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 only have a few of, since they have those really small
compartments in the top sections. This seems to be a good mix. Of course, I
also have two Plano 3503's that I use to store my RCX and Pneumatics.
BTW, it appears, that TackleLogic is working on a website at
http://www.tacklelogic.com. It's still under construction, but will take your
e-mail address if you want to be notified when it opens. It does not look
like they are associated with Plano.
