Target has the clear drawer, black or white frame doublewides for $16, single wides for $9.99. More interesting is that they have the blue frame, red/yellow/green drawer doublewides for $16.99, single wides for $9.99. These make GREAT Lego storage, (...) (22 years ago, 28-Jan-03, to lugnet.storage)
