Yeah I'm mildly concerned that about half of my collection is in that ship.
Hopefully its disassembly won't have a terrible effect on my sorting
process.

I should be moving soon and I'll have some more space for Lego. I'll try out
sitting at a table and building then. I've never had back and neck pain
from sitting on the floor though. I did have numb hands (almost) from
sorting a lot of tiny piecs once.

I honestly don't like how cheap the plastic of the Akro Mils units feels.
The plastic for the clear tackle boxes seems a lot more rugged.

This must be the brand that seems to have replaced the Plano boxes. I'm
going to have to try one out. If I like them I'll probably find a new home
for my plano boxes and go with the new brand. I have this big thing about
trying to simplify my storage. One type of tub, one type of tackle box
etc...

Yeah, I understand where you're coming from. I don't think I have a huge
collection so I wasn't really concerned that people would think I was
bragging. I really want to post some pics of the individual tubs and such
though. Thats where I think pics of a collection would be useful.

That would be great! I'll also post some pics of my stuff soon.
