The Evolution of Lego Sorting (2001)

2 days ago

The evolution of LEGO sorting starts with keeping sets in their original boxes.
As collections grow, sorting transitions from by set to by category, then by color.
Advanced sorting involves separating by type, creating custom categories, and dealing with overflow.
Storage systems evolve from simple bins to complex multi-container setups.
Eventually, some revert to sorting by color after type, with overflow systems for excess pieces.
The process can lead to needing more space and developing strong preferences for storage solutions.
Special sets may be kept separate for easy access, bypassing the main sorting system.
