More recently, I also got out my old boxes of Knex, which I'd put away a decade ago by sorting the parts by color into about a dozen quart-size ziploc bags (there are far fewer variants of Knex than of Lego, even ignoring the myriad custom tiles and stickers).

I have been building with my 6yo, and he has the traditional giant bin where all the sets of Creator pack of assorted bricks, plus the sets from Ninjago and Spider Man and Minecraft and various cars and so on all get disassembled after about 3 days for him to dig through. Made for a very doable build, even given pretty hefty physical limitations. So each of the 6 sections I basically built on a hardback book. the main lines are there as strings, and do hang in a true catenary. Luckily, the Titanic actually builds as 6 sections, with 3 pairs that join more or less permanently, while there are then a couple of pins and rods that hold the whole thing together (along with a rather clever tensioning gear. I was recovering from foot surgery so stuck in bed. Killed a month off and on putting that thing together. So I built the whole thing with two tupperware containers.one decent size square 'bowl' and s much smaller one for the tiny stuff. Often there's be a smaller bag inside for holding the 1x1 stuff. When I built Titantic last year (first Lego I'd done in maybe 30 years) it was split out over dozens of small bags, and all the parts you'd need for one section would be in that one bag with no more than, say, 200 pieces in it. I'm guessing that back in the day it all came in one bag?
