Legogal Posted January 13, 2012 Posted January 13, 2012 I, too, take most of the minifigs apart right away and build light flesh toned or darker women with the pieces for my collection. Don't care for the yellow skin tones. Store many torsos for this in separate containers by color so I can find them. Then I can easily build women (and men) figs for our MOCs. Most sets end up parted out and the bricks stored by color and size in large containers so they are ready for building. A few favorite sets stay built...the Taj Majal my husband lit up after a family build 4 Christmases ago. The Maersk container ship with its cool colors. And a few MOC's stay out....my Duplo doll/play houses are my favs at the moment. Getting ready to customize my 10 new Friends sets and place them in a shopping boutique layout. My son's fav MOC required about a zillion bricks; the Petronas Towers is on permanent display because hubby spent an entire weekend making a lighting harness and it looks splendid in our entryway with the Taj. Flip the wall switch and you have an LED spectacle! Son's goal is to build something from each country he has visited, so he is only behind 30 more builds at age 23. Forbidden City in Beijing has been more of a challenge than he expected. Do remember to keep your older trashed bricks separate from the newer ones or you MOC's will look horrible. Just finished sorting for the hundredth time the bricks our sons played with growing up, and they look terrible; can only be used for the interior of something where they are not visible. Good luck!
