<looks around> Is anybody here.................................
Anyway, on with the show...
Does anyone else reuse the polybags from LEGO sets? I'm currently packing
away a very large collection of sets and when packing a set, I first put the
pieces in an appropriately sized polybag or polybag before placing them in
the respective box.
It's time consuming but a good way of recycling LEGO packaging materials.

Hi there
(isn't this more of a storage issue?)
I like your idea of recycling Lego packing materials and
I agree it is helpful to divide up Lego that is "resting",
but the polybags have one thing missing; a way to keep them
closed. I find 8x8 ziplock style baggies work really good
for this.
later!

I'm beginnning to use ziplock bags a lot more now. Although it is possible
to reuse the polybags one or two times, they can get into a pretty bad shape
after a while.
On the other hand they don't represent an extra cost that ziplock bags do
(except for the selotape to secure the bags tight).

Yeah.....apologies for the delay.....It's taking longer than I would have
liked.

Heh... I turn them back in packing materials. :)
They squish real good, and weigh less that an equivalent squishyness of paper.
YMMV

I need to reverse my trade deficit so I can use up the packing I'm
saving. I have no need to save polybags for packing...
