 | | LEGO-like tubs at WM

|
The other day I noticed a palette of tubs at a WalMart store. They looked like knockoffs of 3033/4400/etc tubs. The plastic was slightly different, but similar. The label said "RubberMaid RoughNeck 3-gal Container". Original retail was $2.88, but (...) (20 years ago, 17-Jan-05, to lugnet.storage)

(...) Figure $100 for Keter boxes, Shimano tackle boxes, and misc other tackle boxes. $50 for two Plano 1234s. Probably $120 for ten Stack-On 18-, 39-, or 60-drawer units. Around $150? for Gracious Living drawer units (each three-large-drawer or (...) (20 years ago, 16-Jan-05, to lugnet.storage)

(...) Well, it's one month gone by and the Lego is packed up and ready to be moved. It took close to 200 boxes and 5 66 quart Sterilite containers. All that's left is to bag up the instruction books and put them in a 66 quart Sterilite container. (...) (20 years ago, 16-Jan-05, to lugnet.storage)

(...) I'm right with ya onboard the "I Hate Scratches" bandwagon. Over the years, I've always thought scratches were caused only by bricks against bricks. When I got the whole M:Tron™ collection for Xmas '90, I kept those trans-neon-green pieces in (...) (20 years ago, 15-Jan-05, to lugnet.storage, FTX)

(...) I have a Plano fishing tackle box that holds three 3700s in a slideout fashion. Not real effective for mass storage though. I also have some plastic shelving that is tall enough for the 3700s to stand vertically like books which is how most of (...) (20 years ago, 14-Jan-05, to lugnet.storage)

(...) Actually, Plano makes something like that - at Menards here in the midwest, you can sometimes find large red plastic boxes that hold three of the 3700's & two of the smaller 3450's (which incidently also come in two slightly different forms: (...) (20 years ago, 12-Jan-05, to lugnet.storage)

(...) I use the Plano 3700 (I've noticed that they use this model number for both the 24 and 48 compartment models - odd) boxes too and I have a couple of 58 qt. Sterilite bins. I've never tried putting one in the other, though. What I would like to (...) (20 years ago, 12-Jan-05, to lugnet.storage)

Just a FYI, for those of us on the small end of the sort/store spectrum. I just discovered that 12 of the Plano 3700 boxes will stack very nicely in a Sterilite 66 qt storage bin. I can now get much (most? I said it was small) of my sorted (...) (20 years ago, 12-Jan-05, to lugnet.storage)

(...) Matt Chiles ordered a case of the clear plastic mostly rectangular bins you often see packaged mushrooms in (I'm pretty sure I've seen other produce in them also). The bins are about 4"x5" or so (there are also larger bins). Another cheap (...) (20 years ago, 6-Jan-05, to lugnet.storage)

Good deal JT, we as long time fans have our work cut out for us. LOL, it 'builds' up. Pun intended, hrrr hrrr. I have spent the last 3 months sorting every day. I had a couple of sorting parties where friends came over and helped. I begged for help (...) (20 years ago, 3-Jan-05, to lugnet.storage)
