>>10364439get these yellow storehouse boxes from harbor freight. The cubbies pop out for easy dumping/scooping and they're a third the price of the husky/craftsman equivalent. The only thing that sucks ass is the labels they come with are that shitty paper variety that never peel off without solvents.
>>10365626Depends on the size of your collection. If you have many pieces you should sort by part type, not color. My scheme is:
>Bricks (1xN, 2xN, tall bricks, textured bricks, other)>Plates (basic, cut, curved, large modified)>Slopes (straight slopes, faceted wedge slopes)>Curves (curved bricks, curved tiles)>Tiles (1xN, 2xN, round, grills, cheese wedges, modified)>Bracketry (brackets, clips, handles, bars, click joints, other)>SNOT bricks (SNOT-proper, technic bricks, ratchet bricks, other)>Pins and bars (Nexo arms, droid arms, pneumatic connectors, spyglasses, lightsaber hilts, etc.)>Panels (panels-proper, windshields/canopies, put tall bricks here unless your collection is huge)>Vehicle (car fenders, body panels, engines, wheels/tires, axles, hubs)>Technic (technic bricks, axles, pins, beams, gears, panels. I keep system bars near technic axles)>Minifig (minifig proper, accessories, teeth, tentacles, flames/gems, animals, misc.)>Foliage/rock/miscellany>Brittle brown/blue & old gray (keep these separate, trust me)
