Lego building as a hobby

Seems like splitting the pieces into different bags defeats some of the challenge.
Lol, idk. If it's more than like 1k pieces, I would not want to deal with that much sorting. For 5200 pieces, I'm glad it's broken out into 40 bags. It helps keep things organized and it also makes it easier for me to pace myself. I'll stop and take breaks between bags.
