Those are great storage boxes. I wish I had more. I found a bunch a
couple years ago when I was first starting to collect. K-Mart had a nice
little Freestyle set (set 2146) on clearance which came with a red box
with yellow plates (as pictured). I've also managed to acquire a blue
one, and a couple blue ones 2/3 the size (6 compartments, two 16x32

The ones I have are used to store my 'Junk' Lego pieces that I do not need but
am not yet ready to trade or sell.

Since the dividers do not stay in place 100 percent of the time, I think the
containers are pretty crappy.  Maybe if I used hot glue to permanently attach
the dividers, I would be happier with them.

(...) Um, I may have said that, but I think I have plausible denyability. My current thinking is that they're a good application over at Conan's, because he has a lot, but that they would be too pricey to use for me... I would need at least 100 of (...) (23 years ago, 24-Sep-01, to lugnet.storage)
