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 best. I am currently resorting to type of pieces and it makes it
much easier to find a certain type or brick located in the "type of piece" box
rather than shuffling through all my black brick boxes for a certain type of
brick.

| 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)
