The Best Way to Organize LEGO Bricks!

[@BenjBuilds]

Thanks so much for watching!

[@winterrain1947]

Good points. Very important to me is finding the right balance between the difficulty of putting stuff back, vs being able to quickly finding the part you want. Having TOO many categories is just as detrimental to your fun as having too few.

[@BenjBuilds]

Very true. Some of that is coming up with a system that makes sense to you and your own brain lol Thanks for watching!

She is a hero! Walking with bare feet in a room full of Lego😄

[@BenjBuilds]

😂😂 I picked a good one for sure!

[@NisseHult101]

I agree that sorting into broader categories first and only later sorting into more specialized categories (or color) makes a lot of sense, that's what I also try to do with my Lego collection!

[@BenjBuilds]

Nice! Its helped me so much… Thanks for watching!

[@Ybloc23]

this is really useful more people need to see this!

[@BenjBuilds]

Thanks! Spread it around!

[@LodanSD]

Honestly Organizing is going to be different for every person depending on the types of sets you get. You may end up with a ton of one piece type, but like 1-3 of others, so just devoting an entire slot to 3 pieces would be a waste. However, it also depends on the types of MOC Building you're into. For small parts, I would suggest looking into Jewelry/Bead Organizers though, just decide if you want Desk Organizers or Case Styles that can be stowed in a Cabinet for those small parts. Also don't be afraid to lookup some Cabinetry videos online, and build a cabinet yourself, since you might already have a builder's mindset...

This is such a great video, espically showing how u can build off of what you have and giving so many great tips!!

[@BenjBuilds]

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@J_Vandy21]

Great video👍 I learnt a lot from the points that you made and it is good that you include options for everyone because my Lego collection is not quite big enough for the small compartments and too big for big categories. So I used the 9 categories first and sorted that into some other categories of my own. Thanks

[@BenjBuilds]

Wow! Glad it was helpful! Thanks so much for watching

[@Sadler_bricks]

This is for sure a unique and creative way I think we all have uses for the drawers I know I have over the years anyways nice video Sadler_Bricks

[@August222]

So good to see there are other Ziplock enthusiasts out there.

[@BenjBuilds]

You’re not alone! Lol

[@ConnerCMC]

Truly great advice! Thank you!

[@BenjBuilds]

You’re welcome! Glad you think so

[@charlessilver9419]

Can you make a video concentrating on the shelves you use for your parts trays. I like it

[@BenjBuilds]

I did film a lot of that build process. I’ll see what I can do. Thanks for watching!

[@gferrol118]

I haven't got a huge amount of pieces, so I've got 16 tiny boxes which are sorted by colour for the small pieces, and anything larger than a 2x2 all gets put in 1 container

[@TheRealShadowCapo]

We ended up with similar broad categories! Definitely in agreement with you. Nice job on the last step shelves!

[@BenjBuilds]

I like to think my categories make sense lol glad I'm not alone. Thanks for watching!

[@hej2iscool]

Just started with lego again, and got my first pick a brick order, i have found out i actually enjoy sorting it xD

[@kechan341]

My first sort was by general color, I quickly needed to separate the blacks from the dark and light grays... and I recently found another box of unsorted legos. I don't have enough bins! Great video!

[@BenjBuilds]

You can always use bags haha thanks!

[@TylerBanister-qy2hd]

Idk how you only have 855 subs!

[@BenjBuilds]

Who knows, KZbin is a strange place lol glad you like the channel!

[@That1StarWarsKid]

I don't know either

[@BrickBoyzLego]

I sort my bulk Lego by type. Love the video I subscribed

[@BenjBuilds]

Very nice. Thanks for watching and subscribing!

[@SirPlagueis]

Quite humorous! 😂

[@That1StarWarsKid]

Thanks so much for the advice

[@BenjBuilds]

No problem! Thanks for watching!

[@jossdeiboss]

Great video. I also have bigger drawers, where I have ziplock bags with the different type of bricks. And then the gigantic bag with all the stuff I cannot decide where they should go.

[@BenjBuilds]

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it. And nice! Great minds think alike

[@king_cookie7339]

amazing video! the editing is awesome and you as well! keep it up!

[@BenjBuilds]

Thanks!

[@PugTheIrishLug]

as someone with more than a million bricks, this is boutta take a decade

[@BenjBuilds]

Lol I feel that. I’m working on a way to speed up the process for my next video

Pshhh I never left lol how ya been?

[@republicclones9009]

@@BenjBuilds Good man! How about you?

[@BenjBuilds]

@@republicclones9009 Glad to hear it! I'm doing good as well

[@soppysteaks4397]

Great ideas!

[@BenjBuilds]

Thonks

[@elementbane]

@benjbuilds could you send a link to the large white wooden 'akro mills-type' shelf? Ive never seen it before, looks super handy!

[@BenjBuilds]

I actually designed and built them myself just using wood from the hardware store. They are super handy and I’m glad you like them! Thanks for watching!

[@elementbane]

@@BenjBuilds thanks! I'm moving into selling parts from primarily sets and i'm not finding affordable organizers. My concern with the DIY approach is having drawer 'stoppers', 'separators' and handles, as convenience and efficiency is key. Do you miss having these?

[@BenjBuilds]

@@elementbane I can't imagine it would be too difficult to add those features to my setup, but I haven't felt the need to. Works great for me so far!

[@511.Maximus]

Bruh... why is the Millennium Falcon from 2012 disassembled?

[@BenjBuilds]

Lol its more incomplete than disassembled

[@glup128]

This wouldve been great when i started sorting

[@joshmcleod9951]

solid

[@BenjBuilds]

thanks

[@remy17.82]

Definitely in the minority here with 100k + loose bulk sorted all into color first lol.

[@BenjBuilds]

Dang! Has it been difficult finding pieces?

[@georgegebert6632]

Limited power 😞

[@BenjBuilds]

Me…

[@samoverla4398]

Can you sort mine now

[@BenjBuilds]

Hahahahahaha…… no
