In the US, the only rack I have seen is a cardboard box for the 48x48
baseplates (and I think also the Duplo base plates). At TRU, the 32x32
baseplates are in a wire rack (which may or may not be a TLC produced item).
At Walmart and K-Mart, the baseplates are just in a stack on the shelf (if
they have them).
