(...) I think Star Wars and G.I. Joe are exactly why Lego is making so many specialized pieces. They are trying to compete with these guys. I remember as a kid back in the early eighties(82-83?), I started to get heavily into GI-Joe. Prior to that I (...) (25 years ago, 3-Feb-00, to lugnet.dear-lego)

(...) Well, they have a prefab building system. I picked up a Playmobil catalog at Target and it was frightening how much the lines were similar, right down to the color schemes for things.

I have a bunch of empty tubs (100 or so) that I would be glad to swap for some better form of storage, like the 6 or 9 compartment trays with handles.
