Former LEGO ambassador and LEGO zealot as a whole. If I could give negative rep for people writing "Legos", I would. It's going to be very hard not to suspend any offender though.

What are proven methods to sort/categorize a large number of parts? I wish I knew :-) The only designer workshop I've visited is the one in LEGOland Windsor. There they have huge drawers in their main office with one of each part in the drawer glue on a small baseplate on the front. I didn't see one open, but I suspect they are sorted by element AND color. In their stockroom, about every part is sorted similarly by element AND color; with huge boxes for common parts like bricks or plates while for smaller ones they have a gridlike arrangement of small open hobby boxes. Horizontal is shape, vertical is color (or the opposite, I don't remember for sure). |

How to minimise or remove sun-stains/fading from blocks? I was about to answer that's it's usually hopeless, so it's good to see there's a solution, even if it's partial. |

Under what conditions are the Lego boardgame dice unfair, and by how much? Actually, BrickLink will give you the weights for tiles too. A 2x2 is 0.48g and a 1x1 is 0.16g so the difference between one 2x2 and 4 1x1 is 0.16g. Which is not the highest unfairness you could have; as I said you can have empty sides, so the highest unfairness is empty side against 4 1x1 tiles, or a difference of 0.64g, or 8% of the total weight, which is bound to make a difference. Although usually when an empty side comes up you may add stuff on it so the situation is unlikely to happen. |

Where can I find LEGO technic pieces? My mistake, I was under the impression you wanted to buy more parts. So yes, for spare parts, oezi's answer is better. I maintain that LEGO education could be interesting (but in Europe you'd have to find a resller first and it'd usually be too expensive), and eBay may have good surprises, but Bricklink is the way to go when you know what you're after. One last thing on motors: LEGO also sells them individually in the Power Functions section instead of the pick-a-brick one. |
