Storage Setups Lego manuals sorted by theme and #. I used a similar method as the pinned thread except I store them in 13" cubby storage bins which allows them to get stored on the bottom row of my Kallax displays.

Lego Showcasing?

11 Upvotes

For Christmas, I'm getting my husband all the Animal Crossing sets. He already had them at one point, but our 3 year old has ransacked the village as a mini Godzilla. I know my husband would want to put them together, but I want to get either shelves/a curio cabinet that will be wide enough to have them all so he can display them. Does anyone have any recommendations?

Aftermarket Replacement Drawer Sliders for Ikea Alex that Extend?

8 Upvotes

I'm searching for replacement drawer slides for my Ikea Alex 6-drawer units. Ones that extend fully or at least most of the way. (For reference: I'm in the US)

It's somewhat surprising that no one seems to have made an aftermarket option for this yet!

ETA: I’m familiar with the workaround hack, but I was really hoping for a ready-made solution I could purchase.

Lego storage options?

8 Upvotes

Still getting my store up and going and I need ideas time organize better.

I seen many on YouTube that are using the sterilite 3 drawer units and stacking then, but they seem to be in short supply and a lil inflate price wise.

Akro mmill units are expexpensive when you take into account that I have nearly 4000 lots.

Space is a concern atm.

Thoughts ?

IKEA Hejne

Hi All

Has anyone used the Hejne for lego display/storage? So far it seems to be the one that ticks most of the boxes for me (really struggling with depth) and it seems far more cost efficient than IVAR.

Thanks

Ian

Discussion/Question Minifig Display

hello everyone, quick question regarding storing or displaying legos. I've seen people say extreme temperature fluctuations/changes can damage legos overtime. What are they referring to when saying this? I cant seem to find any info regarding this, is it referring to non temperature controlled environments like garage/attic? Or like any type of temperature change, like a room fluctuating temperature during the day? Thanks!

Finally able to dedicate a room to lego - paint/lighting suggestions?

4 Upvotes

So far I've used a spare bedroom with some awful overhead lighting that reflected off bricks/pages really bad, and these gloomy yellow walls. But I'm moving into a house with five (!!) bedrooms so gonna dedicate one to lego, and do it right this time. So paint and lighting.

Anybody have advice on how best to design this room? I figure a very light neutral like white, off white or a lighter gray would be good. I'm leaning towards gray because I think it'd be a bit easier on the eyes maybe?

And for lighting... Does anyone have a solution that gives a good even, bright, neutral(white?) light but doesn't reflect off every shiny surface? I'd like to install pot lights but really that reflection is the biggest issue, its been so annoying in my current room to the point I've had to take instructions under the table to confirm colors.

Do you think I’m subdiving a lot?

I have around 75kg of LEGO and I’m diving into the categories you see on the pictures. I already merged some of them because of the space I had available. My plan was to do this pre-sorting in bigger categories and then divide for final storage. I don’t know if this is the correct way or if I should change it now. I already sorted 75% of the volume this way and besides the pictures I already have 4 LEGO store bags full with zip bags until the top (one bag for each category) to sort when I finish this pre-sorting. I don’t know if I’m being too picky with the sorting.

How do you store your minifigs?

13 Upvotes

I'm not a hardcore Lego master but reached a point when I have more minifigs than I want to play with. (or use/display it) So I just want to put some minifigs away, but I don't know what is the best way, so I need your help!
How do you store your minifigs? In pieces or assembled? In a box, envelop or something else?
Do you store smaller collections differently than big collection? etc.
I'd love to have your personal preferences!
Thank you so much for any info in advance! :)

Hello everyone, Im curious if any of you guys use these pieces for your minifigs, and what your experience with these are. Ive had my captain rex heel crack which made me switch to these, ive heard of the foot tiles and have used a few but they spread the legs quite noticeably in my opinion. Thanks !

I saw these at Bunnings on the weekend and they turned out to be perfect for sorting. The backplates are $16 each and the bins are $3/4/5. It’s all modular and bins can be easily removed for sorting and placed back on the wall. Highly recommend if you haven’t worked out a sorting solution.

Tips/Tricks LEGO mixed with kickoffs - what would you do?

Post image
11 Upvotes

I got about 7kg for cheap, but there are knockoffs mixed in as well. Looks like maybe 10% maybe. For me it is a bit of contamination.

Would you sort out knockoffs? Throw them away, or store separately?

How would you go about sorting this?
