Since i dont wanna spend a half my paycheck to store my inventory, i' m making my own from scratch. It will take some time but hopefully i will manage to finish before opening my bricklink store next year.

How am i doing, any tips ?

I have this 115L tub of lego i purchased years ago and would love to sort/have organized. There are a lot of off brand pieces I would like to split out as well.

If anyone has any tips or suggestions on how to start out I would really appreciate it, it seems so overwhelming

I bought too many bulk lego and i am backup 😂 its a good problem to have but unfortunately i need to organize and sort all of these before i can buy more … anybody in quebec , canada willing to blitz this with me ? 😅 i know its not the worst problem to have and i am soon going on parternity leave for a few weeks so i should be able to smash alot of this but i just wanna buy more and need to finish this first before or my wife will kill me 😂 wish me luck i gotta get trough it

Essentially, I need to downsize for a bit and I absolutely do not want to get rid of the sets, but I don't have the option to store them if they're built, or even taken apart into smaller chunks. Many of them were built 3-4 years ago at this point, and I'd prefer to fully disassemble them so I can rebuild in the future. (Luckily, I have adhd and crappy memory due to it, so rebuilding them will essentially feel like the first time again 😂)

Assuming that I could find the build instructions online, I am rather concerned and clueless about how I could disassemble and store them similar to how they are organized and packaged originally. I don't think it would be practical to just have one big massive bag to sift through when it comes time to rebuild.

Any advice? Would I be able to find out how the sets were packaged to follow the instruction booklet? Or is there any other way ways to go about this? Orrrr am I kinda SOL and asking for too much here 😅

Hi, anyone in England know where I can get good see-through plastic containers with dividers for my minifigures? Everywhere I go seems to have them way too small

I’ve been sorting by piece, upgrading to larger Akro-Mills containers as I fill each piece type. I now have too many 1x4, 2x4 and 2x6 plates that each bin is completely full. What is everyone’s recommendations for organizing now that I have hit that point?

I have multiple 18 gallon totes of assorted LEGO I've acquired/been gifted over the years. No design sets, just buckets of random bricks and need project ideas(s). Maybe flood coat them with epoxy for game table legs or something?

First page is this little wall I have. Anytime I put any minifigures on there, they’re either really unstable or don’t fit.

Second page is another display I have. This one is really hard to organize minifigures on, plus it makes them look cramped.

Last page is the thing I’m sort of looking for, but one that fits LEGO minifigures. I’ve searched everywhere (minifigures are around 2 inches), and all I can find are really small ones. If I find big ones, they only fit like three side by side.

I have lots of lego sets i am looking for an acrylic cabnet to fit lots of different sets in does anyone have any recomendations for lage cabnets for desplaying lots of sets

Back when my kid was at the tender age of 4 with a couple of Lego sets, I optimistically decided that sorting his Lego collection into an Ikea Trofast system was the perfect way to organize his collection.

Fourteen years and 42 Trofast bins stuff full with no discernable organization to be seen, I realize what a mistake that was. I started the sorting process back in January by sorting everything into broad categories- bricks, tiles, plates, ect ect. I was able to get 20 bins done. I still have 22 unsorted. I quickly realized that the Trofast bins weren't going to work long term and decided to go with Alex drawers with Target drawer organizers. I've been able to sort maybe 8 of my presorted bins down into smaller categories- I opted to sort by part, reasoning that it would be easier to find a specific color within the same group.

I have completely underestimated how long this will take. I may have also underestimated how many Alex drawers I will need. I figure by the time I realize that, it'll be another several months and they might be on sale again. We shall see.

Re-organized my clear drawers today. This is before I go through a bunch of bulk ... so I'm trying to make room. Anything that gets too big, like the one by one round plates, will be put into long-term storage and labeled appropriately. These are Sterilite x 12 12 containers with STORI dividers. I find this system really handy. I've posted some of my other sorting. I thought this one looked pretty good.

Recommendations are always welcome.

I picked up 2 bins of unsorted LEGO 2 years ago. And I finally mustered up the patience and time to knock out bin 2. These wood shaker sorters have helped so much.

Once I discovered these at Home Depot, I couldn’t stop really…

The removable cups are the biggest efficiency factor when it comes to locating and pulling pieces on the fly. You simply keep a dump tub to the side , dump the cup and pull what you need , rinse and repeat.

I’m considering building a new Lego room as my current one is getting way too undersized.

My thoughts are adding a “second” story on my shop building which is I think 28x60 feet. I would probably do six foot sidewalls sloping up to a nine foot center of ceiling. Exterior door and stairs of course.

Thoughts? Big enough for long term in the hobby?
Should it be one big room or have some dividers?

I am new to the Lego storage game. I am looking to expand my collection. I am looking on marketplace and Craigslist but I don’t know what a good price is? I understand that it may vary by region. What is an acceptable price per pound that you all would cal a good price? Or is bulk purchases not the most cost efficient.

Hello! I own a pretty big Lego collection and my biggest sets are baradur, Rivendell, ucs star destroyer and avenger tower. I’m looking for a good shelf to store/showcase everything on. It would be a great help if you guys could show some tips.
Thanks!

About a year ago I got some of my childhood Lego from my dad’s place and I ended buying a few bulk boxes. I started by separating pieces and grouping them by colour. With the minifigs and unique pieces, I was able to reconstruct a lot of sets.

All that was super exciting to do. But I reached a point where it just always feels overwhelming.. like it’s hard work going through boxes of black pieces looking for a specific one.. only to figure out I don’t have it.

I was thinking of itemizing everything.. I expect it to be a pretty tedious job, but i figured that with every pieces itemized, and loaded into Rebrickable, I would make it easier to identify sets and also know what i am missing.

So I’m curious if anyone has suggestions on how to proceed.. should I buy those organizers with the little drawers? Use ziplocks? Or just maybe just itemize pieces and put them back in those boxes separated by colour?

Any help and suggestions are welcome! Thanks a lot
