My LEGO Problem... Has to be Solved. Room VLOG 

I’m the type of person who needs to have things organized and in order. A big part of the content I enjoy in your videos is watching how you continuously manage the room to keep the collection in check. It’s a lot of work to keep organized!

I could never see myself letting it get that far gone, but if I did then I would take all the unsorted bulk, run it through the big sifter, and put the different levels into different bins. That way you have a bin of all the same size pieces. It is still unsorted, but it is more sorted and more bearable over having a bin will all sizes of pieces.

Suggestion to help : Make it a goal to not buy anymore LEGO sets or LEGO pieces until all your stuff is sorted 👍🏻❤️ then you might be more motivated to get it all done quicker, hope this might help you. Love your videos

Currently helping my boys sort/organize/rebuild their Lego. My 5 year old saw your "mess" of unsorted pieces and said "I would just do 1 box a day." So there ya go, kids are problem solvers. Just do a box a day and you'll have it all sorted in no time! 🤣🤣

Let’s get jordan to a million subs by 2024 he deserves and needs it ❤

It's oddly satisfying to watch the progress of sorting and cleaning up, even motivating. You should do a vlog series documenting the progress sorting your bulk parts and putting those wooden Lego sorting bins to work. I know it's a daunting and overwhelming task but just work through it slowly, 1 bin at a time. Honestly, you could probably save a lot of money if you just take the time to sort instead of placing Bricklink and PAB orders, because you likely have a lot of what you need and you may even find some hidden treasures - rare and useful parts, especially in your childhood lot; I spotted the sails from 6274 Caribbean Clipper @13:40, such a great little pirate ship.

I know the feeling having a large Lego collection, you end up spending half of your time sorting and tidying. But when everything is in order it’s so much easier to build. :)

Organizing ones miscellaneous bags and bins of LEGO parts is terrific and often rewarding! It’s almost like doing a Bricklink hall of stuff that you forgot you actually had. Lots of little nuggets rediscovered! 🤗

Yikes. Definitely need to sort those parts out. It's a lot of tedious work but it's a lot better than going to the LEGO store every time you think you're out and end up filling cups with parts you actually have but just haven't sorted out to find.

1 tip. Give those bins of unsorted miscelanious to a school. You haven't used it for years so you didn't miss it.

Rather than modifying the wall behind the rolling table you could just get some j hooks and attach them to the ceiling just in front of the wall. Then you have a sheet of canvas or something similar that you simply clip to that when you need it and otherwise roll up. Either that or a screen for a projector will do the same and let you keep the wall as is.

It's easy for folks to say take some time out to sort those bins, but being a full time RU-vidr, husband and father (too two adorable twins I would add) that finding time is near impossible! So many projects, editing, making content, whilst maintaining a relatively healthy work/life balance is tough I bet. Not sure I could do it. I find it tough at times with just the one bambino. Wicked content as always Jordan. Really enjoy these kind of vids. Sending blessings to you all.

I loved the part where you go “it’s solvin’ time” and you solve all over those bricks. Truly one of the vlogs of all time.

My 10 year old daughter and I recently finished sorting her Lego collection (which includes my childhood collection from the 90’s, my brothers’s Lego from the 80’s, many sets she received as gifts, and a gigantic bin of unsorted Lego we bought at a thrift store). It was super satisfying to finish and we’ve been building cool stuff. We built the Lego Friends cat hotel and the 3 in 1 birdhouse using only parts we already owned. I recommend finding someone who loves sorting to help out. I find it relaxing.

I appreciate that you always go out of your way to clearly explain what types of furniture/names of styles/places you shop for inserts/etc. you use. Thanks 🙏

@Bricksie - just systematically remove old build models. So have a rule - to build someting new - need to replace (destroy) something new. Also you can sell dissasembled stuff to fans. Also you can create pools - when fans decide - which structure should be repaced by something new. Lego sorting machine built from lego to sort unsorted bricks from boxes automatically?

For the cords, my first thought was using empty paper towel rolls and toilet paper rolls for each cord, labelling the roll on the outside. Now I want to do that for my own cords! Not the most attractive idea but they'll be hidden in the drawer anyway and less likely to get tangled. Another thought was to have Simon take maybe one hour per shift (or more if he enjoys it) to sort Lego and it will soon be done. You have motivated me to go do some decluttering so thank you!

Your Silly Heads, put them behind your carbage bin, in one or two towers. Then fill them with various overflow plant materials, that way you know, one tower has leaves, one has medium leaves, one big leaves, ect, ect. Could even go with a three tower, if so wanted. Think a bit. Like using them for your builds, while you are on the location, as a mobile storage bin or perhaps the sorting bins for separating sets for your MOC's. That would help you in the future, I guess.

15:00 I think that's your real biggest problem. You've got so much unsorted lego stored away, that you actually forgot about having them. When you're having a new idea to build really awesome stuff, like you usually do, you're in dire need of parts. But you forgot you already have them. So you go and order them - even though you already have them. And by doing so you're multiplying the parts you already have, don't sort out and forget about them again, leading to next time you've got an idea, you order pieces again... making things worse. (I''ve been there, too, so I understand the problem). TLDR: sort your lego bricks, seriously, damnit.

Linnemon has sadly been discontinued, so make sure you hang onto that is nice big one! I had to go w 7 smaller ones when I did my room 2-3 years ago. Looking good!

You can shift the dustbin from it’s place and place it under the table after this you can place another table with wheels in place of the dustbin and keep your winter college on it. When ever you want to open the drawers you can move the table.

Jordan, you really need to just take the time and sort for a day or two. You are needlessly spending money on parts when you probably have what you are looking for already. You just keep adding to the mess. Just take the time and get er done! Talk about a way to save money for the new place. This is the way!

Great video as always. I’m always looking forward to your morning videos. Best way to go with a cup of coffee. I’d love to take them silly heads off your hands. My kids would love it in there room to add there legos in. I’ll pay for shipping too! So hope you had a great birthday and best wishes to you and your family.

I am following you on this little journey bc if you saw my basement currently- mind you, I literally used to live there- and now I can barely walk thru it. Soooooooo I am watching and taking notes on what works for my space & what I like etc- dude I feel your pain- idk how you have the energy to get it all done, but I can say I am quite impressed! I wish I could find the wide sterilite drawers for smaller pieces- I really do think they discontinued them- or have come out with something in its place- all I know is none of it works for what I need right now lol. Excellent job! I am thinking I’m gonna neee to take out a loan in order to get my space live able again lol

12:40 "oh Simon!"

My brother has quite a few Lego sets over the years. We kept the parts separate for each set in bags, but they do need storing. Best to split them up and organise by parts into bins I’m guessing? Or keep them as separate sets?

Maybe repurpose silly heads into toy bins for the twins???

12:52 I would love to sort it all out its kind of a relaxing thing to do and very satisfying when done!

I like how organized it is

13:39 My heart started racing when i saw the crumpled up sails for the caribbean clipper i had as a kid just casually laying there. My mom gave it away after i moved out and I always wished i still had it. Do you plan on doing anything with them? Cause i would be very happy to own them again. Thank you for the great channel 👍

Love the videos Bricksie! It does make me a little crazy watching you “reorganize” all your bulk parts every few months instead of just taking a couple days to sort through them haha.

You might need to set some personal restraint/ goals to make sure the bulk gets dealt with before it gets even larger. Like before placing a bricklink/ PAB order you have to sort a bin. Will be less stressful than trying to tackle all at once.

I need some road plats to finish my small diorama and i live in redwater Alberta which is close to Edmonton

Hello, really enjoy your vlogs.. not criticizing just suggestion: pick a month April, May, maybe June don’t buy any parts and sort... must sort and organize before the move... before the month you pick, if you buy then sort that evening... but try to slow down the part buying as you get to the no parts buying month... love the city!

DONT YOU *DARE* GET RID OF THE SILLY HEADS!! You need to find a better way to use them as part of the overall decor and vibe of the studio, c'mon man, I love the silly heads, I'm so jealous

Cord storage - you want pencil cases - clear ones if possible

That's hilarious, I have that same Friends boat in a bin of unsorted Lego as well.

I absolutely love the silly heads their looking funny and I never saw them before, from where did you got them? 😂

Briskie, an idea for organizing your cables is to get some velcro from a craft store and the wind up the cords and secure them with the velcro. It will allow you to place the cords in the draw in a more organized manner.

This makes my little old OCD/ADHD heart burst as I love sorting and organising. I would LOVE that much spare Lego. Maybe you should have a Lego sorting party?

Looks like there’s space for three more purple handle bins. You should put the silver handles and white bins together. Just so it looks symmetrical. Don’t throw away those smaller empty bins yet, great for sorting. Nice organizing overall. Thank you 👍🏽👏🏽🧹

Lookup velcro cord ties. They will help with the organization of the cords.

Congratulations on your organization!! Keep up the great work!!

The solution isn’t more containers and a change in set-up for the millionth time. The solution is a more organized and methodical way of working.

You roasting the sillyheads is so funny 😂

Random: a probable reason why that one drawer is taller is because of the carpet tack strip that runs along the outside of the carpet against walls. Since that’s a corner, it’s on top of a tack strip on the back and side of the drawer. Also why the front corner of that drawer closest to the other drawers is closer to being level with those other drawers.

Do you remove dust from your Lego city? How do you do it?

Definitely agree about getting rid of the silly heads.

Have you thought of using the inner tubes of toilet and kitchen rolls to order the cables fold them inside the tubes. I use them for my cables far neater

I have the same man, need to have things sorted before can continue. It has all the reasoning, its hard to build something in chaos. On a bright side, you at least found some long lost pieces :) Good things going I cant believe you still walk around Rivendell set there and havent even opened it. OMG man u are mad :P Put cables in string bags or tie them with rubber wire

Lagkapten is teamcapten 2:16

12:46 that hurted my soul ... and some PTSD amd when i started sorting out my legos thats when i noticed on the BIG amount of pieces i had and legit didnt knew and even some knock off that i sent to trash and even some rare pieces i had that were given from family friends

I will be one impressed viewer if you manage to get all of that sorted. I know the feeling - it just gnaws at you. but it will take a REALLY long time to sort all of that and put it away. You're going to run out of space, have to come up with other solutions, etc. It never ends!

I am retired and wish I lived closer to you (I live in Oregon). I would love to sort all those extra pieces you have. Good luck!

Man, here I was thinking I was out of room and started breaking down sets to make space. I have nearly filled a 26-liter tub and I thought that was a lot. Then Bricksie goes and pulls out 9 of them. There are days I envy you. But not the sorting. I am not looking forward to sorting my single tub. Good luck, just keep sorting.

For the misc cords see if can order Velcro cords for the cords need for keep

I'm from Norway, which borders Sweden, and I can tell you that "Lagkapten" can be translated to Team Captain 😄

Empty paper towel rolls are great for organizing power cords

You should auction the silly heads as mystery boxes on whatnot. Put some surprise sets, mini figs and pieces in there.

I love the silly heads where they are!

A commercial property definitely is in the future for you, my friend.

so much lego , would you ever do a bricklink store ? well I know you have one . but like sell all kinds of little peaces ? or is it not good at the moment for you ? + you would need more space lol like WAY MORE SPACE hahah keep up the great work. 👍

Where do you get your containers that go in your sterilite bins?

Wrap the cables up and put them in empty toilet paper rolls to keep them separate. You can also write on the rolls if you need to label them

That would be a dream for me like (OMG!!!) Legos are like heaven

I would love to sort all of those legos for you! ❤😊

I'd like to book a trip and sort EVERYTHING for you LOL I love sorting stuff omg

Happy Sorting 😂

I need a container shop in my life!!!!!!!

wow, i would love thiis much lego, i dont have any rn, ive only gotten into lego in the past week and i want some so bad😯😯

Cables are awesome in little seethrough plastic bags. Then they dont tangle up and are easy to see.

Just 1 box to sort at a time. But set a timer and do it in stages ie 1 or 2 hr time blocks.

This was a great video, I love all your vids and I can’t wait to see you work on the Lego city more

This makes me think of myself, when I neatly pile my dirty dishes to make it look neat because I'm too lazy to wash them sometimes haha

I think if you host a lego sorting day, your canadian fans would probably happily help. Like rent a place for 2-3 days and invite them there.

Roll up your cables one by one, press it in the middle and put some rubberband on it. I have lots more than you and all stored in 1 shoe box 😉

Silly head idea! Do a signed silly head giveaway on the channel!!!

I would love to help organize!

if your still interested in parting ways with the silly heads, our family is in the market for a few.

Jordan there is a cheap technique to raise the buildings instead of Mills plates you could use cardboard

If you do get rid of any of the silly heads, I would love to purchase one from you!!

Jordan you are a LEGO hoarder LoL !!!!😂😂😂 i would like to go and help you sort all that lego madness !!!!

Awesome vlog. Once you sort all your pieces, you probably won't need to order half the pieces you need. You should make a playlist of all your organizing videos

Great video! Buy some Velcro wraps to bundle up each cord. Home Depot in the hardware department…

My lego room is trashed right now. Cat knocked over a table with a lamp on it. Kids sets and parts are scattered and there are many bins of unsorted or partially sorted pieces. Def need time & energy for a spring cleaning soon! EDIT: Have you considered paying your assistant with bricks to help you sort? LOL. I've spent thousands, bought over 20k bricks in the past 2 years, but my unsorted parts are only 1% of what you have! And your unsorted is only about 5% of your total inventory. You're a brick millionaire (have a million bricks, not $ lol) for sure!

I've got an idea for the mansion. What if you add a fireman's pole leading to the garage from the second floor?

Where did all your bulk unsorted lego come from? Is it all sets you once built and decided to take them apart?

Just go and sort a few days. You will be happy, because you will find so much great pieces and things you did'nt remember :D

Looking much better, now listen here son, you are not allowed near the lego store until you have sorted all your parts and cleaned up your room .lol oh I wish I was there to help . Your lego sorters will come in handy hey .

Holy fish sticks, batman. You won't have to place another parts order for years if you part that all out.

You got to keep those silly heads, they will look great in the new space

Your grey wall with mini figs that you said you are going to revamp... How do you mount those grey plates on the wall?

Give the Silly Heads to the twins. Soon enough, they will need storage for toys.

yoo bricksie! just found your content on youtube, i think you are super awsomeeee :) my saterday night couldnt be any better! greetz from holland (amsterdam) keep it up can not wait for more funny storrys in you lego cityyyyyy

Try twist ties for the cables.

I love sorting, if I would live closer I would happily sort it for you!

I love these videos!! I know the editing must suck but I could watch you talk about your lego messses all day lmao. {I love the longer videos!!}

positive progress is looking amazing, looking forward to the next update

Bricksie. Sorry but I'm going to mess with your head now. Taking 4 boxes of unsorted Lego and putting them in one bigger box does not sort the problem. You are moving around a problem and the dealing with the smaller boxes will be easier. Wish I could help you because I am very OCD about this.

looks well organized. nice work
