(...) Well from all the sets I got as a child, I don't have any boxes left. Right now I only save old boxes (pre-1995 for me) as well as boxes of specific themes I really collect. I am about Adventurers-complete, so I save all those boxes. Same for (...) (22 years ago, 16-Mar-03, to lugnet.storage)

(...) Why would anyone want to sell a used LEGO set? :) Seriously, to offer another point of view... I have many of the boxes and instructions from my childhood sets. Some of these are now more than 27 years old. However, many of those sets also (...) (22 years ago, 16-Mar-03, to lugnet.storage, lugnet.general)

(...) Trust me on that, any used set you're trying to sell will see its value increased by a good 40% solely because of the box, even in bad shape. If you have the boxes of sets 6335, 1496 and 1497, I will buy them from you immediately! Boxes are (...) (22 years ago, 16-Mar-03, to lugnet.storage, lugnet.general)

Greetings! I have saved most of the boxes from sets I have purchased new, but now I am running out of room. I'm not exactly sure why I saved them in the first place. I don't want to get rid of them if there is a logical reason to save them. What do (...) (22 years ago, 16-Mar-03, to lugnet.storage)

If you have standardized on the "Costco size" Iris carts, don't buy the ones on sale at Target this week - they are slightly smaller. If you have standardized on the slightly smaller ones carried at Staples/OfficeMax/OfficeDepot, these MAY match, (...) (22 years ago, 30-Jan-03, to lugnet.storage)

(...) I think the point is that once you have finished playing you stick all your lego in and then sort it. You then leave it in the boxes for next time, thus needing a lid Tim (22 years ago, 29-Jan-03, to lugnet.storage)
