    Sorry bcos its my 1st time using IS toolbar to upload and thanks to Bobby on how to use it.

    The set contains 4 smaller boxes and guess wad... the packet count is hugh and is numberless. So sorting it was like hell. Sorry cant show the minifigs yet bcos they are all separated in different packets.


    Packets of small parts, studs, 1x1, 1x2 etc.


    Those lying on the floor are the medium sized pieces, slopes, variety of bricks and those impossible to describe parts


    These are the larger base plates packets which i need to fit to a box bcos the entire floor of the room will be filled if not.


    This basement construction took me 2 hours to complete due to the parts are difficult to find from the heap of plastic packets.

    I realised having lotsa of trays helped. I bought half dozen white (same type for stacking purposes) trays from Daisho. It's even better if you have curved bottom trays (easy to pick up 1x1 pieces). So i'll unpack and sort them out (bricks, plates, smooth plates, small pieces) on the trays immediately. Working from trays means no rollings off the table too. Then you can stack up all these trays if you stop halfway. Working from plastic bags is no good as you may scratch the pieces (smooth or windscreen pieces).

    Enjoy building!

    suplaplap is right.

    Trays would save a lot of time when it comes to sorting.

    Also, you won't lose that much pieces with them Tongue

    GoodKat "Your answer is just below"

    Bobby "Yes have almost all the major sets of Indy series from Lost Ark to Crystal skull except planes and jungle cutter, dont like them though"

    Lion Kun "BBT is selling way off the charts, got this with a help from a fren living in Johor, i tink he bought it from Lion city sale gua.. fo just RM 1700. Big diff wif BBT about RM 2399 not mistaken"

    Suplaplap & Admin "Will take your advice, didnt thought of it bcos this is the 2nd largest set i got so far. The 1st is on its way and will definetely get those trays"

    For the record, took me almost 30 hours to complete but enjoyed every moment of it to see it taking its shape. Cheesy
