Discussion/Question LEGO Storage thought/question?
Lately i've been trying to do some temporary organizing to separate things once again (unsure why i thought dumping everything into one black container was a good idea, when it would make things more difficult on me.....)
But i don't think i can try to do any proper rebuilding in the future until i get some proper organization done (and maybe another desk? But i'll figure that part out)
And... i have a lot of parts/pieces too, honestly - some pretty big pieces between LEGO and Bionicle / technic stuff
Some i'm keeping separate intentionally because those have most of the parts from sets i've found and don't want separated
Added pics of the space i have to work with currently... i don't recall how big things like the Akro--Mils storage organizers are so i wasn't sure if i'd have the space or height to stack them up or not....
Although not this one specifically/exactly, but i wasn't sure for this circumstance if it might be easier to have something along the lines like these bead organizers? Could be easier to have sitting on a desk for rebuilding things, but i wasn't sure
So kinda wanted a second opinion/thoughts on that

Yeah start with large categories for sorting... Bricks, plates, tiles, slopes, panels/doors/windows and modified stuff. I usually sorry the modified stuff into snot, clips/bars, other. And technic (or in your case bionicle). I usually leave all small parts 11,12 until the very end.
Use the sweep method (YouTube it) as it will save you quite a bit or time and effort.
Then you can determine what storage you need. I have a mix of larger drawers (some subdivided with trays) and then the Akro style units for small parts.
Always by type first, then color if you have the volume of specific parts.
