Up to now my Lego has been almost entirely stored in some
of the larger set boxes - and I'm becoming concerned at
the effect it's having on the boxes, continually opening them,
shifting them around etc.
So last week in Sainsburies (for non-UK people: one of
our big supermarket chains) I was passing the plastic
food storage containers and hit on them as an idea for storing Lego.
I can pick up quite large ones for about $3 each, which seems
not exactly brilliant value, but cheap enough.
I've tried it experimentally for a few boxes,
and it works really well. The containers are just the right size and
can withstand a fair bit of knocking around.
Only thing is - they are semi-transparent, which makes me
worried about whether that's going to result in lots of discoloured
bricks after a couple of years. I've never quite figured out
exactly what causes the brick discolouration, but I've guessed
it may be related to light - or possibly uv light.
Which brings up two questions.
1. What do other people use to store bricks?
2. Has anyone figured out exactly what discolours bricks. Is my
guess on the right lines or am I completely off?
