I've purchased a system like this. It is four plastic boxes with square holes that decrease in size from the top tray to the bottom tray. It is not made by Lego. It wasn't cheap... maybe $20, possibly more. But it is handy, to some extent. When (...) (25 years ago, 7-Sep-99, to lugnet.storage)

I've just patched together a "system" for automatic sorting of Lego, and I wonder whether anyone has tried to do the same - maybe with better results. The idea is to have a series of boxes, one on top of the other. Each box has a net as its bottom. (...) (25 years ago, 6-Sep-99, to lugnet.storage)
