(...) LOL! And fierce, too... gotta be careful how you treat her or you'll regret it. Maybe it would be better to have an exit instead, it might be easier to keep. Kevin (26 years ago, 11-May-99, to lugnet.storage)

(...) That's the ultimate solution. Especially if you can keep all the same-colored parts in physical proximity, for easier grabbing. Steve (26 years ago, 11-May-99, to lugnet.storage)
 
  Re: Building exhaustion
 
(...) Nope. There's not even a really good way to store baseplates with identical contours. Those things really pile up! (...)
