I'm not sure about Travel Logic and Plano. I have not been inside a WalMart
or similar store in months (it's part of my ongoing 12-step program...)
I went to the <http://www.planomolding.com> website. I don't have cable
modem or DSL access up here in the frozen north, so I browse with graphics
off. The site is almost unusable...
Then I searched <http://www.google.com> for Travel Logic, and came up with this
beauty... <http://www.alloutdoors.com/newgear/gearreviews/> check out the
date in the top right corner....where are the editors when you need them!
The one box I have found useful for portable robotics or an emergency
LEGO stash that lets you store a reasonable sized model is at:

Me either, but then again, plastic is plastic, and may change from batch
to batch. I have found that running a SMALL bead of hotmelt in the groove
will take up any dead space and produce a tight fit. You can always remove
the divider again if you pull hard enough, and the hotmelt will break off.

| Indeed, I bought 4 of the TravelLogic 3750 boxes to help store my collection. I use 4 Plano 3730's for the big stuff (like tires), 8 Plano 3700's for most of the stuff, and now have 4 TravelLogic 3750's that I mostly use for the rarer stuff that I (...)
