Which reminds me, has anyone come up with a good way to store baseplates with
varying contours? (3)

I would be curious to see scientific notation on this figure. ;) My drawers (so
to speak) are also overflowing and I've kinda started using ziploc bags for
some things. But now I need another tub/box for the bags. Well, actually, I
need a house with a room for the lego.

ATM no. I haven't really assimilated my new SW sets into the rest of the
collective. I'm too busy seeing what I can make with just pieces from the new
sets. I find myself doing more of that to challenge myself with fewer pieces.
Eventually they'll get worked in. In fact I think some Space Port parts and a
Sherriff's Lockup snuck in. For the most part I've kept them separate so that
they can be brought in one large lego bucket over to my friend's house. He's 29
and newly into lego and therefore needs a building buddy. He's been checking
out people's sites too.
