As someone who tried to sort many lego sets lately, I do like this. The problem lies that modern lego has so many unique forms that it feels like you'll have many bins with one or two pieces in.

As the “Disturbing the Piece” podcast points out - you “sort” the good important parts you want easy access to and you “bin” everything else in the giant box you can dig through if needed.

That's why you buy different sized bins, and then you can even combine some forms into one bin (but be careful not to combine similiar forms, this counters the goal).

You need to get some bins that have a top shelf like a toolbox. The low item counts go in the top shelf, segregate the bottom for efficiency. Bin by color.

I love that we are ignoring Git and taking Legos.

Anyone have a solution for another annoying problem: 1 missing piece.

Somehow got lost halfway through the build.

If you know the ID, I think you can get Lego ship it to you.

It’s always under the most annoying thing to move or get to. Under table legs, couches, etc.

Also, Lego will send you any missing pieces for free.

Thank you!

Just keep those in a single bin
