Part of the last few weeks has been stopping at various used brick locations and rummaging through their collections. But because of the work on the display for Brick Days, I never got to sorting and storing this collection. I would occasionally pick parts out that I needed, but that was the extent to which I attacked this problem. The picture above is only part of the total amount I collected, since I also got several bags at Brick Days as these photos show me rummaging through the brick piles.
Here I have reduced the pile to different containers. A large portion of the bulk bricks was Technic bricks, which I have already put away.
We are basically down to the end here. Lots of single pieces that I have to remember where they go. Dont want multiple pieces of the same piece in multiple locations.
At Brick Days I answered this basic question multiple times and I have said it before, but it bears repeating. Of my Lego time, I spend at least 20% of it sorting and storing bricks. This is either from bulk purchases and from the occasional cleanup I do while building. My basic philosophy is this, if I have the brick and can't find it, then I really don't have the brick.
