			<content type="html"><![CDATA[[quote=legogod]May I ask why you pulled arms off torsos and legs off of the waists? This seems a bit extreme (to me, at least) as pulling and stuffing them back on tends to weaken the bond of the arm joints. I've had a waist pin break on me a couple of times from not having the leg lined up right. These two parts of the minifigure are the most vulnerable and susceptible to breakage. 

Other than that - it looks like you've done a good job sorting. 

Have fun,

It dose weaken them a bit, but I have not had a problem so far(and I have sorted my minefigs before).]]></content>

As for stuff to sort them into, flat toolboxes are really useful. Here's what I use:

could I use bags?[/quote]

Bags will work (I use them for some things), but obviously boxes would be better. As of right now I could not afford purchasing anymore organization and storage boxes so I took several that I already had and then improvised from there with whatever I had (bags, shoeboxes, other containers, etc) As Hazzat said, it is time consuming. In the end though I think its well worth the effort.]]></content>
