This is so far the best method I tried. The sliding is the ultimate saver. I started buying bulk and sorting out whole sets for resale as a hobby hustle only because sorting, completing sets and building them soothes me. It's perfect relaxation to listen to podcasts and going through 30kg of that sweet noisy crap
I am in the most hideous Lego situation after pleading with my husband NOT to chuck all Lego in massive bins together- the new 2022 stuff of my son with his 80s Lego. Not even setting aside big half built bits. Just a massive mess and building old 80s kits with new pieces leaving the odd discoloured pieces in new sets. Now I can do sorting so much quicker. Thank you thank you.
I appreciate the time and care you took to make this video. I saw your old one you made years back and it really helped me with sorting Lego. Moreover, this is by far the best method I have seen to sort Lego and it works well. Thank you, and God Bless you.
In retail this is called "double handling" and is actually slower than putting it where it goes the first time. Ideally you'd have all your category bins on the table and put each piece where it goes all at the same time.
Before sliding, I usually pick out the large parts as the obscure and obstruct the rest. A sorter to 'weed out' the really tiny pieces also helps to go from bulk to manageable. I bought a nice lot just a couple of days ago and the kid pulled out most of the minifig hands AND arms... go figure.
The sliding method is very clever! If I might suggest a time saver: The second macro-sort of going through the sorted brick ( 10:39 ) for already-sorted categories can be skipped to save a LOT of time. Just pull out anything interesting, and dump the rest of the dregs into the next day’s bin and sort it next time. At the very least, the off-camera sort ( 12:58 ) can be skipped by dumping those into tomorrow’s bin. Thanks for a clear and concise video!
Great video I'm currently getting my Lego room ready I've been a long time collector of Lego sets and I'm now getting into building my own Mocs. Thanks.
Your energy and strategy for sorting lego makes me want to make a webseries called "Sorting LEGO : The Battle". And invite some famous people in my country to show how they sorting lego, even if they are not playing lego yet, lol. Once again, i love your energy and your eficiency. Subbed, buddy. Greeting from Indonesia!

Haha! That sweet sound of Lego crashing into other Lego!

I will have to give this a try next time! Thanks!

Haha, thanks for the support!!
This method is fast, but I double check if its fake lego in each catagory.
Nice one I wanna sort my lego now lol
Man I don’t even have money to buy the containers so I use water bottles cut in half until I got an akro mills cabinet
Extremely good budget method
What do you do now with the macro-sorted categories?
What brand of table is that?
So how has this been working for you over the last five months? Still going strong?
how do I buy assorted parts?
