- I take on a 5lb Sterilite drawer full of vintage LEGO pieces that are old enough to be from my childhood or even earlier.

10:54 the middle "support" is actually click hinges stacked up so those could go in a hinge drawer.
Good Saturday Evening Greg!! This set is so neat!! That app is wonderful...to be able to research a lego part that easily is such a Great asset to have. The Misfit Drawer of Lego. What a Fantastic sorting episode!! I hope Saturday night has been a great one!! 😀 ⛄
The white cone with the red stripped lines is a wind sock used in the vintage lego airport sets. You definitely found some gems in this drawer. You're really getting it done buddy. Keep it up!
Thanks for the info Brad
Love watching these Greg! I feel the same way when I go through bulk Lego. It’s such a great way to learn old and new parts alike and the lego history of them! It’s so interesting!
2:26 I believe it is a bionicle head connector.
No it’s a light up piece
You can use the Bricksie method of sorting. 3 boxes of small, mid and big bricks. And sort them all for only 1 month.
I found a brick I purchased from the bulk bins at a local Lego resale store and thought it was fake since the red color was off and the underside wasn't made like a current Lego brick. But it had LEGO on all the studs which surprised me, so it must be from a long time ago. You just never know unless you check a piece really well.
Yay, more or less vintage stuff. Gotta love this. That poor jack 4629c01, it was my fav Lego part back in '80s.
I found another one in there that was in good shape. That’s a fun little contraption!
Greg the orange transparent piece is Lego if you press the button it will light up
Out of all the Lego collections that you are going to sort through which one is the most interesting one to you
I would love to have all Aquasharks sets. I only have the smallest one I bought as a kid back in the mid 90's.
@brickitect
Window piece , could that be part “windscreen 21” from 1974?
At first i thought the orange part was from a lid from one of the bionicle cups/tubes/containers, but it was answered here in other reactions.
You know there are size sorting trays for lego? Stackable wooden trays with different size holes in them to sift the parts from big to smal. It think something like that could help.
Maybe DIY something like that?
You should do the bin with the airplane wing
I read a book to my class this week that had a reading rainbow logo on the front (remember seeing that plastered on books!?) and I told my class that seeing that logo meant this was a GOOD book. I told them reading rainbow was a show when I was younger and one girl said “you mean when YOU were OUR age!!?” Hahaha. Then I looked up the copyright on the book and it was 1992. I was born 1988 and the class I teach is 4 year olds so I really was their age! Haha I like the looking up of the old pieces and seeing the sets it’s from.
That's awesome! Good to see the show still helping kids in the 2020s!
For me, anything before LEGO did the color change from the old light and dark grays to the currently "blueish gray" variants I consider to be vintage. So basically around 2004 is the cutoff for vintage.
Cant wait untill your next video greg. There always 10/10
Thanks buddy! Always appreciate you leaving a nice comment
That one trans orange that look like that had the battery in it it was a piece from bionicle for the head
Do you ever get tempted to try and part together some of the older sets when you find some of the key pieces from those sets, rather than part out all the pieces?
I’m very sure he did
Yep. Usually when I find several from the same set. Not much luck with these bins, but the upcoming ones will have lots of goodies in them.
@@brickitect I would be really conflicted doing what you are doing! On the one hand I would find it immensely satisfying putting all the parts away into their respective trays/drawers but on the other hand the "completer/finisher" in me would see a key part from a set and then spend hours trying to see how much of that set was present in the box! Basically I would only have got through about 2lbs of Lego by now 😂
I record the pieces in rebrickable (takes a while), it then tells you how much of a set you have, and what pieces you still need
I would piece together sets to my mental detriment from all this. Enjoy!
Greg, the trans-orange piece you thought wasn't Lego is a Bionicle Piraka brain stalk. And they light up too!
Thanks for the info! Saved it
@brickitect Your welcome! Does it still light up?
I’m sorting while watching you sort lol tackling all my 1x1s and cheese slopes
Nice! Keep up the good work
Hey Greg I just joined your patreon Greg’s extras hope your having a great day
Thanks for the support! Very much appreciated!
I particularly liked the windscreen that was turned into a dozer. Great example of legonuity
Absolutely! I wouldn’t have thought of that.
2:29 bionicle heqd pièce goes inside the soft plastic heqd
hey greg your doing good!
I thought i posted some comments on this video and i dont know where they got posted. Must be late. Let me know if you find them or i can repost them.
2:24 that's a Piraka eyestalk. It's Lego.
Hey Greg nice job with the sorting, what mocs are you going to build after you finish all of your sorting?
My biggest goal is a junk UCS millennium Falcon. Other than that, I’m going to use Instagram and Reddit for inspiration. Also hope to build some sets without spending any money.
What's the name of that app that you take a picture of and it takes you to bricklink to find out what set it belongs to?

@@brickitectthanks
In case You will find some pieces worth saving you can use hydrogen dioxide to restore yellowed old lego pieces to their original colors, just put pieces into a bowl with hydrogen dioxide and give them a sunbath :). It works great with "old" white (made with different type of plastic as far as I know) and old grays. Your videos are great to watch in the background while I sort my own small collection. Keep up the good work, and good luck with containers full of bricks and plates (I personally would sort all pieces from one lot, sorting just bricks or tiles would be too boring and irritating for me, You must have a lot of patience!)
Thanks. I’ve done it with white pieces before. I actually bought a special bottle just for items like this. I also used it on my old starting lineup figures that had yellowed. Thank you for tuning in. I appreciate the support!
Do you have a entire bin for battle droid arms
I do haha
@ I would love to see it in one of the vids when you get more arms
Nice
Hey Greg just wanted to let you know that sorting Lego burns calories! (Doing stuff that challenges or making it work hard burns calories) So you could call this your work out
Burning calories and getting all this processed? Sounds like a win to me!
if that one piece is from cloud city and you find the minifigs you could get at least 5,000 dollars
I don’t have them unfortunately
Don't loose the little flag with the dragon on ,think it only came in two sets in the eightys and is kind of valuable.
Nice! I have it
15 years to 20 years counts as retro
It’s crazy to think that 2005-10 is vintage but that really was a long time ago when you think about it.
You should right down the sets you find
maybe you could save the big bins and the cool bins for clarks summer break so you guys could both have fun
I’m really hoping to be done by the time he gets out of school. Then we can build together.
The year 2015 is vintage anything g after is not vintage
2015 seems like yesterday. Yikes!
Video recommendation: any of @shytimeismytime 's Sitting on a Stoop podcast episodes!
I believe 20 years old is vintage. 🫵👍✌️
Nice
