For those of you wondering what a Plano® tackle box is here is a wed site with
some good pics. (http://www.hempeldesigngroup.com/lego/storage/index.html)

Thanks for the kind words. At least its not a wet site....

For those of you that saw me at Mindfest, you may have noticed a rather
large tackle box I was carrying. It's the Plano 1258 Guide Box. See
<http://www.planomolding.com> for more info.

What's great about this box is that the top is trans-blue so you can see
inside. The dividers go up to the top of the lid so parts don't migrate.
The dividers are movable.

Inside the tackle box, there is room for up to 5 of the Plano 3500 series
clear boxes - smaller versions of the 3700 I use at home. Great for
fiddly bits.

There is also a compartment big enough to hold an IR tower and RCX in
bubble wrap. Finally, there is a compartment that can hold a decent sized robot
safely.

Did I mention it fits under an airplane seat?

I think this is an IDEAL box for the Mindstorms kit. There's enough room to
put, say, an 8062 universal kit in with it for more model types. Now I'll
have to post a web page for RCX storage...sigh.

Cheers,
