actually, I store my figs in a slightly different way than you, but in
almost the exact same categories or sorting methods.  The only way we differ
is that I use a 40 bin parts case from target instead of baggies for all the
accessories.  Each type of accessory gets a tray (ie all optical devices:
cameras, binoculars, magnifying glasses, etc go together).  The heads,
torsos, Legs, and head coverings each have their own 12 gallon box, and I
put all the wigs in a baggie and store then with the head coverings.

I was putting some custom figs together last night, and the only thing I can
think of that would improve it would be to find a way to sort the torsos out
better.  I have thought of sorting them by base color or by theme, but
either way has limitations so I have waited to do it.

I've seen people sort theirs by taking their heads off, then by
color/theme... i just can't do that though, yet :)

what way do you want to improve your sorting?

I find the whole tub full of bags full of accessories to be a but
cumbersome... i was thinking of perhaps separating townie
helmets/figs/hair/accessories into a tub for easy transport to a
display/show... since it's unlikely i'll need a harpoon or a magic wand,
or a giant halberd at a train show - but i'm not sure that's really the
best way to do it.

plus, sorting accessories in a huge pain - i've got a bucket full of
unsorted accessories i'm slowly going through now - it's what's pressing
the issue.

(...) One of the reasons I can't figure out how to seperate them is because I use torsos and heads from different themes all at one time. If I seperated them I'd be searching lots of different places just to put one fig together. (...) yeah, making (...) (23 years ago, 6-Aug-01, to lugnet.storage)
