Just saw these tonight at a Seattle Fred Meyer (URL) units in the center look like tackle boxes without dividers, and retail for $9 each (and come with a 10inch baseplate). The bins at top seem more like plastic shoeboxes and weren't priced (also (...) (15 years ago, 25-Nov-09, to lugnet.storage)

After the success of the first Virtual Lego Room Tour at BrickFest 2009 we've decided to do it again at BrickCon. When LUGs have a meeting at a member's house, the one thing that everyone always wants to see is the owner's build area. A Lego Room, a (...)

(...) Pretty much the same here. I kept a couple of sets that I really liked almost separate (apart from borrowing parts). Some I keep together to challenge myself to see what I can do with them. I really don't do MISB. I have bought classic sets (...) (15 years ago, 24-Jul-09, to lugnet.storage)

(...) I do some of each. Most sets are sorted directly into the main collection, but some sets are kept separate, as collected items. However, I don't do "MISB" -- if I get a set, I build it. If I like a set enough to want to collect it, I certainly (...) (15 years ago, 23-Jul-09, to lugnet.storage)

How do people store sets they purchase? 1. Leave them separate from the main collection. -or- 2. Add them to the collection of LEGO? I see benefits to both but was wondering what others do. Thanks. (15 years ago, 20-Jul-09, to lugnet.storage)

I have been using zipper storage bags (hereafter ZSB), mostly Ziploc brand, though I also use a few store brand and Uline ZSBs. I haven't had any problems other than the occasional busted bag due to overstuffing, failed zippers, and rips/tears. I've (...) (16 years ago, 1-Mar-09, to lugnet.storage)
