Good God man! I have about 15 Planos full of Technic and I thought I was a
bit nuts...well my spouse thinks so. If you have 115 of them at an average of
$4 US thats $500 just for the storage! WOW!
You go on to write that this is small compared to those with BIG collections....
At least you got the Plano boxes. See my site for info on how to modify them without
wrecking them too much.
