(...) A "K-8" is a standard size storage box for LEGO. It's about 30"x18"x16". I have one at home, I'll get an exact measurement and post it sometime. JohnG, GMLTC (24 years ago, 17-Oct-00, to lugnet.trains.org, lugnet.org.ca.nalug)

(...) I'm still not sure - Could you please clarify what " K-8 " is/means? I seems from what I'm reading that it is not the name of a set or style or "line" of LEGO, but rather a nickname for a container that holds excess LEGO that can't be put in (...)

(...) True. Have you gotten any indication from them what size they would give us? The largest we can take up (without using the roundtable) is 120" x 180" or 150" x 150". If we have the roundtable, we can increase that to 150" x 180". Obviously we (...) (24 years ago, 13-Oct-00, to lugnet.org.ca.nalug)
