For those of you in Australia, there is a very, very similar product
available at K-Mart for around $10-$12 AUD. Sorry, but I don't remember it's
name. it comes in two handy compartment distributions and, like the Plano
product, has fully extended dividers so the pieces don't migrate between
compartments.
I have one slight concern about these molded plastic tackle boxes, which is
whenever I open one after about a week of being closed, there is a strong
smell of solvent coming from inside. Presumably this is some sort of solvent
used to mold the box, which leaks out of the plastic over a very long period
of time. I have a slight worry that the solvent may be of a type that would
attack the Lego's ABS, but so far I haven't seen any evidence of this. I
think that people should keep an eye of the surface appearance of their
stored pieces though, especially transparent pieces where I would expect any
change to be the most apparent.
Thanks,
Paul
