[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We keep the minifigures and their accessories in a smaller bin separate from the regular Lego pieces.

Mixed Legos go in a big, shallow, clear bin.

Expensive complete sets and special creations go on shelves mounted to the wall.  We use metal brackets spray painted to coordinate with their room, and had clear acrylic cut at Home Depot for the shelves (at different heights out of reach of the little one, and clear so the kids can still see their creations from the floor).

A family member recommends sorting/storing bricks according to shape and type instead of color (studs, plates, wings, roof tiles, wheels, hinges, etc.).  She swears that the pieces make less of a mess that way because the kids look for a certain type of brick when they are building, not a certain color.[/quote]

I agree, sorting by shape and type makes much more sense when you are looking for pieces to a kit. We also store lego figurines separately and use the IKEA containers for the rest[/quote]
