I think some confusion has crept in here. Probably my fault.
Yup, I’m going with your fault. š
But seriously, yeah, I’d looked at the spreadsheet once, but didn’t revisit before posting… so… probably my fault.
Matt, youāre the only one confused on the levels vs categories.
Because one of them wasn’t covered in the thread, only in the spreadsheet. And I’m having a rough week. Lemme alone!
Level 1 is those six categories. A Level 1 sort leaves you with 6 āsortedā bins and an angry LUG. (Probably)
Indeed; that was my frustration last Saturday exactly. We spent some time sorting Level 1, but then rushed to build (and why not? We are under a deadline and had/have a lot to do!) Thus, my building effort was not very fruitful, even with Joe pulling some parts out of the “gray and black” bin for me. Obviously, since we all only have so much LEGO time, we can’t expect to sort the entire LUG inventory to Level 4 / 5, at least not any time soon. But, if we hold a few more sorting parties / have some more volunteers to at least get to Level 3 with some stuff over the holidays, we might be in a much better position next time we try to have a “let’s build a ginormous train layout with a town and a winter village and mountains again, mountains, Gandalf!” kind of party.
