Nothing very elaborate for me. Just two small-parts cases, a couple of shoe boxes, plastic tubs, and various freestyle buckets sorted by 1xn. I also have some sets displayed up high in my daughter's room up. The day she discovers how to get to them, (...) (26 years ago, 2-Oct-98, to lugnet.storage)

(...) I just this summer organized all my paper. I used large size comic book protectors and cardboard baskings. Works great for everything execpt the european A4 stuff and much less expensive than page protectors. (26 years ago, 1-Oct-98, to lugnet.storage)

Hi: (...) That was me who requested them! It is interesting to note that Legohas used both US 8.5 x 11" and European A4 paper sizes for some of their instruction books. Jim hughesj@one.net (26 years ago, 1-Oct-98, to lugnet.storage)

I once had a request for knowing the codes for metric(European) paper sizes. If you want those, I will be happy to post them here. A4 would be much easier than 210mmW x 297mmL anyday!!!!

I use a combination of methods for storage. For standard bricks I use the Lego bins from 3026 sets, each holding a single size. Within them I have the bricks sorted by color and stored in Gladlock plastic bags. I then have several large Rubbermaid (...) (26 years ago, 29-Sep-98, to lugnet.storage)

For Lego elemnts, I use the blue/red storage bins from sets 545, 56, etc. These are great 6/9 compartment bins that use a 16x32 baseplate as the lid. For catalogues and Mania Magazines I use ring binders with sheet protectors. (26 years ago, 28-Sep-98, to lugnet.storage)
