Here I sit on the floor in my (hopefully soon to be furnished) new place in Seattle. I have a nice long wall that I'd like to use for my LEGO and computer area. I used to use one of those white molded plastic folding tables that you can get at Sam's (...) (21 years ago, 21-Jun-03, to lugnet.build, lugnet.storage, FTX)

Hi folks- I'm trying to track down Plano Storage organizers, model #5324. It's a great organizer, with 24 compartments. I have a few, but the collection is growing enough that I need more. Lots of companies have the smaller Plano boxes, but none (...) (22 years ago, 11-May-03, to lugnet.storage)

(...) My childhood collection reached just over 3,600 pieces, and for the last couple of years before my dark age, I kept them more or less sorted by colour. But I was fairly obsessive (when I say over 3,600 pieces, I mean 3,633). What I would (...) (22 years ago, 6-May-03, to lugnet.storage)

Just today I saw a new small parts storage cabinet at Wal-Mart. It's one of those 39 clear-drawer ones (9 lower big drawers, 30 small upper drawers). It's a dark green, but is the same size as the light gray or black ones that you commonly see. The (...) (22 years ago, 20-Mar-03, to lugnet.storage)
