two weeks, sorting at least a couple hours
every day. But it was worth it, especially now that I bought good stackable
containers for all my parts. My collection is now organized enough that I
can build in my dorm room with a 40K collection without making a huge mess.
If I were you, I'd sort by piece. That way, you won't have to deal with
switching later.

separated gray, black, and white from the colored plates...so it has already
started....

| (...) 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 (...) (24 years ago, 17-Dec-00, to lugnet.storage)
