(...) That's one of the most beautifully organized LEGO collections I've ever seen! And those drawer labels... wow. Much nicer than what I was thinking. AB (19 years ago, 11-Dec-05, to lugnet.storage)

(...) It's been done. . . (URL) to personalize it for our own use we'd have to be able to edit CorelDraw files, and maybe use LDraw tools. Come to think of it, I thought that Bob Kojima's PartsCatalog (URL) make labels, but I can't figure out how to (...) (19 years ago, 11-Dec-05, to lugnet.general, lugnet.storage)

(...) I volunteer to help you clean up. Fortunately I have a pickup and a bunch of Hefty bags... :) Same thing happened to me on a smaller scale a few months ago. That totally bites, especially after all the sorting you've been doing. Kelly (19 years ago, 17-Nov-05, to lugnet.storage, FTX)

And I don't mean Lego studs - I mean wood studs... (2 URLs) My wife kindly took these pictures of me in my Lego room, after she removed what little Lego remained on the shelves, while I still held the remnants of the shelves. This wall was mostly (...) (19 years ago, 17-Nov-05, to lugnet.general, lugnet.storage, FTX)

I don't have the extensive and organized storage methods that some here make use of - just LEGO boxes from parted out sets, buckets and tubs, using the holey plastic bags. As time goes by (and I move a few times) the old mental inventory gets a bit (...) (19 years ago, 15-Nov-05, to lugnet.storage, lugnet.org.ca.nalug)

The biggest problem here is, we are Lego builders. We know uniformity, modularity, flexibility and good moulding when we see it - it is exactly what we expect from Lego. And no storage system comes close to Lego in those terms, although Lego dont (...) (19 years ago, 2-Nov-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. At that size, your method has low cost, can be stored in a decent space (with good neatness) and sorting and (...) (19 years ago, 19-Oct-05, to lugnet.storage)

(...) My primary factor, at the moment, is cost. I have a large enough collection that better storage is necessary (how large, exactly, I'm not sure - it's big enough to fill a good-sized, non-walk-in closet), but I don't have the money to go to (...) (19 years ago, 18-Oct-05, to lugnet.storage)

(...) I definitely agree with the point about inefficient containers (though I use some re-usable containers to on my work table to hold a working set of parts). But key is that's space efficiency. My system is less time efficient. You need to find (...) (19 years ago, 18-Oct-05, to lugnet.storage)

(...) I found that glad-ware style containers weren't very space efficient and don't stck well. For smaller parts, fishing tackle boxes by Plano or Flambeau. Bigger parts in small stacking drawers. Abundant parts in bags in drawers or tubs like you (...) (19 years ago, 18-Oct-05, to lugnet.storage, FTX)
