(...) Brian-- Yeah, I've seen them. They're nice. Nifty. And made from wood (or a wood-like substance), which is not a LEGO usual feature. I wouldn't buy them for my kids (if I had them), but I might consider them if I were single and LEGO was my (...) (17 years ago, 14-Jul-07, to lugnet.storage, FTX)

(...) They are in the new catalog. My guess is that they were made in China and cost Lego about a dollar each. Tack on another dollar for shipping to the distrabution center. Give it time, they probably bought thousands and when they get stuck with (...) (17 years ago, 15-Jul-07, to lugnet.storage, FTX)

(...) This guess seems out of whack. Lego has pretty thin price margins comparatively (just ask merchandisers what the 'at cost' price is for Lego to get an idea).

(...) I have the storage and sorting box and it is ok, nothing special, but a lot cheaper than the other ones. I also have the older one from the 80's or earily 90's, held up well.
