For a starter when my son was little we started with those shoe organizers that you can screw to a wall or hang over a door. The pockets are clear or mesh. As his collection got bigger we bought bins like these and then started separating into colors then had to separate most by size and color and so on. Booklets we're stored in bins by alphabeticle order then by theme trains Minecraft elves so on. This is amazing.
Just wanted to let you know that you are an ispiration for me , surely in the future i will start to do lego costructions , just know that you are the one who gave me the idea to fill my life with joy and legos .
I just started trying to sort my lego collection at my moms house, which is tiny compared to that at my dad’s house, but it is about one of those medium sized drawers x2 in size, and i just realized that sorting such a diverse lego collection is a huge pain in the ass
This is incredible! I just started playing with Lego at age 30 due to my disability and Im already imagining my dream lego room I hope it looks like yours someday! :)
I just wanted to tell you that this video kick-started by renewed love of Lego. I now have a (smaller) Lego building table, and sets of sorted Lego in drawers. Thank you!
I did this, spent a wonderful few days sorting into colours, types and uses placing them all into used machine tool boxes. Looked wonderful... and put a severe dent in my MoCwork as I dared not upset the system. Soon descended into chaos when I couldn't resist the urge. I admire your discipline.
For those looking to find the drawers used here they are Sterilite 2895. They come as five drawer units w/ 3 large and 2 small drawers, they are modular and he mixes & matches them. The black version is still available but white version is discontinued (appear to be phasing out black version too). I tried the Sterilite 1791 but they are too small & not modular! The Sterilite 2803 is very nice for the larger (taller drawer) unit & it's modular - but there is no small drawer unit (less tall) that goes with it - maddening! So I am now trying the IRIS brand which includes models MC-322-TOP, MC-360-TOP, MC-303-TOP, MC-3100-TOP, MC-3111F-TOP, MC-343-TOP. They are modular & come in three colors. They look perfect for Lego. I will update.
OK so the IRIS storage drawers arrived. They are a very nice size but a very poor design. The are not as sturdy as the Sterilite ones and the drawers only open about 60%! I can't recommend. I'm going to have to live with the Sterilite 2895 in black in combination w/ other stuff. As an alternative this unit Container Store is perfect but expensive: www.containerstore.com/s/12-drawer-storage-chest/d?q=storage%20drawer&productId=10000528
Lol.. ok so my wife just about had a heart attack when I brought home those black-frame Sterilite 2895 drawers. Soooo..... I was thinking about going with those Container Store units but I found something better. Michaels (craft store in the US) caries some of those “Really Useful” brand storage units. The 8-drawer unit has decreased in price to $69 and you can get for ~$55 with 20% off. Expensive but they are very nice quality and drawers are more than 3.5” tall and pull all the way out. www.michaels.com/really-useful-boxes-clear-8-drawer-rolling-chest/10496590.html www.michaels.com/rainbow-8-drawer-rolling-chest/10532691.html
Jang, you are honestly the coolest person I've ever scene, you make my day when I watch your fun, and detailed Lego reviews I watch your channel more than I watch tv, and you are my favorite youtuber ever :D
I've been a fan for years now and it's pretty astonishing watching your Lego city/collection/ and channel grow. Hats off to you Jang, keep up the fantastic work!
I am totally blown away by just how much Lego you have and just how organised you keep it, but I think that you are probably WAAAAYYYY beyond just storing it in a Lego Van and scratching around looking for a certain piece.
Since the last few years lego introduced new small balljoint parts, it opened up a world of possibilities for complex builds. I hope they will introduce plates with rounded 1x1 corner edges in the future.
This makes perfect sense, Jang! As someone who also has sorted their (small) collection once apon a time, I understand exactly how this works and the reasoning behind it. Once your lego collection gets as large as yours, more and more categories get more defined and specific. This is an amazing collection! I'm sure this video will get a LOT of views! I hope it does. Keep up the good work Jang :)
Jang, love your commentary! My daughter (3 yo) and I watch your reviews and I'm so happy when you talk about girls playing with legos, or when you feel that Lego shouldn't make their Lego houses with pink blocks because boys like playing with Lego houses too. So important that they know that toys should appeal to everyone! Thank you! You've gotten a subscriber for life.
I had a plastic bin drawer, not this company but it was something similar. It had 2 large bins and 2 small bins. It got so full over the course of several years that the frame and the upper large bin had completely collapsed. But my dad refused to buy me another one with more storage until I "cleaned my room" even though the reason my room was messy all the time was because of all the overflow of paper-work and stuff that needed to be stored, but I didn't have anywhere to put. In the end, dad chucked everything away when I left home. Over 2 years of story notes and concept art gone. I hate my dad.
Gotta love your love of all things brick/blok based! I am primarily a Mega Bloks collector. Have a handful of Lego sets. I'm wondering where you have all of your Mega Bloks sets displayed. Do you have another room dedicated to those sets? If so, do you ever plan to share that with your subscribers who want to see your MB collection?
Hey Jang! I just want to say that I appreciate your work and the level of family-friendliness. I have been watching your videos since 2013 on many different accounts. Keep up the good work!👍
Are there any Lego sets you *haven't* got?! I've seriously never seen so much Lego in my life - it dwarfs my collection (which is already getting out of hand) but I'm actually quite glad I don't have so many parts as I'd be spending my entire life opening and closing drawers! And your Lego room is really impressive too - in fact your room is not much smaller than the entire flat (apartment) i live in.... lucky you!
I wish i could have a lego collection this size but I'm a broke college student so i have to live vicariously through BrickTubers. i don't know if BrickTubers is an official term for RUclipsrs with Lego related content but i like it.
oh boy how I would make many things if I had those, I remember when I came to your channel to look at your lego hero factory mocs and occasionally ninjago related stuff each time a new season came out, to see all this that took you a long time earning more or less makes me happy that you have this big access to express your mind, keep on building
finally, I've been waiting patiently for this video for a while, awesome! Also, did you forget about the $5 Lego Birthday party Friend Sets, I've never seen the sets in any of your hauls. Anyways, good luck on you're mocs and videos in general! :)
I know it's been a couple years since you've posted this video but I just wanted to say I think your collection and the way you organize it are amazing. I’ve only been building Lego for a year but am starting to reach the point that I need more and more storage. I cringe at the thought of taking apart my sets but when I inevitably have to take apart some older sets or ones I’m less fond of I’ll be implementing a system very similar to yours. I am legally blind and always sort my lego by color when building sets. There are some colors where, especially in the beginning, I have had a hard time telling them apart when mixed together. This is why I could never sort my lego by type as some do. Feeling in a bin of red lego for a particular type is a lot easier for me than looking through a bin of 2x2 bricks for a dark redish brown one. When my collection is large enough, I will likely further sort each color into type so I have bricks in one bin, plates in another, etc but still one color per bin. Anyway, thanks for the room tour and the great ideas it gave me for sorting my own collection.
I sort my very big collection of Lego by piece then by color lol yes I might be crazy, it has taken me years to achieve, any time I get a new big lot it takes a long time to get it all sorted and put away, but I actually enjoy organizing it all. I always know where a piece is when I need it lol
Was hoping that you were going to be walking around Bricks By The Bay. I always keep an eye out,just in case. One day I hope to meet the person that helps ease my sleepless nights due to homesickness. lol
PERFECT TIMING JANG. I was literally going to go back to your old vid for this, since I'm considering taking apart some of my sets, and getting some new drawers for parts :D
I think you should do it to sets you don't like as much or if they are already partly broken If you like them then you should keep it built until you get bored with it
Hey Jang. I just read how you don't sell or trade any of your sets. While I understand this policy, I was wondering if you would sell people some stuff that they wanted to make but didn't have the parts. I mean if they sent you the idea, but just didn't have the parts to make their idea realized. I think that that would be cool: you being a custom LEGO maker. On a separate note, your videos are "phenomenal". I watch your reviews before buying any sets. They are very well made and extremely helpful. If you could reply to the question at the top that would be great. Thanks
Very cool setup. I love the brick organization.I also love the dedicated room just for lego building (so jealous). I have a big lot of Legos, some Star Wars full sets, Bionicle, even pieces from the 1970-80s from older sets. All in great condition. If you're interested, let me know. I haven't weighed them yet but I'm guessing 30-40 lbs. Very much need to get rid of these.
We seperate our lego by color. We also have boxes for Hero Factory/Bionicle/Technic everything of my Lego train (can't remember the name but it's big expensive and yellow) small non brick-like parts lego minifigures tires (we have a lot of lego but that's because I have 2 smaller brothers and one sister even though I'm the only on using it)
I can agree with you on that you need parts to make good MOCs. Ever since I've sorted my collection and got stack-ons, my creations have improved 10 fold. Also I think one of the 2x6's in your old gray bin might be light bluish gray, though I could be wrong, the camera can play tricks at times. ha ha!
At 14:00 at the bottom of the screen, the two blue wheels and also the two white ones (one is covered from the blue and the other shows its prints). Do anybody remember the sets? I know it from my childhood but dont know the model.
Hey Jang, the piece you hold at 33:38 (the long tube) is used in some Mars Mission sets for 'pump action' features such as firing the missiles from set 7691 or just to transport the alien capsules in sets such as 7690, personally I think they're great and unique for Mars Mission. But maybe you could implement them into something else somehow!
i love you man! you got the same type of sorting stuff as i do. i'd find anything there, awesome! but, you still got a 1000 times more parts than i do :P
Thank you so much for making another tour I really have been waiting for two years and keep up the great work I can't wait to see the train station once it's done!
Who else would love to spend a week in Jang's Lego room?
I would give the world to build with legos with him
Me!! Same
I would pay to do that!
+RoCheSlayy s I would love that also to look round his city myself
ShadowCat me
For a starter when my son was little we started with those shoe organizers that you can screw to a wall or hang over a door. The pockets are clear or mesh. As his collection got bigger we bought bins like these and then started separating into colors then had to separate most by size and color and so on. Booklets we're stored in bins by alphabeticle order then by theme trains Minecraft elves so on. This is amazing.
finally i know where lego is ordering its parts for the sets.
the transparent blue drawer looks beautiful
dang,Jang I can't help but being worried that those towers are gonna go crashing down
9/11
18:50 Spotted that helm! I had it when I was younger. kind of nostalgic to see that particular lego piece :D
Theres something so calming about seeing thousands of lego parts nice and neatly organized. Ahhhhh
Jangbriks is the best Lego RUclipsr that has ever lived!
Just wanted to let you know that you are an ispiration for me , surely in the future i will start to do lego costructions , just know that you are the one who gave me the idea to fill my life with joy and legos .

Bless your soul I could not find this anywhere, thank you for doing your research.
Amazing collection of parts man! Love your videos and reviews and definitely your MOCs!
Jang, you are honestly the coolest person I've ever scene, you make my day when I watch your fun, and detailed Lego reviews
I watch your channel more than I watch tv, and you are my favorite youtuber ever :D
I would kill to have that collection
Woah dude, calm down.
+Just Another Guy on the Internet it's a figure of speech
same!
Great to watch, like to see people enthusiastic about there hobby. love your channel Jang top stuff.
I've been a fan for years now and it's pretty astonishing watching your Lego city/collection/ and channel grow. Hats off to you Jang, keep up the fantastic work!
I am totally blown away by just how much Lego you have and just how organised you keep it, but I think that you are probably WAAAAYYYY beyond just storing it in a Lego Van and scratching around looking for a certain piece.
Wow, cool collection! I like how you are organized!
"Bricks have feelings" - glad you said that. :) Made me smile, as I feel a similar way. :)
Since the last few years lego introduced new small balljoint parts, it opened up a world of possibilities for complex builds. I hope they will introduce plates with rounded 1x1 corner edges in the future.

this video is actually quite satisfying
I swear this guy can grab any LEGO instruction book and build it
i love your behind the scene vids , they really stir up the imagination and excitement that only Lego can conjure
I looove the transparent pieces. I wish I had more.
I love how you organised your Lego
Dude! This is paradise! 😱😍
I wish I could meet you Jang, that would make my life so much more awesome!

You are one of the best you tubers out there, I wish the best for you Jangbricks, am a big fan
I can't stop watching your collection videos😎
But where's the drawer full of Mr. Gold figures?
thats not possible, there are only 5000 mr. gold in the world i dont think he would have a drawer of mr. golds.
I love your setup for the whole room. it's very organized and well used.
Wow you actually inspired me on how to organise my parts a better way!
Hey Jang! I just want to say that I appreciate your work and the level of family-friendliness. I have been watching your videos since 2013 on many different accounts. Keep up the good work!👍
This video is particularly helpful in breaking down the storage. Some times I don’t know how to split pieces for storage purposes!
Are there any Lego sets you *haven't* got?! I've seriously never seen so much Lego in my life - it dwarfs my collection (which is already getting out of hand) but I'm actually quite glad I don't have so many parts as I'd be spending my entire life opening and closing drawers!

At least your not hard to shop for at Christmas and on birthdays. Brilliant collection.
This is a thing of beauty!!
This is a child’s heaven
Your Lego collection is amazing.
I wish i could have a lego collection this size but I'm a broke college student so i have to live vicariously through BrickTubers. i don't know if BrickTubers is an official term for RUclipsrs with Lego related content but i like it.
You could make an awesome airport terminal using those huge windscreens at 29:27 to let minifigs observe the planes!
Can someone please link me to where these plastic drawers are? Thank you.
Binza same I look for them but have not found them yet. If anybody knows share the link
Binza Amazon or you could go to target, wallmart.
Are they the wide version of Sterilite drawers??
You have a very great part collection. I have one question: Where did you buy the small boxes inside the sterlite ones?? Example on 20:23
Jang I like ur voice, I usually watch ur videos at night, and I fall asleep right away. Thx Jang :)
dang, that is a ton of legos! I love it!
Seeing the blasters drawer hit me with nostalgia. Hope the new Bionicles will get some of those!
When the Lego (Cubed ones) and the Technic/Everything Bionicle ones started showing I think I died of jealousy...
I watched the entire thing and it's amazing
I thought I was the only one who separated the pieces & bricks by color hahaha. So nice and satisfiying to watch. Good job!!
oh boy how I would make many things if I had those, I remember when I came to your channel to look at your lego hero factory mocs and occasionally ninjago related stuff each time a new season came out, to see all this that took you a long time earning more or less makes me happy that you have this big access to express your mind, keep on building
I just love everything about this! Thank you for showing us jang!
Going through these drawers was a roller coaster of emotions for me
finally, I've been waiting patiently for this video for a while, awesome! Also, did you forget about the $5 Lego Birthday party Friend Sets, I've never seen the sets in any of your hauls. Anyways, good luck on you're mocs and videos in general! :)

wow!!! I am a little jealous of how amazing your collection is!!!
Every time I go on RUclips, the first thing I check for is a new video from you! Really the best in the AFOL community! :)
this level of neat organization speaks to my soul. 💙
Nice system. Those foliage bins are actually kind of nice to just look at. LEGO has such a great color pallet.
I sort my very big collection of Lego by piece then by color lol yes I might be crazy, it has taken me years to achieve, any time I get a new big lot it takes a long time to get it all sorted and put away, but I actually enjoy organizing it all. I always know where a piece is when I need it lol
Really rest- and peaceful thing indeed, cleares the mind. I like it sometimes more than building with the LEGO.
omg i only have 38.000 Parts but more organized, but your system likes work for you. Nice video dude!
Was hoping that you were going to be walking around Bricks By The Bay. I always keep an eye out,just in case. One day I hope to meet the person that helps ease my sleepless nights due to homesickness. lol
Hi jangbriks I want to ask you a question where you bought those organizer boxes, please answer your subscriber.
Yes! I have been waiting so long for this JANG! I have just started to sort my LEGO again and this should really help. Thanks for a great video. 😀
20:17 TOOOOBES...That had me laughing so hard 😂
Does anyone know a link for these drawers?
0:51
Sterilite
PERFECT TIMING JANG. I was literally going to go back to your old vid for this, since I'm considering taking apart some of my sets, and getting some new drawers for parts :D
That leads me to a question.... Should I take apart my sets? (I'm pretty sure you won't answer but YOLO)
I think you should do it to sets you don't like as much or if they are already partly broken
If you like them then you should keep it built until you get bored with it
Hey Jang. I just read how you don't sell or trade any of your sets. While I understand this policy, I was wondering if you would sell people some stuff that they wanted to make but didn't have the parts.

On a separate note, your videos are "phenomenal". I watch your reviews before buying any sets. They are very well made and extremely helpful. If you could reply to the question at the top that would be great. Thanks
I agree
This is perfect timing, I have just started to organize my collection a couple days ago! Thank you!
I really want all of this lego!!! Your channel is so cool, stay awesome.
Very cool setup. I love the brick organization.I also love the dedicated room just for lego building (so jealous).
I have a big lot of Legos, some Star Wars full sets, Bionicle, even pieces from the 1970-80s from older sets. All in great condition.
If you're interested, let me know. I haven't weighed them yet but I'm guessing 30-40 lbs. Very much need to get rid of these.
We seperate our lego by color. We also have boxes for
Hero Factory/Bionicle/Technic
everything of my Lego train (can't remember the name but it's big expensive and yellow) small non brick-like parts
lego minifigures
tires
(we have a lot of lego but that's because I have 2 smaller brothers and one sister even though I'm the only on using it)
It's the Cargo Train (7939). It was discontinued :(
I can agree with you on that you need parts to make good MOCs. Ever since I've sorted my collection and got stack-ons, my creations have improved 10 fold.
Also I think one of the 2x6's in your old gray bin might be light bluish gray, though I could be wrong, the camera can play tricks at times. ha ha!
Plz do more Lego collection in 2019 version plz like so he can do it
he doesn't care about how many likes a comment has. he cares for how meaningful it is. and he might do one when he has a lot more pieces too show.
Greatest collection of Lego I've ever seen! Well, other than Lego's of course. The things I could do if I had such a collection...
Make a lego model of your house
At 14:00 at the bottom of the screen, the two blue wheels and also the two white ones (one is covered from the blue and the other shows its prints). Do anybody remember the sets? I know it from my childhood but dont know the model.
Your house is like the wonder land of Lego I wish I lived there
Wooowww great collection of lego pieces, specially the transparent ones I love them!! 😉
Love seeing all those bins of Lego. I also sort the same way you do.
This is just amazing. So many bricks. I'm speechless =D
Do you still have your Super star destroyer in tact?
I do. Haven't decided upon a good place to display it yet though.
+JANGBRiCKS i have mine standinh over My TV in My bedroom
If you want it in your city you could get some thin string and hang it on the ceiling.
+JANGBRiCKS put it under your collectible minifigures display
+Jacob Seitz bad idea
I put small plastic lunch boxes in to partition the draws up,a bit.About 10p each,in boxes of 100,so not a great outlay.
I hope we're going to see another one of these soon I think you got a lot of stuff from Bricklink since 2016 eh? My OCD loves this video so much!
Great video. It really helped give me a notion of what your custom building operation is like!
This is like a visual equivalent of ASMR
ASMR involves a lot of visuals though.
Wow Jang that's a lot of bricks ! And parts !
Hey Jang, the piece you hold at 33:38 (the long tube) is used in some Mars Mission sets for 'pump action' features such as firing the missiles from set 7691 or just to transport the alien capsules in sets such as 7690, personally I think they're great and unique for Mars Mission. But maybe you could implement them into something else somehow!
Indeed, mine came from some of the Mars Mission sets I've reviewed!
+JANGBRiCKS but what happened to the rest of the sets?? D-,:
Most of the rest have been donated to charity.
Holy saddle bags! Slap me silly and call me Susie. This is so needed!
You should always be happy with those cillections Jang,i wish I had that much of a collection!
Can you show us your set collection? Or do you take them apart.
i love you man! you got the same type of sorting stuff as i do. i'd find anything there, awesome! but, you still got a 1000 times more parts than i do :P
Thank you so much for making another tour I really have been waiting for two years and keep up the great work I can't wait to see the train station once it's done!
Keep up the good work watched you since 2015 best luck for 2017. I think your going to hit a million subscribers in 2017
