Thats an extensive collection.

Seeing some of your collections makes me feel better about my addiction. I use a lot of those same types of containers for my collection. I've only sorted by color at this point, I haven't gone through with the sorting by type yet. I'm just thankful that my mother had saved all my Legos from when I was a kid so that when I came back to them as an adult I had a huge collection already.

I probably only have enough to fill the black bucket O:

clever title! LOL!

hehe, another inch; that's what she said!

nice collection, i am way jealous!!

Oh great, a lot of sorted lego. I like this view. But it's terrible to do it every week to get an overview about the unused pieces.

Last pic - epic face xD

Test build Minas Tirith.

You look like your in your 70's or 80's in that bottom pic.....

Wow, What is up with that face at the bottom pic???? I can't describe that.

Wow. Thats a lot. If I tore my sets down, I could probably fill about 2 or 3 of those TUBs.

Lol, perfect "meep!" expression. 0o0

I have a decient size of LEGO. Check ALL of my stuff!

I'm certainly glad you didn't decide to sit in that tub au natural and simulate having a bath. There's probably something wrong with my thought processes for thinking that but it's certainly not worth fixing at this stage of the game. We're having a virtual tour of our LEGO spaces this weekend at the TwinLUG meeting. I'm cleaning up my room for that. Nice to get things organized. Wish my life was as nicely comparmentalized as my LEGO. see ya. garth

A lotta LEGO®... I've got a lot... Not quite as much as that though. I'm about to get all my cousins Lego-hes 20 and been collecting all that time-

I have a tub of pieces that's (of course!) unsorted. I've also got pieces all over my floor because my brother is a snob when it comes to cleaning and he always leaves the leftover pieces when he's done building. And I have some baggies of pieces. Nice collection, huh?

i have more I WILL CONCORE THE WORLD WITH MY LEGOS!!!

I have a relatively similar system of sorting

I've got about 2/3 or more of what you have(I've got a ton)

Ok, heres some emphasis on my collection: Its about a third (give or take a tiny fraction) of that to be sorted tub. Also it isnt sorted. (I have a small collection, yes?) Good job on sorting. It probably makes lego building much easier (when i get my own house, approximately 8-10 years from now, I will probably have saved enough lego bricks as you [im planning on keeping my legos for a while], and then I would have the [clearance?] to be able to organize stuff.) But for now i have about a quarter of a huge tub occupied, and thats it. (p.s... are there 3 versions of the x-wing? I have one that i never finished [I got way too frustrated at the wings falling off [[I was pushing too hard]]...], and I definitely dont have the early 90s version, but i do not have the recent version...)

wow! i dream of have to use those large storage cases for my legos, my collection is too small and my storage cases smaller. BTW, you have great creations arround here!!!

My "to be sorted" area has exactly the same size! Or is even bigger, during the olympics i've found parts and wreckages of the last 10 MOCs...Very nice Chris - Kevin

so based on the title here, "another inch ought to do it", can I assume that brings you to the total of TWO inches?

Gimme a round-trip ticket to your place, and I'll sort it for free! I just finished sorting most of mine today (a substantial amount), so I'm qualified! :D I fully understand the horrors of the unsorted bin, as it's responsible for wrecking my lego room on multiple occasions. (Both by causing a backup or being tripped over.) Thanks for the look at your lovely collection, I wonder how much the others have...

There is also something called talent that Chris (bless his heart) wasn't born with. !SMACK!

Time constraints mostly. I only have a couple hours a week for lego and I have the attention span of a ADHD squirrel so long term projects just aren't in the cards right now. But that doesn't mean I won't do so in the future.

Nice collection Chris. And yes, your tub with unsorted bricks is larger than mine! [insert evil laughing here] ;-)

its called camoflaged grey

Nice collection its so big I wish I had that many tubs of legos instead I have to deal with two tubs of legos, and I don't want to scrap my AT-AT either

Thanks for all of the helpful advice! I built a snow planet dio using your advice.

what a poor, poor ship...and i smell bacon in here... CRAP! THAT'S ME! AAAAAHHHHH

Nice. For me, there's the half sorted bath-tub sized bin, the 12 or so bins from Ikea(We NEED target in Canada.) The tackle boxes, and the floor. As a matter of fact, I don't think there's anything I hate more than sorting. - Except the Yankees. At least they don't cover the basement floor.

God, that makes me hotter than July... anyway, what you should say is "Oh yeah? Well that's what your mother said!" and they'll be all like "Oh snap!" and you'll be like "Oh yeah I did that!" and then they'll say "Oh no you di'ent!"

wohoooo to much lego detail i think im gonna faint. no just kiddin how much did that cost you in totall.

God, I wish I had some of those sets...looks like I'm envious of that additional inch!

Nice collection. It's nice to see that your updating it. Keep on buying more bricks! :)

Ah the joy of unopened sets. I've got the camper van, a big power miners drilling rig and my Pirates advent calender staring at me from across the room just begging to be torn open. I think the advent calender will actually make it to December, but only my current MOC and limited building time per day have kept the others in their boxes. Thanks for the insight into your storage and sorting. Always useful to see.

Nice opening line, it has so many applications :)

man that's cool, I'm always interested in see how the others organize their collections...

I wonder how you haven't died yet from plastic poisoning!

"Mancave"...I like the sound of that...

When I order pieces for my Supar Star Destroyer, you will witness true caos in Lego sorting.

Looking good Mr. Phipson. Glad to see the container scored a spot on the trophy wall. Makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. :-) Now...let's get to building that mancave!

Umm how many legos is that. like all the legos in the world or what!!!!

If you give them an inch, they'll take take a mile. So don't get stuck in that trap. You are much more organized than I am. Thanks for sharing.

Wow! You have got a lot of bricks! Also I would like to know what I could do to my mocs to get them more attention.

Actually, it's either. Here: aught also ought (ôt) pronoun Anything whatever: "Neither of his parents had aught but praise for him" From the American Heritage Dictionary.

Hey, I also got a couple of drawer carts from Target when they're on sale last summer! They're really good for storing legos. ~ Ghostman :)

Things are progressing quite nicely here :) Just give us a call when you're ready to start creating the mancave and we'll take a road trip!

I really need to sort out my lego. Where did you get the trays for your minifigs ?

Nice collection. Two words to describe this thing: holy moly. Bye.

Wait, isn't it "oughta", not "aughta"?

Hehe... The joy of sorting. Personally, I LOVE having everything sorted now (200-something boxes!), it's just that it requires a lot of discipline to maintain. Good day

So I guess me helping you clean up is out of the question. Dang I could have used some money! Anyhoo would you be able to swing by my house some time soon to work on "Project X" (and mabye help organize)? Just email me when you get the chance.-George

I just passed up the most awesome clearance sale at Walmart and felt so good about it...until now. How late are they open?!!

HOLY BANTHA CHOPS! I ONLY HAVE ABOUT TWO TO THREE BUCKETS (that size) FULL!

wow, ¡ need to organize like that! all my stuff is just layed out randomly in about eight or nine small boxes and 4 BIG ones.

That's no moon, it's Phipson's collection! Did someone say Legos on sale at WalMart?

funny.. i just had a sudden urge to organize my lego.. wonder where that came from..

john. YES THEY DO!! they have a HUGE selection at the walmart i go to! it used to be bigger, but its still pretty big...

Good grief, Chris. That's quite the collection you've got going. Bigger than mine. Now excuse me while I head over to Walmart... EDIT: You have stinkin' UN-OPENED SETS!? I'm not sure if I like you anymore. =)

*Snif. Wal-Mart doesn't sell Lego in Canada anymore.

Kill the ISD. Too many plates in there, and just collecting dust. Mine was one of the first SW sets to go the way of the rubbermaid tubs. Nice to have too much to effectively use fishing kits.

But why is the water in the urinal so cold? Lee.

Suess can be a bit strong for me sometimes... I have to dilute it with witty, Douglas Preston novels.

I see someone has been smoking their Dr. Seuss this week. Thanks for coming in to take a peek. Man that cat pan under the desk can really reek. So bad in fact that I feel weak. So when your future seems a little bleak, be sure to smoke your Seuss this week... Contagious much?

I will not help you sort. I will do nothing of the sort. Your collection isn't the only thing that's short. I'd hate to see you in a skort. That ship is the BFC's port. Should I rhyme more I'll be in tort. Glad it's not a book report. Bad jokes are my last resort. No! No! No! I will not help you sort (unless you give me a glass of port).

Luckily there are people like you to reinforce the fact that I do NOT have enough legos.

Can't remember, fleshie I think. Chris: "Hi, my name is Chris and I'm a sort-O-haulic." Group: "Hi Chris." You lucky son of a... What if I hook you up with a cup of PAB 1x2 clear bricks? Oh right, did that already.

How you use it, eh? Well... Moving along. Nice collection, the Republic Cruiser looked like a great set when it was in the catalog... Did it come with fleshie or yellow figs?

Oh, so glad you posted this! I have been doing the same thing for the last month and I thought I was just being anal.....well, I suppose I was, but at least I have company! See you all in therapy!

so that "to be sorted" tub is the same thing as your old "$&%@ it I'll clean it up later" bucket, right? I gotta get me one of those, the floor is getting kinda messy. lol

I was going to say that you'll be needing more that just an inch, that is until I read your little motto "bigger isn't always better". Do people tell you that just to make you feel better? Anyway, great collection. Now if only get can get you to build something decent with it all. Kidding. -Dylan

Well, that's a good start. Ha ha. I'd say that about anyone's collection. My collection has taken over my living room. I wanted to be able to watch the tv when I work. My house is my mancave. see ya. garth

Very nice! I have a lot more sorting to do myself.....and NO I will not do yours as well! LOL

Wow. Lots and LOTS of buckets. I think I counted at least 15 or so on the main pic. But holy cow. That's A LOT of LEGOs.

poor cruiser... the way it in there makes it look like its sinking! nice way to sort the minifigs. im going to sort my collection once i get some bins. BTW, i would gladly sort you legos... for free! (as long your willing to pay for gas) (also remember, you should doubt that it will really happen)

Lol, you've got a BIG collection.

nice! This is A ton more than I got. But remember... Its all how you use it. And I gotta say, You use it pretty well.
