Last weekend, I got a chance to break out the Lego again and work on some stuff that I'd like to build. I couldn't find anything. I had about 25 gallons of unsorted Lego, and another 10 or so gallons of sorted-in-plastic-bags Lego from my last (...) (24 years ago, 16-Jan-01, to lugnet.storage)

I had to take some models from my home to the office, some pieces fall off, and it was not a very positive experience. So my question is: How to transport Lego? Assembled models, I mean.
