I've checked out these containers. They have been available for years
under a variety of trade names, and they almost universally suck.
The problem is the same as with any opaque container, you can't
tell what's inside, and there is a lot of wasted space with the
dividers and such.
Once again, for my money, I keep buying the PLANO tackle boxes.
Once in a while WalMart has a three pack on sale. I use the thinnest
ones for tiles, grab handles, and other bits. The medium depth is
good for minifigs, accessories, plates, windshields. The deepest
ones are for bulk items like wheels.
I still keep translucent tubs for bricks. By the way that's for my
kid's collection. They have finally (at six) figured out it's easier
to build when you don't have to rummage.
My Technic collection should be photographed as a PLANO ad someday...
