They didn't have a storage SYSTEM.
The blue and red drawers I have don't have tops - better not tip them over...
Can you imagine sorting through 50 bags piled in a corner?...
Bucket tops don't stay on worth a damn...
Dacta tubs were random X by Y sizes, though sometimes Z DID match (go figure).
What would sell would be a REAL storage system - say, 3 sizes of drawers with tops
that fit in 3 sizes of stackable/interlockable frames - sort of like Plano. One big
drawer, height X, width Y. One med drawer, .5X by Y. One small drawer, .5X by .5Y.
So you can either stack each size in nice columns, or do:

Or go crazy in any way you want ;-) (of course, it is the OUTER FRAMES the drawers
go in that need the matching outer dimensions, to properly work).
Do it right, and ANY hobbyist, Lego owner or not, would want to buy it.
