   Discussion by oceanangel · April 2014 · Home› Everything else LEGO

   I was wondering if anyone can give me advice please.

   Costly not just in terms of money but also time. Sorting pieces and putting them away is really a never-ending task, from my experience. Any time a certain type of piece outgrows its container you have to come up with a new sorting strategy, which might mean moving OTHER pieces around and finding new places for THEM....…

   I don't have a very large collection of extras, but what I do have I've sorted into five, quart-sized Ziploc bags (with the itty bits secured inside smaller bags to keep them separate from their larger siblings.) -Bricks -Plates -Slopes, Tiles, & Wedges -Technic -Minifigs/Other Everyone's piece count will be different, I'm…
