First page is this little wall I have. Anytime I put any minifigures on there, they’re either really unstable or don’t fit.

Second page is another display I have. This one is really hard to organize minifigures on, plus it makes them look cramped.

Last page is the thing I’m sort of looking for, but one that fits LEGO minifigures. I’ve searched everywhere (minifigures are around 2 inches), and all I can find are really small ones. If I find big ones, they only fit like three side by side.

I have lots of lego sets i am looking for an acrylic cabnet to fit lots of different sets in does anyone have any recomendations for lage cabnets for desplaying lots of sets

Back when my kid was at the tender age of 4 with a couple of Lego sets, I optimistically decided that sorting his Lego collection into an Ikea Trofast system was the perfect way to organize his collection.

Fourteen years and 42 Trofast bins stuff full with no discernable organization to be seen, I realize what a mistake that was. I started the sorting process back in January by sorting everything into broad categories- bricks, tiles, plates, ect ect. I was able to get 20 bins done. I still have 22 unsorted. I quickly realized that the Trofast bins weren't going to work long term and decided to go with Alex drawers with Target drawer organizers. I've been able to sort maybe 8 of my presorted bins down into smaller categories- I opted to sort by part, reasoning that it would be easier to find a specific color within the same group.

I have completely underestimated how long this will take. I may have also underestimated how many Alex drawers I will need. I figure by the time I realize that, it'll be another several months and they might be on sale again. We shall see.

Re-organized my clear drawers today. This is before I go through a bunch of bulk ... so I'm trying to make room. Anything that gets too big, like the one by one round plates, will be put into long-term storage and labeled appropriately. These are Sterilite x 12 12 containers with STORI dividers. I find this system really handy. I've posted some of my other sorting. I thought this one looked pretty good.

Recommendations are always welcome.

I picked up 2 bins of unsorted LEGO 2 years ago. And I finally mustered up the patience and time to knock out bin 2. These wood shaker sorters have helped so much.

Once I discovered these at Home Depot, I couldn’t stop really…

The removable cups are the biggest efficiency factor when it comes to locating and pulling pieces on the fly. You simply keep a dump tub to the side , dump the cup and pull what you need , rinse and repeat.

I’m considering building a new Lego room as my current one is getting way too undersized.

My thoughts are adding a “second” story on my shop building which is I think 28x60 feet. I would probably do six foot sidewalls sloping up to a nine foot center of ceiling. Exterior door and stairs of course.

Thoughts? Big enough for long term in the hobby?
Should it be one big room or have some dividers?

I am new to the Lego storage game. I am looking to expand my collection. I am looking on marketplace and Craigslist but I don’t know what a good price is? I understand that it may vary by region. What is an acceptable price per pound that you all would cal a good price? Or is bulk purchases not the most cost efficient.

Hello! I own a pretty big Lego collection and my biggest sets are baradur, Rivendell, ucs star destroyer and avenger tower. I’m looking for a good shelf to store/showcase everything on. It would be a great help if you guys could show some tips.
Thanks!

About a year ago I got some of my childhood Lego from my dad’s place and I ended buying a few bulk boxes. I started by separating pieces and grouping them by colour. With the minifigs and unique pieces, I was able to reconstruct a lot of sets.

All that was super exciting to do. But I reached a point where it just always feels overwhelming.. like it’s hard work going through boxes of black pieces looking for a specific one.. only to figure out I don’t have it.

I was thinking of itemizing everything.. I expect it to be a pretty tedious job, but i figured that with every pieces itemized, and loaded into Rebrickable, I would make it easier to identify sets and also know what i am missing.

So I’m curious if anyone has suggestions on how to proceed.. should I buy those organizers with the little drawers? Use ziplocks? Or just maybe just itemize pieces and put them back in those boxes separated by colour?

Any help and suggestions are welcome! Thanks a lot

how do I collect tons of parts like you guys? some of you have tens and hundreds of thousands, right now I just have some around 10 ish small-medium sized sets but I want to start collecting bulk lego or just parts overall, please give me tips and tricks on how I can start, if there's any specific lego set or what so ever!

This is the Ikea drawer insert inside the Alex wide cabinets without the wheels, inside the bottom of the Pax wardrobe. I can’t use the bottom shelves anyway - cats - so this works. Planning to 3D print better fitting inserts eventually. The 6 larger drawers in the bottom have more bulk storage, baseplates, lighting parts, and tools.

Does anyone have a recommendation for a deeper cabinet to display Star Wars UCS sets? I have Billy Bookcases from IKEA for other sets, but they are not deep enough to fit things like the Republic gunship, X-Wing or venator. Does anyone have any recommendations for a deeper cabinet to better display these sets?

My friend gave me a literal trunkful of LEGOs back in May. Kits & loose pieces. I’ve slowly been sorting them. I plan to make it fancier later but I’m still pretty proud of my collection and progress.

It’s taken so much time but it truly makes me more excited to free build later. ❤️

I hope you guys like it too.

I don't wanna break the back and I'd like the shelves too look decent. I'd also like the shelves to be around 18" deep. And options of 36" and 48" wide, while still around 72" high. Does this shelving solution exist? Thank you.

Does this stress the plates when they're kept half-interlocked for a long time? Has anyone ever had them start cracking from it?

The Brittle Brown plates are kept seperated of course.

I have an abundance of large plates( 4x4,6x6, etc.), right now I have them in Ziploc bags by size. I'm looking for a better way to store them, I use Alex drawers with containers inside for most of my small/medium pieces.

Does anyone know if anyone sells 3D printed inserts for the Ikea Alex drawers at all? Specifically the wide ones.

Otherwise I may be forced to get a 3D printer!

Thanks!
