  • I’ve been checking this site on and off from Europe for about a month. Can someone who knows more than me explain the expected timeline for what remains?

    I feel like it jumped up into the mid 30%s after only a month or so and then stagnated for weeks.

    Now it seems to have jumped again. But I guess I’m wondering at what sort of percentage does everything go to shit (not that it isn’t already!). Are there points where there is a no turning back or civil war becomes inevitable, etc.? Or does it hit a certain percentage where it will jump to 100% overnight due to certain protections being removed.

    I guess I’m struggling to wrap my head around what I’m seeing, what it looks like between 40% and 100% and how quickly this might happen?

    Even a guide somewhere on the net that breaks it down would be great.







  • This looks great. Thanks so much for your work on this and sharing with us.

    What in your opinion sets your software apart from the other options you mention?

    I have recently setup dockers for plex, immich, nextcloud and paperlessngx but have yet to look at longterm maintenence inc. things like auto updates (I know to avoid on immich).

    As someone who prob knows the options inside and out - would you recommend your option to this relative newbie or do you think one of the other options might be a better place to start?







  • For me it looked like tupperware city… Every old plastic container I could find.

    This was helpful to me although says much more than needed - for a TLDR just scroll down to the example with the red bricks being categorised into big groups and then broken down again. (I can’t emphasize enough though doing things by color is horrendous 😅)

    There isn’t anything on here I don’t think but I do think there is r/Legostorage (might not have remembered the name perfectly) which has tonnes of good ideas and advice. Ultimately after you have added all the parts you are going to want to store them in a meaningful way to actually get them quickly.



  • Yes! I just did this with 25000 pieces I got on FB market place.

    Identifying what you can build: You want: https://rebrickable.com/

    • Add any sets you have.
    • Add any parts you have.

    Then you can search for what you can build - filtering by exact colours/close matches/any.

    You can also filter only official sets, alternative builds for official sets and MOC (make own creation - builds other people have come up with - both paid and free)

    Identifying Parts: Finally as someone who took weeks adding all my parts and only discovered this app in the last few days…

    https://brickognize.com/

    This website you can take a photo of any one piece and it will give you the part number so you don’t have to hunt for it on the rebrickable parts list. It is astonishingly accurate!

    Other tips: Sort your parts first. I went through 2 key stages…

    • Reduce to broad categories: brick, plate, bracket, minifigure etc.
    • remove every part of one type at a time regardless of color and then add them etc.

    With rebrickable you can just select 1x2 brick and add 10 black and then just quickly change number and color to 8 green etc. So colour’s are not worth sorting til the very end!!

    Plus identifying all the green 1x2s in a pile of 1x2s is a LOT easier than identifying all the 1x2 greens in a huge pile of green stuff.

    I’ll stop now as it’s becoming a wall of text but any questions feel free to ask!
