Hi everyone, Well, it's finally happened. My collection is growing by almost 30% this month--I'm parting out over 180 unopened sets. This means that my bin system is now completely inadequate; I've bought larger bins, I'm running out of room, and (...) (25 years ago, 25-Jan-00, to lugnet.storage)

David, Plan for exponential growth in your collection. Make sure that what ever storage method you use can be expanded. I lost track of the amount of times I've had to re-think my policy. It now seems crazy that I once thought acquiring the lego (...) (25 years ago, 20-Jan-00, to lugnet.loc.uk, lugnet.storage)
