I don't want to see a return of the older boxes. Older boxes are more
expensive and I would rather buy the Lego bricks as cheaply as possible.
The boxes I would rather see are the 6 and 9 compartment boxes with
baseplate lids. Those are very useful for both storing and sorting the Lego
bricks and are also much sturdier.
