Having come out of a semi-dark age, I’ve taken to sorting my collection and

assorted LEGO tubs for the more numerous pieces (1x4, 2x4, etc), but the less
plentiful pieces were all living in Ziploc-style bags. Not having large
amounts of money, I really can’t go with tool-chests or other
compartmentalized units, so I hit on the somewhat obvious solution of the
reusable plactic containers that Ziploc, Glad and others have been producing
for the last few years. Overall, I’m quite pleased.
I wound up buying a couple of 24-container packs from Sam’s for about 10 bucks
each. They have all sorts of different sizes and have proved nicely versatile.
I do have a few groups of pieces that are larger than the largest size, yet
not big enough for a “brick-top” LEGO tub. I think there are some bigger
reusable container sizes out there that weren’t included in the multi-pack
which I may go hunt around for to solve this dilemma.
Anyways, not the most earth-shattering annoucement, but it is a pretty cheap
way of having storage that won’t tip over and spill pieces all about, is clear
for easy finding of pieces, and infinitely expandable.

Allan Bedford mentions using Gladware-type containers for storage in his book,
The Unofficial LEGO Builder’s Guide. It’s a great idea; I just wish I had
heard about it before I invested in so many IKEA boxes.

Abundant parts in bags in drawers or tubs like you (...) (19 years ago, 18-Oct-05, to lugnet.storage, FTX)
