Let me tell you, make sure your creations *fit* into the plastic containers,
don't put them with one side in the air!
I once took my lego town house (er, mansion) by car. Actually, I asked my mom
to bring the mansion to me by car. Well, she isn't an expert on lego (now
that's the understatement of year :) and she tucked in the house in a box -
only prob, it was too big (built on 4 32x16 baseplates) and she put part of it
sort of in midair. The long and short of it is, it didn't survive much after
that... :-( Especially when we reached my Aunt's house with my amazingly cute
but unimaginabley terrorizing 3 year old cousin (three at the time that is)
and, well, the remains where plundered even more :-)
So be careful with your creations! We don't want anything to happen to them!
