  Re: Workspace

  Workspace
 
I will be moving within the next couple of months and would like to dedicate all or part of a room strictly to my LEGOs.

And if you have too many bins, you cannot stack them all in front of you when building, so you need to (...) (26 years ago, 22-Oct-98, to lugnet.storage)
