It's been a while since I've shared my progress with Brickset readers, but I thought that the most recent update to my LEGO Brick Labels collection might be of interest for a few reasons...

What's New in this update:

1. I'm excited to announce that this update adds 76 new labels, so the collection has surpassed 1500 unique labels for the first time...
   This includes labels for the top 1000 Most Common Current LEGO parts.
   
   
2. I'm also confident that there are plenty of Classic 1980's LEGO fans out there... That's why my most recent update includes labels for the top 150 most common parts from that decade.
   Hop in your Delorean to revisit the decade of greed in my related article highlighting the Most Common LEGO Parts & Colors — 1980’s Edition.

As always, I'm eager to learn about how you use these labels or other labeling methods to organize, sort, and store your LEGO Collection... Leave a comment below!

Sincerely,
—Tom Alphin

I've been using your labels for several years on Akro Mills and Aldi storage drawers for small parts, looking forward to downloading the update and setting up some more drawers. Thank you for the labels!

Like others, I use Akro Mills with your labels.  It always provokes questions when I'm on a conference call with my video on.

It's another way to share the hobby with others, so I'm very appreciative of all the work that goes into making the labels.  Thank you Tom!

I'm a huge fan of these labels, and I enjoy your blog as well- keep up the good work!

With my new house plans coming along and a confirmed dedicated office/LEGO room, I can finally start considering my storage solutions. I definitely plan on these labels being an integral part of that system!

Thank you for your continued work to better the LEGO community!

I realize now that I'm going to have to buy a new label printer when I finally decide to start getting all the drawer units and organizing the bulk properly.

I absolutely love these labels.  Now having said that, I haven't actually printed the labels - yet.  My organization and system doesn't lend itself to the labels - yet.  However, I find the contact sheet indispensable.  It is my go-to guide for sorting my bricks.  I start with Tom's categories and combine or break apart as it fits my collection/needs.  Don't know what I'd do without it.

The rare moment of frustration for me sorting is when it's a part that isn't clear to me in what category I should sort it into when I can't find it in the contact sheet.  Where should I put it so I'd actually find it again later?  I have to resort to searching Brickset/Bricklink to figure out what category I should put it in.  So it's awesome to see the numbers of labels growing.

One question I haven't been able to figure out.  Has Tom removed labels in the past?  In particular retired labels?  I believe last version, V37 was the first one to put "retired" labels at the back of the contact sheet by themselves.  I'm glad they are there so as I sort I can figure out where it belongs even if it's retired.  Hope that continues.  Once a label is created, why not keep it in there.

Great job Tom!

Nothing has been removed over the years (unless a few minor parts were removed in the first year or so).  I am planning to continue maintaining the "retired" folder so people who have been collecting for a very long time have labels for those older parts, too.

Thanks a lot for your hard work.  I don’t know what shape my collection would be in without your labels

Just downloaded pdf & it looks great.  I was wondering was the last line of the 1st section on page 1,  BASIC - Brick supposed to be here?  You have it listed in the plate section as well in a different format.
