Our home for sale is now in "pending" status with a closing date of May 22 so I think it is safe to post this without freaking out my realtor over skewed stats on the page views.

I'm not sure where this should be posted, so I placed it in events, general, and storage. Stacy and I are planning to attend Brickworld and possibly BrickFair this year. We would like to exhibit at both, but this year will be our first time doing (...) (17 years ago, 17-Jan-08, to lugnet.events, lugnet.general, lugnet.storage)

I'm currently wrestling with dilemmas about how to cope with the various shades of grey in my sorting system. I've tentatively (...)

(...) I have the storage and sorting box and it is ok, nothing special, but a lot cheaper than the other ones. I also have the older one from the 80's or earily 90's, held up well. My guess on the price comes from my other life when we ordered a few (...) (17 years ago, 18-Jul-07, to lugnet.storage, FTX)

(...) **snickers** Bryan, you beat me to the funniest part of this whole thread. "Some assembly required...!" Yeah, right. Still wouldn't buy it at those prices for kids. I'd get it for myself, and have fun with it...if I had the bucks. But between (...) (17 years ago, 17-Jul-07, to lugnet.storage, FTX)

(...) Yeah, the website says that the LEGO furniture is made from pine and MDF. Also says that the item will come mostly unassembled - much easier to ship that way I guess. Besides, being a construction toy company, I'd expect most LEGO products to (...) (17 years ago, 17-Jul-07, to lugnet.storage)

(...) This guess seems out of whack. Lego has pretty thin price margins comparatively (just ask merchandisers what the 'at cost' price is for Lego to get an idea). I don't see why Lego would be jacking up the price for these storage bins but NOT for (...) (17 years ago, 17-Jul-07, to lugnet.storage, FTX)

(...) Well, from what I understand, the materials are made of pine (softwood...As an amateur woodworker, I like hardwoods much better), and I agree, the prices are a bit high, but there's still probably a bit of cost there. Wood is not cheap, even (...) (17 years ago, 17-Jul-07, to lugnet.storage)

(...) Yeah, not buying that guesstimate, on either count. Wood in large volume is a lot more expensive than a small amount of plastic, and for shipping purposes, those will either eat up a huge amount of volume (if they're preassembled), or weigh an (...)

(...) They are in the new catalog. My guess is that they were made in China and cost Lego about a dollar each. Tack on another dollar for shipping to the distrabution center. Give it time, they probably bought thousands and when they get stuck with (...) (17 years ago, 15-Jul-07, to lugnet.storage, FTX)

I wouldn't buy them for my kids (if I had them), but I might consider them if I were single and LEGO was my (...) (17 years ago, 14-Jul-07, to lugnet.storage, FTX)
