¿Question #3946?
skelebone: Do you individually bag your components, or do you just keep them in the insert as designed?

ocdspectrum: If there is a good insert, I use it.
Demon Jim: Both. If the insert if made perfectly for the component then I will not bag. If there is no insert or if the compartment is to big then I will bag.
Felimid: Before the first play of the game, as boxed. After the first play of the game, bagged (if I have any).
Caerid: Depends on the game, so. . . both.
axeme: Bag them, or better yet, Plano them. I'm a bit of a organizing nut.
Woelf: Depends on the game. If the insert is good I'll use it, but some stuff still needs to be bagged.
Spirit of 70: Bag.
sjane: I individually bag my components.
scrub: I put everything in GMT trays now. Or Plano.
jp21763: bag
RustanR: Sometimes bag in ziplocks if needed, often remove the freaking inserts.
Aarontu: I usually try to do both. Bag loose pieces. Keep as many in inserts as possible.
Tyrfing: Depends on the game, mostly I add zip bags and on good ones I add boxes to keep the material. If the inlay is good, I keep it.
Randy Cox: Both.
Polgara: depends
Aldie: I pretty much bag everything and occasionally throw out the insert if there's not enough room.
mintylish: I bag unless the insert is very very good (in most games the slots are too shallow).
zoe79: We have cool little tackle type boxes for all our bits and chits...it looks so organized....Ahhhh!
Harkonnen13: I bag them.
paattymaton: bag
Patticus: insert usually
ponchera69: ziplock, ziplock, ziplock
gbohrer: Bag
DHEK: Yes, I bag them usually. But only if using it would be better that way, i.e. the inserts don't do as good a job as bags.
AMorgan: I've always left them in the insert.
TheArchAngel: bag them so I won't lose them
aleo09: try to use baggies
Beyak: keep them in the insert if one is available, or bag individually if an insert is not available
Sandy Petersen: I bag 'em.
Geosphere: depends on the game
Ebon Wendigo: Depends
SanguinousRex: Individually bag, especially in the case of HeroScape!
POvidiusNaso: Bag, unless I don't have any more.
dsmeyer: bagged
Numskull: It depends on how neatly they fit into the insert. If the cards are regular playing card sized or slightly smaller, I sleeve them, regardless.
mpw182: if the insert had nice dividers to hold them properly, not just in one big jumble
tagger418: Bag
scooterkdavis: bag
Leo-T: Bags.
7ofAnn: Most of the time I keep the inserts as they were designed

f-p-p-m: Depends on the insert.
bigbadsteve: it depends on the game. some games are much smoother to play if everything is presorted
SisyphusX: I bag 'em.
dmomo: B
BobMaysJr: In most cases, I'd hesitate to use "designed" to describe the insert. Zip-Loc is the way to go!
Burnham: depends what game
nexttothemoon: Mostly keep them in inserts
scriptorum: If the insert works, I use the insert. A lot of times it seems like the insert is a prefab piece that doesn't fit the bits well.
Thosw: Depends on the insert.
hacksword: I use a separate labelled bag for each piece and never take pieces out of the bag. Small pieces I double-bag just in case.
defcon311: Baggies!
marshalljansen: We always re-bag components to make setup easier.
Helenoftroy: most always bag them
andrewp: if they come in bags they stay in them otherwise as designed
mrspank: Keep them in the insert
baldrick: Individually bag them
Chris Page: Both.
hkishel: Bag um.
Kazin: Individually sort them.
jasta6: individually bag them...........................
Favre4MVP: If it's a nice insert I'll keep them there. Otherwise, it's baggie time.
scribidinus: I dump all the components to all my games into one big trashbag and throw away the original boxes.
Fawkes: Bag.
Syrion: Bags. Or, in the case of Settlers of Catan, [i]tiny boxes[/i]. (Do italics work here?)
Loquutus: as designed
puffinge: no bagging for me
Unitbuster: Bag 'em
dietevil: bags if I've got them
ZombyDawg: bags
ssmooth: If the insert "works" (as I define "works") I use it. But usually I wind up splitting the difference, some things bagged, other pigeonholed in the insert.
djlg: Use the insert if its good, but nearly everything ends up bagged.
beakermyers: Depends
SteveK2: insert if it works, bags otherwise
dakarp: I keep them in the inserts when at all possible.
Longbow: bag
jellospike: I bag them
cloudstalkerian: individualy sandwhich bag, darn perfectionism
skrutsch: some of each
obob: frag tag 'em, bag 'em.
snoozefest: bag
chaddyboy_2000: If the insert is goo, I use it. If not, bag.
Legend Dan: Insert
sourwyrm: individually bag
Lord_Prussian: In the insert if that is enough. If it helps set up, I'll bag 'em.
jttm: Depends on how loose they get / travel...
CortexBomb: It depends on the game. If setup is significantly shortened by individual bags I go with them, if not I leave things as they came
sos1: Usually bags
CDRodeffer: If the insert is useful, I use it. If it's useless or non-existent, I bag. Fantasy Flight has useless inserts, for example.
Spielfreak: yes. It depends on the game.
skelebone: I keep most components in the inserts and materials provided, but I have purchased some games from an individual who does bag all of the components and it is quite nice. Perhaps in time and with effort, I may do the same.
