James Simpson wrote that he was a tinkerer that liked the
old Universal Sets.
Some years ago, I found a beat up 8062 case with all the parts
still in bags. I used to take it on trips to help relax
on business trips.
Then I got into Mindstorms and started collecting like crazy.
I always needed 2 more wheels, or suspension parts, or ....
In the end, I spent more time sorting and fiddling than building.
Now I have a Plano 1258 Tackle Box with 5-3500 inserts. It easily
holds my Mindstorms and Code Pilot kits, and has room for a
reasonable robot chassis. I'm too busy to build lately, but a
half-finished chassis is waiting for me any old time.

My collection of 20 or so Plano 3700 boxes stuffed with Technic
and ZNAP lurks menacingly in the corner of my office....
As far as the perfect Universal kit, some like pneumatics, others
gears, so I'd never expect one perfect kit, but geez I wish that
TLG would make a new Universal Kit. Maybe not that they're
refocusing on their core business, they will.
