I bet my wife that she wouldn't dare mix up my perfectly sorted lego technic collection... well folks.. this is about 40,000 pieces. I would say roughly 60kg.. this will take me about 6 months to re-sort.

I kinda wanted it done.. but I couldn't bring myself to do it. Or to outright tell her to do it.

That's awesome. I LOVED legos when I was a kid. Why separate them though?

I believe that's a symptom of OCD!! Hahaha.

I have been to Legoland a few times (the original one in Billund, Denmark), some pretty amazing things they have built out of simple plastic bricks.

I would love to go to legoland!

I have to separate them otherwise it is almost impossible to find an particular piece within the mass. I have many hundreds of one piece but only 10 of another.. it gets annoying.

I may just see if i can bury one of the kids in the tub with it 😂

You should make a lego formicarium. :) I think there is enough of a variety in lego peices to make everything needed for a formicarium.

I'd buy a lego formicarium in a heartbeat. I don't have the patience to build one myself.

I use to have a big bunch of lego like that. Never bothered to sort it. For some reason I always liked to make robo-animals. Like dogs with robotic wings and get jet packs on their feet. I don't know why that appealed to me so much.
