The Reality of Managing a LEGO Collection

[@TMXBrickNotes]

Impressive collection. I like how you have a library of manuals. Glad that making videos also moves you forward accomplishing your inventory goals.

I love Greg’s Lego videos. So much I find em interesting and very soothing and sometimes when he’s building Lego. I build my Lego too I feel like I’m building together with him even knowing I’m by myself in my room alone building Lego I also do a Lego journal of each set I build and I take a photo of it too to feel proud of myself. I’m no artist but Lego helps my major depression disorder it keeps my hands and mind busy but it also takes my to another place clearing my mind I love Lego cos u have instructions to each set and that helps. I carnt create something from my mind too hard but Lego I love. U can have so much conversations doing Lego .

Nice job on getting some more sets put away. No worries on when you build the set I sent you. You are definitely accomplishing your goal of getting the storage room of doom organized. Keep up the awesome work buddy!

[@jameshamaker9321]

the thing i'd like to see is a video of him and Clark building a Lego castle using bricks from the space sets, that would be interesting and entertaining.

Thank you for sharing the most boring of tasks. I've enjoyed watching this whilst doing similar tasks.... parting out for Bricklink. Unbelievably, its now March and this is the first time I've done it this year!

[@clayturtle18]

Thanks Greg. This is exactly the kind of content I subscribed for. Gets me motivated to get Lego collection under control. Gonna be getting something off your eBay store soon.

[@brickitect]

Glad you’re enjoying the videos! I have more sets coming into the store this week so keep checking back.

Greg , is living dangerously, breaking 2 sets down at once. I call my storytime closet ,the shame closet. I love storting videos, they motivate me to clean mine out.

[@brickitect]

The shame closet! I love it. On a very unrelated side note, I saw there are Star Trek little people figures on sale. Thought of you when I saw the deal.

[@unglazeddounut]

I love these videos greg. Behind the sences are great.

[@Legokate]

I love watching your Lego journey especially with your son one day you could make anything you wanted out of Lego. Many people don’t even have. Lego in there homes. Because of circumstances But I find your Lego video s interesting and some times you can learn something off a video as I learn visually. . So Lego is one of those hobbies I love. What I love most is building it then placeing it and then taking it down and not breaking the Lego apart but putting the Lego in a snap lock bag if it fits and storing it in a storage container ..

[@throughjulieseyes]

Hi Greg that's brilliant you've rececyled Lego boxes well done you, I know what you mean you grow an attachment too these things you just can't explain you like your hobbies and like too take pride in them things, that's good man and sending things you no longer need or want in your collection selling it is great too you should be proud of yourself, keep smiling and having fun look forward too your upcoming videos From Julie

[@christianoffenberg5038]

If you break up the set into a little bin you could pour them from the bin to the plastic bag. Might save you some time.

Good Thursday evening!! The eve of another Guy's Day plus mom. :) I am so happy that you are getting the time to do the "Fine" organization. Your collection and room of doom are stellar in their origination...most will never see this level of dedication...but, I admire you are always striving to be next, next level. When you do these type of video with the lego breakdown and organization it is soothing and brings the viewer in...similarly to how Bob Ross captivates an audience. It is great!! I am really looking forward to the VW build. That has the making of a very fun collaboration with the Clark. The box of boxes definitely verifies the debt of you dedication to keeping things in right in the universe. :) Thanks for another fun day in the life of a builder and caretaker of the brand. I hope it is a great Thursday evening!! Have a great NO SCHOOL FRIDAY GUYS DAY!! 🙂

Don't forget to scan the QR codes on the instruction books for the Insiders points!!

[@beth7467]

How satisfying it must feel to get those sets torn down and dealt with. Good job!

[@beth7467]

P.S. Rip off the band-aid and just get those boxes recycled. You'll feel so much better. Trust me.

[@brickitect]

I wish I had the power!

[@michaelrinaldi9168]

if you aren't attached to the spaceman, or have multiple galaxy explorers, the space gwp is prolly worth saving for eBay. maybe wait a few years till white spaceman parts aren't available anymore

[@DisneyMarkUK]

Love this content Greg. It helps me realise I’m not the only person with tonnes of sets, boxes and sets in ziplock bags. Do you ever rebuild your sets? Cheers from the UK.

[@brickitect]

LEGO organizers unite! I never go back honestly. LEGO keeps doing this thing where they keep making awesome sets that I keep buying. I can’t help myself!

[@DisneyMarkUK]

@@brickitectI'm the same, I never rebuild sets, I really should sell some as they're just taking up space. Your Lego space is amazing though, it's huge

[@wvafob]

I Use brickset to keep track of my sets but I have found the the minfig count inaccurate. I noticed if the number of included fig's is listed on the Lego website it'll add them but if they're not no beans. I'm guessing that's where they pools their metadata from.

[@DareDevil0504]

I feel the overwhelmingness of collecting just collecting movies on bluray, I have an alphabetical list on Google Sheets of every movie I own and if I have seen it or if me and my fiancee have seen it then I have them in alphabetical order on my shelf and once I get 1 movie added in like the D'S time I hit Z that one movie I had to make room for can lead to moving 5 or more over time I hit the Z's

[@brickitect]

I feel your pain. At least with collecting discs, they don't take up a ton of space...until you have hundreds of them :) Enjoy your collection

[@DareDevil0504]

​@brickitect well I don't have hundreds I'm at 1623 blurays and almost 3 5 shelf bookshelves with 3 shelves on each set double stacked need to find a better solution til I can afford a bigger place to live

[@infamousKONVICT]

Dangerous breaking two sets down at the same time.. How can you be sure there aren't any Adventure Time parts that ended up in Pop-Up Book pile?? 😱😆

[@brickitect]

The piles shall never meet

[@JJJBricks]

Wait… you thought we were serious? … jk heck yes we love these vids! 🎉

[@Based.moroccan]

What’s the next big set ur building?

[@RobotsHaveTakenOver]

Lego; 75% organizing 25% building

[@brickitect]

That sounds about right! 🤣

[@RobotsHaveTakenOver]

@brickitect sometimes I ask myself why But the child inside me reminds me every time I click that last piece together and sit back and enjoy my build, that it was all worth it.
