OK - thanks to you and everyone for your comments. Good point about the
newer bags that have sets printed on them. Perhaps I might start chucking
out my bags - then I'll be able to save more space by putting more of
the boxes inside each other.
On a related point, has anyone managed to figure out the logic behind
when Lego use the perforated bags and when they use the transparent
non-perforated ones. Every time I buy a set I think about it, but every
idea I've had has got disproven a couple of purchases later.
(Not that I've the least tendency to bother about sad, irrelevant, details,
you understand) :)
