LEGO Display & Storage Solutions | Ask Bricksie 18

Today I showcase all of the fixtures that I use to display and store LEGO - this is a very commonly asked question so I figured it needed and in-depth overview! Over the years I have tried many different shelves, tables, bins, and organizing systems, and I've gotta say that I think I have nailed it down here in 2023. I start by talking about all of the displays- bookcases, wardrobe units, TV cabinets, floating shelves, and track shelves. In addition to the display units I also discuss LEGo city tables and reminisce about the many years of trial and error with that. After, I get into LEGO storage solutions by featuring all of the drawer units, acrylic bins, and storage totes. There are so many different ways to store, sort, organize, and display LEGO and the ones featured in the video are some of my favorites.

Make sure if you go into a Container Store that you announce "I can't contain myself!" The staff love hearing that =)

I'm working on watching your videos from the beginning. Its fun to see how your city has changed and how your content has changed. You get better every year Bricksie. Keep up the awesome work. How do you feel your life has changed since the beginning? Did you think you would be where you are when you first started?

[Stickfigure]

Thank you for being so detailed and giving so many great ideas and great advice in general!

[JesusGreaves-by]

this is honestly the biggest Lego room I've ever seen l don't think anyone has a Lego room bigger than this one I can see why he worked so hard on bringing to what we all see before us today

[TedtheRed]

Really enjoy your videos and content.

Not sure if you have Dollar Tree near you in Canada but they carry the off brand building blocks. They have 32x32 base plates for $1.25ea here. They are inexpensive enough to not feel bad about cutting a row of studs off to fit your IKEA shelves.

This is an incredibly helpful video, thank you!

The middle shelf, the one you can't move, is like that for stability. The whole idea is ingenious really. You have an amazing collection by the way. Very nice. Congrats

[warrennewman]

Fantastic lego room niceI IKEA tables and units

[Leila]

ha! just watching your videos from 2020, as you bought this house and started to create the room and the city. a long journey with finding out, what is the best for you and your room. good job!

[Abaddon_]

I had heard from another channel that you can use washers between the Billy bookcase shelf brackets and it gives it just enough room to fit the third baseplate. It might be worth a try!

[donnalajoie]

Great video.very helpful for me. Thanks

[HyitsSmee]

I enjoy watching your videos and look forward to them each and every day.
As a suggestion, the wall behind the amusement park has room for a shelf, although it would be a huge pain to get in there and put in brackets. You could then build like the tan wall you sample showed us, along the back of the railroad track and up to the lower shelf, about six to eight inches tall. Holy crow that would be a ton of building. I did notice in an earlier video you mentioned having five police stations, I'm not sure if they are all separte sets, but Iremeber there were two across the street from one another. That sound like the Starbucks in downtown Vancouver. They are three stories tall and are kitty corner from each other on Robson St. Keep up the great work, give the family a hug from me.

Love this thank you sure has helped me design my new room

[patrany]

Great organization. Found your video while looking for ideas for my grandson’s room. I hate the fact that it is so hard to dust the Lego’s and the shelves he has because they are out in the open and collect lots of dust. I will continue to look to see if I can find glass covered shelving or acrylic. I need something that keeps the dust out but it is a nice, see-through display for his room.

You can easily add shelves to your cabinets by using your scraps. Just cut two pieces to the height you would like your shelf then place them on there sides on each side then place your shelf on top. You can easily stack theses. Maybe place double sided tape to hold them against the cabinet side. You most likely would not need this though.

Hey Jordan you have made one heck of a good setup have to say is pretty awesome. Have a thought to run by you with the adjustable wall shelves you put up around your city lay out. Where you have the extra wall channel for the shelf mounting brackets you could get some white vinyl tape or something of the like to cover up the parts not used and blend into the walls better. One other thought I had was with your floor shelves what if you were to get rid of those and put up all the wall shelves to where you would have the maximum storage area and on inside corners be easy to run wires for led lights throughout. You could have various widths of shelves to accommodate everything and have much more flexibility on setting things in place. With you waiting a year or whatever for getting a warehouse space (which don't blame you as wouldn't rush into it) I feel you will soon be limiting your creativity for running out of space. Love what you do and happy to see you include your family time is awesome to see your little ones growing up so fast. Wishing you only the best.

Ask Bicksie: what do you think is the best lego Star Wars set?
Love your content by the way!!

[Data.Bricks]

I know the frustration of the 1 stud difference on the billy bookcase width vs 3 baseplates. I have a few modulars on mine and recently converted to mils for them so I could create a custom 31 stud wide plate for a MOC. Major pain to work around but the MILS allowed me to work around it

How do you clean your Lego city and stop dust?

[thatguyronaldo]

I just went to a Bick convention yesterday, really fun experience. I got to meet some people from brickerbuilds there and I actually bought the mosquito in amber set from them. Super fun build and a really fun convention. Needless to say I'm already looking into tickets for Brick world Chicago 2024.
