(...) Actually, I have about a dozen of the 3600 series and only a couple of the 3700 series. Most of my sorted stuff resides in a half dozen Popular Mechanics storage bins (either 18 or 23 compartment). They are similar to the Akro-Mils brand only (...) (26 years ago, 9-Mar-99, to lugnet.storage)

I have both the 3600 and 3700 series. Does anyone have a link where I could buy these boxes on-line? I'm really interested in the StowAway organizer that they sell to organize the organizers. (That senetence just SOUNDS ridiculous) (...) <SNIP> (...) (26 years ago, 9-Mar-99, to lugnet.storage)

Check out the StowAway line of boxes from Plano. After reading the discussion on this list (thanks to whoever first recommended them!!), I went out and bought a dozen from my local WalMart. If you can't locate the website, try e-mailing the company (...) (26 years ago, 9-Mar-99, to lugnet.storage)

(...) Mario, You've got me on a pet subject, so I'll jump in. The Technic suitcase is a marvel of useless engineering. The dividers are flimsy, the trays don't stay in one place, and if you drop the case, you'll have to sort out the parts again - (...) (26 years ago, 9-Mar-99, to lugnet.storage)

I need to store a bunch of technic pieces. What's wrong with the Lego Technic suitcase? (I haven't any) - Price? - Shape? - Functionality? Thanks for your opinion. Mario (26 years ago, 9-Mar-99, to lugnet.storage)

As a general "life note to the wise": If they don't specifically TELL you that the item in question is acid-free/archival quality/whatever, IT ISN'T. And you would notice a price difference; i.e. the cheap card sheets as opposed to the UltraPRO (...) (26 years ago, 5-Mar-99, to lugnet.storage)

You can count me as yet another AFOL that "discovered" that Plano "tackle" boxes were *really* intended for Lego storage! The only thing I have to add to the discussion is that K-mart also sells some "milk" storage crates that perfectly hold these (...) (26 years ago, 28-Feb-99, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.storage)

My wife showed me a cheap way to get plastic storage bins for storing small parts. They're not as versatile as the Plano boxes, but a lot cheaper. In craft stores they sell boxes for storing embroidery floss for $1 or $2. They have 18 small (...) (26 years ago, 19-Feb-99, to lugnet.storage)
