I mean, with legos it’s not even that bad, because the pieces look different; i have a nightmare box full of screws and nuts with diffrent size and thread i ripped from old stuff, finding the screw you need is an herculean feat
Around my parts we call that the Box of Miracles… It’s where you go rummaging when you can’t find the screw you need anywhere else.
I’ve got a huge clear box of Legos that I haven’t touched in years. I could probably donate all of it though…
Literally sell it because Lego appreciates faster than gold. I bought a huge tub of Lego for $150 CAD and if I was to buy each set contained off of Rebrickable, I’d be spending thousands of dollars.
I have several sets in their, but I’d rather give them to a kid who’s never had Legos than sell them to a collector
Krrch … Krrch … Krrch … Krrch … Krrch “goddamit” Krrch … Krrch …
Krrch … “AUA!” … Krrch …
That blue tub brings back some memories. Lots of hurt feet.
And the noise. The sound of tumbling Legos was the soundtrack to my childhood.
My son (5) and I built a 2,500 piece Harry Potter castle. we have a bunch of other Lego. I feel this in my soul.
Well, and now you need it and can’t find it. With your fist clenched you agressively search through the box for that piece, but only after 10 minutes you realize that this piece was indeed in your fist the whole time
I just dumped them all on the floor to sort through. Even had the Rubbermaid tub
Boy howdy do I know that frustration all too well. I keep a lot of my spare pieces in a big jar and whenever I go looking for one I know I have - suddenly I don’t have one like it at all. What the hell? Are aliens using my spare lego parts to build a painful new form of bumpy anal probe or something? I know I saw that piece in there just two days ago!!!
It was always the tiniest piece too, like a 1x1 or 2x2 and you only had a few of them.
Oh the memories
This, but my toolbox and I’m looking for the right socket.
I have the Rebel Blockade Runner UCS, I tried building it a few times and just couldn’t find the right pieces. This set was before Lego started including numbered bags so it’s just one big pile of bricks.
