The cheapest dividers is to use one of the akro mils dividers that it comes with and use it as a template and use the cardboard flaps off of the akro mils box. It is a little time consuming to cut them but it's free.
Hi, great video, I agree that it's best to start with just bins- however, when you keep the sets waiting to be parted out, what do you do about the fact that their part out value- will decrease if they sit for too long?
I like making bionicle mocs and I don't want to rummage through a large bin full off stuff for an hour just to find the one piece I'm looking for so one of those "acromills" or whatever they're called seems like a good thing to have
The Akro Mils are great! The only downside to them is the cost. It fluctuates a lot and sometimes they are incredibly expensive. They are however, pretty nice cabinets. Thanks for watching!
Thank you Evan. Great video. We have a HUGE LEGO collection and we've been using the Akro Mills storage cabinets for a while. I DO like your store idea about giving each element a draw # as oppose to the element #. Thank you again. Build On.
Bins with ziplock bags is a good starting point as you said. I’m also doing it this way atm. But it gets time consuming pretty fast. I just hit 3900 ziplock bags with 1 to 3 lots each... I‘m a bit jealous of your awesome drawer wall :)
This is probably a dumb question but do you count pieces by hand? Because I have a way more efficient method I’d be glad to share for free to save a LOT of time...
They might get slightly scratched but no more than then being in a bag in an official LEGO box also rubbing around next to other parts. Thanks for watching!
And if you buy parts directly from Lego's Pick a Brick service, they will ship your order with many different bricks all sharing a single plastic bag. Personally, I don't see it as a big issue.
Yes! Definitely too tall. I would highly recommend 4 MAX. Any more and it becomes inconvenient. When we move we are not going any higher than 4, and moving it down to 3 has been a discussion as well.

Nice work with the video, storage is a widely discussed topic and it can never hurt to get more ideas whether a collector or seller
I'd be willing to buy some of those 4way/quad dividers!
Does Rain(sp?) sell those dividers?
Excellent job on this video, love the continent. Definitely helped me envision how I will store my growing Lego collection.
Where can we find those divided trays that you are showing @08:42? I would love to find some.
great video, thanks for the info
Thanks for all the advice, hoping to start store soon.

If anyone has a Menards near them, I highly recommend the tuff store drawer cabinet. Just as durable as akro and half the price.

How do you make the stickers with the numbers of the drawers?
Very helpful thank you so much
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching Jai!

This a very good informative video. Sure it helped a bunch of people
Thanks for this!
Great explanation 👌👌👌
Thank you Paul
Where do you guys get the Akro Mils dividers from? I'm not paying $6 each from my supplier
What is the source for those trays, that T5 divided one? Those are pretty cool.
Can you provide a link to chin paper sourcing for the akro mil dividers?
Hi Paul. That was awesome storage compendium. You are awesome as well. In next Tekken they should use you as a Paul character 3d model.
Are those dividers x4 blue from Rain for sale anywhere?????? Link??
You said that you had instructions priced at 1 cent each and they never sell. Do you keep them in your store just to increase your lot/ part #'s?
Great video! I did my first live stream yesterday! Also, thank you for the shout out on your last stream! I am two subs away from 50!

They have an electronic weight machine to count larger quantities of the same part
I'd like to hear your system
don't the pieces get scrached by doing this ?

With the new insider program bros probably regretting throwing out loads of instructions
👍👍👍👍
5 akro high is pretty tall

Alto miles drawers are now $70😂

We use akro mills ourself. Nice video here.
