    Re: LEGO box —Bram Lambrecht
   (...) If the box has reasonably strong walls (eg, a big set like 8880 or 6982) I often cut off the flip-top and use the box for sorting/storage. The smaller trays from medium size boxes are also good for storage. --Bram Bram Lambrecht / o o \ (...)

      (...) Hm, "fragile" would seem like precisely the quality such an object would *not* possess. LFB (25 years ago, 18-Jan-00, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)
   
        Re: LEGO box —Patrick Leahy
   (...) I can see why someone would use a large one for storage. What I think is odd is that people sometimes collect the boxes. LEGO boxes just don't seem like the right material for a collection [especially if you never use the pieces [LEGO stuff is (...)

        Re: LEGO box —Jeff Thompson

        Re: LEGO box —Larry Pieniazek

        Re: LEGO box —Mike Reed
    As it is now, all my sets are in their respective boxes, piled up in my closet at my apartment. Lack of room to set up my town being the main reason. Once I do get the room I will set up my town again and probably just pile the empty boxes (...)
