  • How to sort LEGO like a pro?
    In this video, we'll be taking a look at my LEGO storage system and how I sort my pieces for maximum efficiency.
    You'll see how I use different containers and organizers to keep my LEGO collection in order, and how I categorize my pieces by type, color, and size. We'll also go over some tips and tricks for keeping your LEGO pieces organized and easy to find, so you can spend more time building and less time searching for the right piece.
    Whether you're a LEGO enthusiast or just looking for some organization inspiration, this video has something for everyone. So sit back, relax, and let's get organized!

    I sort by part category for important pieces (brackets, clips, hinges, modified bricks, etc.). the rest is sorted by color. that is a lazy system that works and does not require hours of sorting. This allows me to easily build MOCs in a predefined color scheme

    • @CubeBrick
      @CubeBrick  Рік тому +2

      I tried that in the begining but doesn't work for me at all. Too much time spent looking for one piece. I rather sort it once after disassembling then do do it each time I sit to build. 😉 But whatever works for you mate.

    Hi Cube Brick,
    verry nice roomtour.
    I also sort my bricks by parts.
    Now i‘m looking for a good system, so that i can build quick.
    The system from chowaj looks verry nice and i like to by it.
    But one email later, they told me that they only ship in Poland.
    It's a pity for everyone who doesn't live in Poland, because it's a really good system.
    Now i wait for your next videos about your new moc.
    Keep on brickin‘
    and greetings from Germany.

    • @CubeBrick
      @CubeBrick  Рік тому +1

      Thank you. Were you not able to convince him to ship to Germany? That's not that far. But good luck in searching for a good system. And as for the next episode, I'm still making the rockwork, but the vid should be out next week. Just need to push it more 😅

    I think when it comes to Lego I'm more like a 6-year-old and I probably should start sorting by color... I'm not going to be building complicated MOCs anytime soon and I don't have the space for that complicated giant storage system. I have been sorting by type but it's been a huge pain in the butt because I have so many containers! I think if I were to sort by color and then just break it down into very simple categories (small/medium/large?) from there it would probably be the best solution...

    • @CubeBrick
      @CubeBrick  8 місяців тому +1

      Yeah space is a crucial part here. But you can sort by type families and color. For example brown plates x1 separated from x2 x4 etc. As long as it fits your building style. 😉

    • @CubeBrick
      @CubeBrick  Рік тому +1

      Whatever works for you. If you have sorted by color, you can now easly separate different types within that color (for example plates, bricks etc serepately). That way, you will have not only seperated by color but roughly by type. 😉
