smell of solvent coming from inside. Presumably this is some sort of
solvent

I notice the same smell coming not from my Plano boxes, but from large
quantities of basic bricks stored in LEGO buckets or tubs.  I thought it
was the LEGO itself.


The smell is definitely not from the Lego, I made a point of checking the
new containers for the smell when I'd opened them for the first time, before
I'd put any Lego inside.

I think that the smell is just normal soft plastic outgassing. The plano
boxes are made of a fairly soft plastic, so I don't think it's styrene
or PVC.

Does anybody manufacture with PVC anymore?  I know that hard lessons were
learned by coin and sports card collectors when their album pages were made
from PVC.  But I thought that there were newer plastics that had eliminated
the need for PVC.  Not sure, just putting the idea out.



Ewww!!! What happened to the sports cards stored in PVC pages?
