Oops, I didn't pay enough attention to the page... The CLEAR-VIEW 12-BIN
ORGANIZER is the type I don't like. If the compartments in that were
rectangular, it would suit my needs fairly well, it's a big enough size
to hold a decent number if minifigs.
The flat case might work, I'll have to look at it the next time I'm in
K-Mart.

I've got one I got at Walmart which is similar, but has a cover with
1"x1"x0.5" or so compartments. This stores most of my minifig legs
(well, the ones which have been sorted, it's starting to overflow).
