This thing is tiny.  It's a bit bigger than my digital camera.  I filled it
with as many small bot-making parts that I could think of.  I like to think
of it as an emergency building kit.  Something you could put in your
backpack or throw in the glovebox for a road trip.

I chose to make 3 small bots (I figure I can make many more with the parts
left over) but you could also use the case to make larger bots with more
parts.  Also with just a little modification I bet you could set this up to
make microfig ships.  Or how bout a slightly larger case for micro-moonbase
construction?

Tell me what you think. :-)

  Interesting..most very interesting.  The idea of a portable Lego part
source specifically for making stuff like that is very appealing.  I think a
slightly larger box might work better, though, as it could carry more parts
in more colors..

Thanks man.  But I don't really think that a larger box would necessarily be
*better*, just a different building experience.  I specifically bought the
smallest case I could for this (with the most compartments) to see just how
much I could cram into it.  An experiment with a micro-collection.
