Please make a buying list so we can see where to get and what to get these containers and drawers!

My 10 year old daughter and I sorted her parts into 3 sets of 10 craft drawers over the last six months. She has probably 40 lbs of Lego- mostly Friends and Disney playsets, but also my childhood pirate and castle Lego and a huge bin of assorted Lego from the thrift store. We’ve been using online instructions to build “official sets” using our existing parts including the cat hotel and a cool house. I’ve been building various birds. Sorting was soooo worthwhile. We started with a color sort but switched to a piece type sort- inspired by your videos. Definitely hire someone to help with the sorting, but film them in Timelapse. It’s strangely meditative.

New part setup looks awesome, Jordan! Great job! I do the same thing where I put a project like this off for a while and then just tackle it all at once. It always feels so rewarding once you're done!

It feels so good when sorting is done. Don’t apologize for not wanting to do the sorting. It’s good to know that you are human like the rest of us mortals 😂 !

I have been working on sorting my bricks. So watching videos like this helps.

where did you buy drawers and plastic containers . they look good like that

Great video man! Glad to see you got it done! Also no need to apologize at the end, you are human and some days it’s okay not to want to do something, you got a lot going on man. Keep pushing through, love your channel! 🙏

You are such a good human! Always so positive! You don't have to apologize, we're all human Jordan!

What brand and size drawers do you have for that setup?

Great to see you made some real progress! This seems a lot more ergonomic to work with. I just finished sorting my collection myself after probably a month of intermittent work. ~10 akro mils organizers (+bagged bulk) and probably 20,000 - 22,000 parts. Still a ton of stuff in bulk mix, but those parts are all easy to find.

Don’t apologise for not wanting to do sorting, you have a lot going on.😊

So fun looking into how you’re sorting. It’s also fun seeing how different peoples part collections are depending on which style of building that they like to do.

I had a pick a brick haul yesterday at Bricks and Minifigs, and I scored some treasure. I found two throwbot masks from 1998, a throwbot head, Bionicle bits, a chrome silver brick, and a green pipe from Lego Mario. I also found a complete Lego guy in the pick a brick. I told the manager about the Lego guy, but he told me to go ahead and throw it in my pick a brick bag since I found it fair and square

Hey Bricksie Maybe create a spreadsheet listing all drawers with what parts are inside

Oh man I just love your sorting videos, of your storage. Just looks so good. When I get to that stage (I am needing some more storage right now but I'm fine for now) I want to do it like this I just makes sense. With those bins and little containers in them. With me getting my first pab order this past month it definitely won't be my last. I sorted my bulk plastic containers of 2×2, 2x3, 2x4 from the mixed in mega blocks today so it's just lego in them to then put the parts I had in my small drawer unit in them. So much better

Just found this channel because I bought a used 60051 train looking for ideas. Then I saw your city and was blown away!! Awesome videos, channel and you do a great job on YT. I have some large bins full of legos and there’s absolutely zero sorting done. This really inspires me. Thanks so much!

Wow amazing like this! Such an improvement and it indeed makes the step to sorting the bulk easier now that you know all the categories you have and where you have additional space to put things.

Love it mate! It takes a lot to want to sort parts and then actually do it. You’re always looking to make improvements to make your LEGO building more effective and efficient- that can only be a good thing

No need to apologize. Like seeing the real emotion. Makes you look human. We all have days likethat. Keep up the great work.

Love the new system! I’ve been sorting mine the last few days too! So satisfying to see all the parts together 🙏🙏

I have tons of bins full of lego i just have not had a chance to sort them yet one day when i need them for future mocs i will sort them. you have gave me some inspiration for when i do sort my pieces

That plane shaking near the end was nerve-racking! Glad it stayed on the top shelf, though.

Being able to have the space to sort by type AND color is the absolute goat way of doing it

FTS!! (Fix the System)

awesome video jordan the new parting system looks amazing great job

Great job sorting. It is an ongoing thing to keep things in order. It looks great and will be better once you're completely done.

I find it interesting how people created their own systems of Lego sorting/ organization of parts. I have experimented over the last few years with our collection. My thoughts on Lego organization is simple. There is no right way. My advice is create a system for yourself based on how you build. I personally sort by part type. I find it easy to pull a bin and dump it on sorting tray to find the color I need. I think it is best to consider the time vs value of your system. The more sort down, the more time, space, and bins are required. I like to have broad categories and then sub categories. Example....plates, brick, slopes, etc. The sort by size. Lastly as your bins fill up break out your dominant colors and create a larger overflow bin. When I sort bulk lots, I can do it quickly by using general categories. I then put each category away easily because it is all stored in one section. I use the KISS method. It works great for me.

Loved the video. The part set up looks great.

Has his own pick a brick at his house

NICE! allot more organized.. Its daunting but when accomplished it's fantastic...It has inspired me to tackle my loose parts and get it squared away!

Bricksie I have an idea for you. With the extra parts from the 501st battle packs you should make a 501st gunship I’m pretty sure there is a rebrickable model of one

Very impressed ! What an accomplishment ! Looks great !

That looks great , i,ve been busy for my self to sort everything out, but have a lot to do in that. Its hard to find a good working system to work with, Thanks for showing.

Jordan you have inspired me to get new drawers and get organised .. thanks so much. 😊

Makes a lot of sense on your reorganization system. I like it.

You could make a legend on paper of what is in your storage using excel spreadsheet. that way you could reference it but not have labels anywhere.

I would happily take the 1x1 plate off you haha. I have been working on a large LOTR moc art for some time and need over 40 thousand. Not on the PAB wall as much as I would like.

U also remover "stress" from my head. it was tilting myself and its not my problem . glad u keep pushing for sorting the lego . keep going just dont overdo yourself

Dude. You give me hope for my little organization project lol… three huge u haul boxes and two 40-gallon tubs. 😢

Seeing how organized your parts are, is really satisfying for me. Way more organizes then mine. But I'm gonna work on it. And possibly gonna heavily base my sorting system off yours if that's ok?

Great effort Jordan you look a lot happier now that job is done , had an idea could you build a monorail system that goes from the city down to the medieval area would be cool to see how you would achieve it good luck I watch every day loving the show I had tons of lego got my first set which was the vintage train set back in 1968 and collected for 50 years ,then I gave my entire collection to my grandson , now that I’ve seen all your great stuff I wish I had kept it all boo to grandson he hardly plays with it

You could take a photo of your bins, and then create a key and print that out. Then you can hide that for reviews and won't be distracting but if you need to find something quickly you can just consult the map.

Looks good Jordan. Looks real good!

What are these containers? I'm trying to find some to organize for my sons and this is what I am looking for

Great idea Jordan, my Lego is only sorted by colour and I need to make it by part type soon.

Wow great system 🤩🤩

Hi Jordan! Nice video with lots of great suggestions! You are a true LEGO professional! 🦈🦈🦈

Do you have any tips on any like storage to show my lego, like the ones you have what are they called?

It's all good Jordan! I know I appreciate you just being genuine, we all have off days. Glad you found a solution that works for you.

@Bricksie what are the bins called that you use in the Sterlite drawers

Great video! Gives me tons of great ideas on organizing my stuff. Where did you get your drawers from? I’m having a hard time finding ones that size around me.

Hi there, luv your videos. I have a question: I'm in an apt with limited space, will be using the livingroom as a lego "room"/living room. How can I sort an entire huge tote into a system like this that you have? I'm finally begining a lego city (just moved in so I'll be moving the started city to the living room from the small dining area soon), I also came up with an idea to "integrate" the livingroom tv into the city, by using the tv as a drive in screen. Sound like an awesome idea? What do you think, any ideas? Thanks...

Also amazon has the plastic inserts cheaper than the dollar store

Wow! Were did u buy the organizer? (Furniture)

where did you buy the little container? Thanks love this. I need to redo my lego room soon too.

ahw man! Now I want to buy this for my husband and sons to sort it all like this because it it to satifying to watch! haha...

Maybe for the label trouble, try this out! Take a picture of the containers, keep the picture on your phone or tablet, and label the draws in the picture? If you use the right app, something like goodnotes or onenote where you can easily save a picture and write directly on top of it, that would make it so you can instantly rewrite the label if you change things.

Love all the organization also putting tags with the part names on it can help you find it easier

im proud of you my man ;)

Where did you buy the storage towers? Thanks

What brand are those clear plastic dividers?

Not that you want to replace the parts bins, but commercial resellers sell bins that are made by Akro-Mils. These bins can be setup in multiple ways either on a shelf, stacked or on a wall panel, and they also are sold with optional dividers. The cost wouldn't be much more than this type of storage, but it would be easy to add on to it and its not drawers, they are open bins which are much easier to see and pick parts.

Hey man! This is a great video and has inspired me to redo my Lego sorting system! I was wondering if you knew what kind of drawers you have that you stored the Lego in? Thanks man!

Keeping lego organised and buying those all fancy containers is quite expensive but relaxing 😌

Which clear containers are those? We need them for our Legos in the Alex drawers.

What shelves do you use? I’m looking for something exactly like that for all of my bulk Lego. I’ve looked up plastic drawers but all I get are really small desk drawers.

Great system

Have you thought of doing the columns in reverse rainbow. Putting the grays and tans up top.

What drawers did you use and where did you get the trays?

I'd love to know where you got the plastic bins/inserts you have in the drawers.

ya its all about looks. labeling your drawers would look tacky and once you mess around with them for like a month you'll basically be able to remember where most pieces are.

Would you please link the storage drawers and dividers

its looking good.

your mild OCD lines up with mine. I like it.

What containers do you use?

Pls pls pls do assorting vid it would be so satisfying

Looking good ! maybe your rant about not wanting to break down the bins help you get the part wall done ! all good rant any time your Lego follower are here you ! oh and nice Boba Fett shirt i was very lucky to get to talk to the OG Boba himself Jeremy Bulloch real nice guy all around, sad that he passed.

Nice system

Anyone know what size those plastic containers are that he used to organize the drawers?

We originally were buying them from the dollar store until they stopped selling them, then found them on Amazon, but they're not available there anymore either unfortunately.

Can you use the little ones for over flow

Hi there, you may have answered this on a different video but I just subscribed today. Are you using standard Sterlite bins from Walmart? and what brand are the clear tubs you use to divide them? Thanks in advance.

Personally, I will be creating a spreadsheet to reference some of my storage. Nothing like your inventory, but enough that I will need a good system to rely on. I had used labels, but they became outdated way too fast. I am still organizing my new display and work area downstairs. I’ll still build smaller sets upstairs (and display some upstairs) and then build the bigger sets downstairs. 😊

You should put the miscellaneous parts in the heads by color, then put a label on the back of the head. Also the stickers/decals could be put in a folder, binder, or ziplock bag. That’ll free up a bunch of drawers

You could use the road plate ramps for walls for a junkyard

I wish I was this organized 😂

Why not use an excel system? Give each column a letter, each row a number, and u can keep an excel spreadsheet on your comuputer or print out a cheat sheet and laminate it and put it near your bins out of the way of your review shots. Then u would only need 1 small sticker across the top row for columns and 1 small sticker down the first column for your rows.

Hey Heather! They are from a company called Plastico. I've only had luck finding the 4x4 ones at Dollarama, but I did find the 2x2 ones on Amazon.ca... but now they are no longer listed 😕 I see the big variety packs listed but not the individuals. It would be nice to find a distributor or the manufacturers website

The drawers are Sterilite, at Walmart or Menards or Meijer in the midwest. Amazon would have them, too. They are stackable 3-drawer organizers. He said he got the little tray dividers at the dollar store. I saw them for $5-$7 each at Meijer, so it seems like dollar stores will have a much better value. I'm going to check Dollar General and Dollar Tree for those little clear trays myself!

What drawers do you use?

How do you get all these legos it’s absolutely insane and how do you afford all this CRAZY but cool display and storage

despite this type of by brick style i did both color and type like Tiago Catarino has and it led me to spend over 100€ in those nut and bolt bases from hardware stores to have most sorted
