I didn't do a whole lot to prepare for the move of my 500-600k piece
collection across country (from sunny Cary North Carolina [Raleigh] to rainy
Beavrton Oregon [Portland]). Of course most of my pieces were in zip lock
bags already. The movers wrapped some things with a sheet of newsprint.
Everything got packed in boxes (they made custom boxes for my two stacks of
Iris drawers on the spot). I had some huge zip lock bags that my larger MOCs
went into (though some stuff was still packed from having gone to
BricksWest - I didn't even unseal the tape from that package).
Like Jason, I also recently moved a short distance across town. For that I
did almost no special packing. I do reccomend taping closed buckets for such
a move, and being careful how many you carry at once, and opening up the
back of the SUV when you have tucked them in against the gate (I had two
bucket spills onto the driveway - one at each end). I moved most of the LEGO
in one evening with the help of a friend, his VW Beetle, another friend's
SUV.
p.s. Check out NCLUG/NCLTC, though you will actually be much closer to
Atlanta than Raleigh.
