The Ultimate Lego Sorting System: *Use a bigger storage container with smaller ones in them* 💀

[@renzo260]

I mean, isn’t that with anything that needs to be sorted? 😂

[@zachshows2597]

1 probably have thousands of pieces like 99’000

[@renzo260]

Depends on what pieces you use, but they do hold a lot!

[@happyburger23]

I only sort by type. A red 1x1 brick is easier to find in a lot of 1x1s, and difficult in a sea of other red parts

[@renzo260]

That’s the best way I think! I have a bit of a mix going on right now. Parts that I have a lot of in a specific color will also be sorted by color. Most of it is by category though

[@happyburger23]

@@renzo260When it comes to the 1x1 round studs (not the tiles), I sort those by color in an old Advent calendar tray with all its cubby holes. Same applies to the many types of Technic pins.1x2 red axles in one cubby hole, black friction pins in another one, etc.)

[@renzo260]

Yeah that makes sense for those tiny parts! That’s why I’m working out a 3d printed option that has more space for the smaller bits. It’ll fit the drawers exactly and I can seperate it a lot more

No way the same day you posted this video I went to IKEA in Delft to buy a lot of NIJOG boxes to sort all my Lego. What a coincidence!! Also wanted to say that I love this video, great explaining and great editing work! I can see that you’ve put a lot of work and effort into this video and I love it! ❤️

[@renzo260]

That’s a funny coincidence! And thanks, that means a lot! It took a little over two weeks to put together, mainly because of all the actual sorting I had to do. The sorted pieces you see in the video aren’t even half of what I still need to go through 😂

[@BrunoSantosTDL]

Sometimes the youtube recommendations actually strike gold. Great return to lego videos, really enjoyed the lego city videos too!

[@renzo260]

That’s great to hear! Glad you liked them!

[@Silacide]

I have a ton of Lego and the way I sort it is instead of small drawer units I use larger ones to sort by type and use different sizes of ziplock bags to sort by colour. I ofcourse try to not drop my stuff, but in case I accidentally do drop one of them they don't explode all over the floor and I can just pick it back up. It's, imo, ideal for when you have so much and so much different Lego!

[@renzo260]

That’s smart! Isn’t it a pain to have to open the ziplocks every time though?

[@BRIT_N_BRICKS]

This is exactly how I do it to. Although I go through quite a few ziplock bags lol they suffer after time and do need replacing

[@BRIT_N_BRICKS]

@@renzo260it can be a pain at times

[@AnAvgeek]

I use an arrangement of pieces sorted by color, but then the pieces are further divided within their color into 3 sections: small plates, functioning pieces (like hinges), and the remaining pieces like bricks and stuff. I have other systems for big plates, minifigures, etc. The way you did it is really good, and the way you displayed the pieces in the drawer is GENIUS! I never would be able to come up with a subsystem like that! great video!

[@renzo260]

That sounds good! I'm constantly changing things around, but eventually I'll get to the perfect system haha! Yea it works great, especially since it's an ever growing collection. Perfect way to move everything without losing track of it

[@LEGO626-bi1kg]

Neat! I am building my own version of this out of wood!

[@renzo260]

That’s awesome! Wish I had the time to do this. Definitely share it when you finish, I’m curious!

[@Tykenen]

I agree. This is the best way to sort lego. Since the Alex drawers are too expensive, I recommend buying Form Kontor drawers instead. They are made of plastic but they are durable enough.

[@renzo260]

Great suggestion! I don't have access to those in the Netherlands I think, but there are other alternatives. I do prefer the Alex drawers still since it's Ikea and will probably be around forever. So if I ever need to expand my storage, I can just get the same exact units.

I didn't know about this cabinet yet with their containers, definitely one I will consider. I also really like the idea of putting brick on the front of the drawer. No idea if I will do that, but it's cool for sure.

[@renzo260]

The containers aren't specifically for the Alex units, but they do happen to fit perfectly! And definitely consider the plates on the front, it's super useful!

[@username9774]

Tip about the lost space in the Alex unit: if you don't secure the metal side rails in with the screws to the drawer you can pull them out when you need to and just push it back in all the way.

[@renzo260]

Hmm.. I think I'd be a little scared of them falling out though. I tend to be quite clumsy at times. Or is it secure enough like that?

[@akosgaspar9681]

@@renzo260 No, it isn't. We have a similar Alex we've been using for years (not this wide / shallow model but the narrow / deep variant) and the side rail is VERY sensitive to any force that is not 100% parallel with its movement (which is inevitable if you take the drawers out often). I had to replace 3 or 4 rails so far. The video is actually pretty smart and goes through similar steps I have. Bonus points for the slightly U-shaped bottoms of the trays (it's a pain to take small parts out if they stuck in the corner of a tray that has only right angles). On the other hand, you probably lose a lot of space (20-30%) that is in between the trays. If I played alone, still this would be the way to go. Unfortunately (/sarcasm) I have to share my collection with 2 very enthusiastic but much less organized kids so I stick with bigger trays and a lot of digging for the time being.

[@agiustube]

I use the Alex drawers as well. I stack two units as you did so in total I have 36 drawers. I've been sorting for ages and most of my containers are the trays with the lids but everytime I need a piece I need to take the tray out and open the lid, very impractical. Then I started using the bottoms of cereal packets, it allowed me to recycle the boxes and I can fit quite a considerable amount of compartments in the drawers allowing me to make sorting more granular. It's a work in progress but the best method of sorting for me and many others is using the Alex drawers. I notice Lego uses similar drawers and I agree @TiagoCatarino should get a cut from every Alex drawer Ikea sells as I am sure most people that buy them have Lego collections!

[@renzo260]

That's awesome! I agree the trays can be a pain, the ones I have are just collecting dust at this point. After a couple months of using the Ikea containers as inserts, I'm already working on a redesign. Sorting is one thing, but the storage is always evolving to your needs. I think if Ikea gives him a cut from all the units sold to store Lego, Tiago can go on a permanent vacation to some beach far far away hahaha

[@chris_wizzudz]

The system I plan to use for my collection is one that I _ahem_ “borrowed” from Solid Brix Studios. His involves a bunch of modular shelves from Ikea (IVAR, I think) combined with clear U-Line storage bins. It’s designed with expansion, ease of access, and quick reorganization in mind, which is a huge plus for me.

[@renzo260]

I’ve seen that, also a great option! They are indeed the IVAR shelves. The only thing I would worry about is a lot of dust building up in the bins that hold parts I don’t use a lot, since everything is open. David has a TON of parts though and he builds huge MOCs. A system like that does make a lot of sense for him I think. At the end of the day, it all comes down to personal preference and what works in your situation.

[@Endigo_Vandane]

I also use IVAR shelves, but I have big u-line type bins with lids that have a section that opens up.

[@renzo260]

Oh that’s nice! Keeps everything dust free

[@carmenponcedeleon2693]

Great video, I have been trying to land on the best way to organize my "Lego-bratory" and this was helpful in making some decisions!

[@renzo260]

Awesome, I'm glad it helps!

[@thebrickfamofficial]

Fantastic walk-through of your process. We’re in the same space right now and went with Alex drawers and small similar bins from Target (US). The small ikea bins may be more cost effective!

[@renzo260]

Thank you, really appreciate it! I mostly went for the Ikea bins because it's so widely available to most of the world. But any bins work fine really, as long as you don't loose too much space.

[@RayneRad]

Great video. I had seen that Tiago Catarino used these shelving units but really like the containers you added. I sort by part type but due to space limitations, they are all in 100+ zip lock bags in a tall stack of cardboard boxes. Not a convenient way to store at all. You said you wished they came in black (in one of the comments) but on the Canadian Ikea website they do. The 3 colour options are white, gray-turquoise and black-brown. I think I would still prefer the white if I were to get some, however I would still need to find space for the shelving units themselves first. :)

[@renzo260]

Thanks, appreciate it! That does sound like a bit of a struggle yes 😂 It’s good that you already have everything pre-sorted though. Helps a lot when you do find the space for a better system. The video only showed a small bit of sorting, but I still have a long way to go honestly. Oh really? We have the white, gray-turquoise and light oak I believe. I’m just not a huge fan of white walls and furniture. Will probably be repainting the studio at some point too, this is just how it was when I moved in there

[@BVLbricks]

This video clearly shows my issue currently and yet again these drawers show up. That must be a sign! I do have 3 of the smaller desk version of the alex drawers, they work good but the longer ones are 100% more efficient!

[@renzo260]

Better get sorting then hahah! I have some of the smaller ones as well, but the bigger ones give you a lot more value for the price. I just wish they made a black version, would look a bit nicer I think

[@BVLbricks]

I rather have the white ones, putting diorama's or mocs (specially star wars, white would fit better. I hate having a black desk.. can't find the black pieces for like 10 minutes XD@@renzo260

[@Summer-Kid]

[@BRIT_N_BRICKS]

Great video great editing and great story. I thought you mite go the same route Tiago went lol. He has a great setup. Those tubs fit perfectly to. I would love these storage units myself but as you say they are a bit pricey. So far I am using 2 stacks of 8 plastic draw units that cost me £40 in total lol. But I am running out of draws and I still have a ton of parts to sort. And they have changed the draw unit design now so I can’t stack them. Ahh the problems we endure as Lego builders

[@Krispieman]

This is cool. I also saw Tiago's video on sorting and I've bought the exact same Alex cabinets and Nojig containers. I don't know about yours, but the Ikea near where I live (Ehv) as stopped providing the very big ones (even larger than 20 x 15). Though these did not easily fit in the drawers anyway. As a side note: I'm an English teacher and could not hear that you live in the Netherlands, so well done on your accent.

[@renzo260]

I think they still had some, not sure though. They’re a bit taller, but the bottom three drawers might be able to fit them. Hahah thanks!

[@davidnguyen6823]

Huh, I just started sorting my bricks 2 weeks ago, but didn't have a system. Now I have an idea for it, but I might as well go with your system, and then use my sorting categories for it

[@renzo260]

That’s awesome! Definitely figure out what works the best for you though. I put all my multi colored pieces that I’m less likely to use in the back for example. I tend to go for the black, white, tan and other subtle colors more frequently so those are in the front. Depends mostly on what you like building and what your collection looks like

[@sampoernaquatrain1710]

Thanks for this video! What's the official part count for how many different elements LEGO makes now?

I have boxes of plants, minifigure parts, minifigure accessories, etc., etc...I like this method but we would need a room full of these things!

[@renzo260]

According to Google, there are 3764 unique parts in production right now. If you fill up the alex units with the smallest inserts, you’d need 27 of them to sort every individual part. I don’t know if that takes al the different colors into account 😂 You can definitely combine different elements though. Some parts I just have too little off to give it it’s own dedicated space

I 3D printed my own interlocking bins. After that I made all one drawer one color and than every drawer has the same layout but per color. So all my 1 by 1s are in the same spot just different level to pick the right color. I hav about 150,000 pieces. I used the drawers from the Ikea closet collection and the small pieces are in the little 64 drawer mills.

[@renzo260]

Sounds like a dream! I’m definitely making a second version of these drawers where I 3d print everything! Did you use any existing system for the printed version or did you design it yourself?

[@renzo260]

Welkom! :D

[@XtraDavido]

How did you decide how much of those small boxes to buy?

[@renzo260]

I just did some quick math while at Ikea. You can fit 6 small boxes from left to right. Half of the drawers get 2 rows and half just get one, so that would be 54. Half of them get the medium size for the second row and 3 all the way in the back, so 18. Lastly you can fit 4 of the big ones in the back, with 6 drawers that’s 24. But since I wanted the medium ones there too, it’s 18 instead. And I think I got some extras cause I have a bunch of the smaller ones left

[@ElectricianTS]

I sort the following way; small pieces by type, plates by colour, slopes by colour, bricks by colour, technics complete, wheels, tires, wheel bases complete, windows by type, transparent bricks and plates complete, longest bricks by type, rails complete. I'm currently moving from small container cabinets to transparent plastic bags from the supermarket, kept in big low plastic containers with lids. Small parts, medium grey, dark grey parts are still in the cabinets. I keep dedicated part for my mocs in smaller containers and once I have enough pieces set aside, I start the builds. Every few months, I order the missing parts online, plus a few extra parts. Once every couple of weeks, I re-sort the mixed containers back to where the parts are supposed to be.

[@renzo260]

Do you also subdivide the bricks for example or just keep all the sizes together?

[@ElectricianTS]

@@renzo260 The smaller amounts of coloured bricks, like magenta and the many shades of lighter blue, I simply keep them in their own single bags by colour without dividing by type. I use the long low trays with a small divider on the side from IKEA when I empty out a bag to check for parts. I can also check for parts by simply looking through the bags for parts and taking them out without having to empty the bags.

How many containers can fit in each shelf (How many of each size did you get per shelf)? I’m trying to replicate your system for my collection, but I want to know how many I need to order to maximize my storage. Great vid btw!

[@renzo260]

I actually had someone else ask this before, here's my response on their comment: You can fit 6 small boxes from left to right. Half of the drawers get 2 rows and half just get one, so that would be 54. Half of them get the medium size for the second row and 3 all the way in the back, so 18. Lastly you can fit 4 of the big ones in the back, with 6 drawers that’s 24. But since I wanted the medium ones there too, it’s 18 instead. And I think I got some extras because I have a bunch of the smaller ones left

[@leytonshurtleff5762]

Alr thanks bro

[@cjp1599]

Amazon has $70 Alex knock off drawers...

[@renzo260]

Must be in a different country then, I can't seem to find them on the Dutch website. Would definitely be a good option though!

[@Master-it8eo]

Can you build lego knight castle or review it

[@renzo260]

There go all of my savings, again 😂 I'll see what I can do though, cause it's veeeery expensive hahah

[@Master-it8eo]

@@renzo260 I am also thinking same only. So to get money Into have to sell my LEGO now. But no one will buy. Is it still available. And do you know when it will retire . And if you buy please do review. And where are you from. Sorry for disturbing

[@renzo260]

You should try different platforms and check if there are second hand Lego stores in your are. The castle is still available in the Netherlands, I’ll be sure to review it if I end up getting one!

[@iichubbz8925]

Abit worried now 😂 I'm starting a bricklink store, and you've said you didn't get a order for 6 months 😮 think I should stop well I'm ahead

[@renzo260]

To be fair, I only had my store set my store to the Netherlands cause I hadn’t figured out the tax situation yet. I had a big inventory but looking at what I use for MOCs now, the pieces were pretty random. If you have a good selection you’ll probably sell cause people tend to use the buy all feature a lot. I would just give it a go honestly

[@EveMcWinston]

I‘m a little bit surprised that the same Alex storage costs 30€ more in Germany than in Netherlands.

[@renzo260]

Yea someone commented that before, it's weird! They lowered the prices, but even before that it would've been cheaper 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@legoman1234543]

How did you stick the lego pieces on the alex units?

[@renzo260]

Just with some double sided tape! I don’t know if it’s common, but here it’s known as carpet tape

[@user-rp2tu2mo8v]

where is the old glock tutorial?

[@SimoneChiaretta]

How many pieces you have?

[@renzo260]

I have never actually counted, but if I had to make a guess it’s probably around the 50k ballpark. The Colosseum, Sanctum, Assembly Square and Police station already make up around 19k. Those are all built though, so don’t take up space in my parts collection.

[@ErnieLueders]

Great ideas. Problem here in America is the cabinet is nearly twice the price. :(

[@renzo260]

Wait really? That’s crazy, how is there such a big difference? 🤯

[@renzo260]

Definitely!

[@jordanwolf3239]

How many bricks are in those 2 cabinets?

[@renzo260]

I didn't count, but I bet there's between 30-50k individual pieces at this point

[@coolbeans7349]

im about to pay someone to do this for me IN LEGO lol i have SOOO much its kind of overwhelming

[@renzo260]

Hahah I know what you mean! It can be a LOT of work sorting everything. I tend to do a little bit every time I'm at the studio. It's slow, but I'm getting there

[@joseescobedo7899]

I did buy category 😅😅

[@renzo260]

Category is a great start! I sometimes throw parts that I don't have a lot of in the same container. It can save you quite a bit of space sometimes

[@swampysimpo]

"I don't want to sort this" I DO! I DO!!!!!!!! MEMEMMEMEME!!!! Give me 20 bucks and a whole day and I will be in sorting heaven.

[@renzo260]

I'll give you 21 bucks if you manage to sort all of my Lego in a day 😂

[@swampysimpo]

@@renzo260 I'll take 19.

[@p3terpaul317]

This system seems great and I would like to buy it. I only see on the Ikea website that each drawer can be loaded up to a maximum of 2 kg. If I am going to fill a drawer it will certainly weigh more than 2 kg. How does the drawer hold up when it is subjected to heavier loads? Does anybody have experience with this? Thanks for a response in advance, Peter Paul

[@renzo260]

Hi Peter Paul! I haven't experienced any problems so far and the cabinets have been in use for a couple of months now. I do plan on replacing the flimsy bottoms with some plywood though. I feel like that's a little safer in the long run

It's renzo260, same as on KZbin. But we've closed the store for the foreseeable future due to different priorities

[@entertraining6703]

wait, this only costs 100€ for you? here in Germany on the Ikea website it says 130€

I think so yes. The white ones at least. The other colors are a bit more expensive at €110

is the voice in this video AI? sounds like it

[@computeroid6162]

Great vid but there's no way that this isn't an AI voice 😳

[@renzo260]

Thanks, I appreciate it! It’s actually a clone of my own voice. I explained it in another video but I work on these videos with my friend. He edits most of it and it’s very difficult with our fulltime jobs to get all the needed voice overs sent in time. But as KZbin is getting a bit more serious, we’ll make more time for it and transition to “normal” voice overs. I speak Dutch at home so because that’s a bit different, my mom actually thought it was my real voice the first time she heard it 😂

[@computeroid6162]

@@renzo260That's amazing! I really liked your video, and it's great that you're doing your best to upload as often as possible! I'm not surprised that your mom thought that it was your real voice as it's very realistic and the reason why I caught it is because of the weird tone changes, and because I have some experience working with these more realistic computer generated voices. Sorry for my ramble, keep up the great work and good luck to you as you shift your real voice! 😀

Yea it’s a bit of a struggle, but we’ll get there! Hopefully we can make this a fulltime thing and you won’t have to listen to the slightly weird voice hahaha

It is, the KZbin description even has a disclaimer about it. (I think when uploading a video you now need to tell KZbin if you used AI for the video, then this disclaimer will show up)
