I use a combination of methods for storage. For standard bricks I use
the Lego bins from 3026 sets, each holding a single size. Within them I
have the bricks sorted by color and stored in Gladlock plastic bags. I
then have several large Rubbermaid bins. Within them I have parts
sorted by type, also in plastic bags. Then I have about 20 plastic
compartment boxes to hold all of the smaller pieces. Lastly I have a
dozen or so shoebox size containers holding things like pneumatics,
motors, battery boxes, and one each for each of the technic beam sizes.
Since I keep most of the sets assembled and on the shelf this is enough
storage for my spare parts. I'm not sure what to do if I had to
dissassemble everything and store the parts. I think that a lot of the
comartment boxes would be replaced with something bigger.
For instructions and catalogs I have a file cabinet with a hanging
folder for a numerical range of instructions and folders for catalogs,
flyers, forien ccatalogs and other Lego paperwork. I have one full
drawer and am working on the second. At this rate the 4 drawer unit
will be full in about 10 years.
Oh yes, I also have a Technic briefcase with a bunch of pieces I use
when I'm fiddling around with my Mindstorms. I keeps me from having to
dig through everything for a part I'm looking for. Every time I find
there's another part I want to try I add a couple to the briefcase.

| For Lego elemnts, I use the blue/red storage bins from sets 545, 56, etc. These are great 6/9 compartment bins that use a 16x32 baseplate as the lid. For catalogues and Mania Magazines I use ring binders with sheet protectors. (26 years ago, 28-Sep-98, to lugnet.storage)
