Storage : 6


Storage / 6

Storing the goodies. —Ed "Boxer" Jones
For Lego elemnts, I use the blue/red storage bins from sets 545, 56, etc. These are great 6/9 compartment bins that use a 16x32 baseplate as the lid. For catalogues and Mania Magazines I use ring binders with sheet protectors. (26 years ago, 28-Sep-98, to lugnet.storage)

			Re: Storing the goodies. —Todd Lehman
			(...) Whoops! :) No... I mean 36, MINUS some extras. That is, I have 36, and some of them will be extras because I only have 22 or so years of catalogs. --Todd (26 years ago, 29-Sep-98, to lugnet.storage)
