Now I buy incomplete Lego sets so I have spare parts to use.
I can see myself expanding on this and selling by parts.
Heck I see how much sellers make just for spare parts! I buy them LOL
I also just learned that there is an actual process in sorting out the parts before building. It is called Knolling .
I sometimes build these brand new kits without minifigures you see on eBay, not so much for the kit itself, but if i've bought something (like the Ideas Dr Who set) which has a lot of useful/unique bricks that I can see a use for either in another kit I'm gathering bricks for or for a self build idea.
It's a much cheaper way to get those rarer bricks than buying them off sellers on eBay or BrickLink, although sometimes that is the only route for some items as Lego's own 'Pick A Brick' facility on their website is pretty rubbish apart from 'normal' type bricks.
So what is this 'sorting process' then AC? It could be darn useful with some of these 'clone' kits who don't use the numbered bag idea
Happily collecting things all my life...
