I don't know if the 800# on the commercial has them any less expensive. We use (...) (26 years ago, 18-Oct-98, to lugnet.storage)

I have a PLANO mid height tackle box with the contents of an 8062 Technic Universal set. I supplied the inventory to Dave Baum and it should be in the LugNet inventory.
