 | | "Reusable" Containers for Storage —Eric Lind
|
| | | Having come out of a semi-dark age, I've taken to sorting my collection and have been casting about for a better way to store things. I had been using assorted LEGO tubs for the more numerous pieces (1x4, 2x4, etc), but the less plentiful pieces (...) (19 years ago, 17-Oct-05, to lugnet.storage)

| | | | (...) Definitely sounds like the right method for you. If it fits in a non-walkin closet, your collection is probably under 100,000 pieces.
