I actually trade very little but I have gone on a crazy spending spree of
late and am buried in MISB sets. I can't seem to find the time to open and
sort them. Currently, most of them have found a nice spot in a desk in the
basement, but the pile is growing at an exponentionnal rate (almost).

I have actually taken over half of the basement. I have had a Town built for
the last 6 years. It has changed quite a bit since it's humble beginnings. I
also have some sets on display on top of the TV, on the kitchen table, on
bedroom shelves and other assorted furniture.

I buy storage bins and drawers when they come on special. They are perfect
for sorting. I also cut up boxes from small sets and store them in larger
set boxes. The latter hold up some tables in my display.

Where on Earth do you keep your Lego collections? What about you folks who take trading seriously - where do you put it all? Do you have a dedicated room, the loft, the garage, or just stick it in any nook and cranny you can find? Do have your sets (...) (26 years ago, 2-Nov-00, to lugnet.loc.uk, lugnet.general)
