Overlord Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 If I don't have as much time, I open the bags in order (if they have an order). Mostly if I have time, though, I just dump all the bags into one huge pile. :PThat's assuming I build the set at all.~:~ Quote "YOU'D THINK, FOR BEING A DEAD MAN, I'D BE MORE TRIUMPHANT THAN I AM."

ankyfdarkness Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 Bag by bag is the way I always build. Just seems like the simplest way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~Xemnas~ Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 If the set has multiple bags, I tend to keep piles of what was in each bag. But if it's something simple like a small Hero Factory set (like Evo 2.0, for example) I'll probably not use the instructions.

that guy from that show Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 I'm super OCD, I open one bag at a time and I have the word lego on each stud face the same direction. Quote That is all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kopekemaster Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 I pour out the bags (separately) into a shallow container so none of the pieces can get away.

X-Ray Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 I usually open all of the bags, put the stuff in a pile, and then follow the instructions. I usually end up with a few extra pieces, but that's all right. X-Ray Quote "Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves.

Rausaro Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 I go bag-by-bag, following the instructions. I'll occasionally just dump all the pieces together if it's a smaller set. Basically this.Same here, though occasionally I dump all the bags into one pile. Quote The Redwall RPG; closed nowUpdate: RPG has migrated to another location and merged with another.

LewaLew Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 If it's a small set, I just dump it out and build it with a mix of guesswork and instructions, but with larger sets, like, say, the T-1 Typhoon, I sort everything first, by color, and then follow the instructions to the letter.

~Shockwave~ Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 I build my sets one piece at a time, just like everybody else. only I do it logically.

Sybre Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 I just dump the parts onto the table or something and immediately start building it. It may not be the best strategy because some parts could get lost underneath the other parts.I used to do that, but now I just go bag by bag.That's what I did with the 2012 Star Wars Skiff.

Blair the Cat Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 Very carefully. But really, I mostly just dump everything on the floor and start building. However, when I build things with my brother I just sort the peices while he actually builds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mistergryphon Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 *dumps out parts into huge pile**pays little brother a shiny quarter and some minifigures to play with to organize by color**looks at box and challenges self to build without instructions* The third part is the most difficult, but it works fairly often.

TahuForever! Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 (edited) Well... I remember this one time, way back when, when I got the original Millenium Falcon set from 1999. I was much younger at the time, and I decided to dump every bag into one huge pile. Yeah, that was a mistake, but I had a ton of fun, if some amount of frustration, sitting there for 4 hours straight building it. Nowadays, when the bags are numbered, which they often are, I guess I generally don't open bag 2 until I've finished bag 1, unless I feel like it. Other than that, and when the bags aren't numbered, I open all the bags at once, but keep the piles seperated. Then I put 'em together, piece by piece.
