Greetings all,
Currently I have eight 11 gallon and six 7 gallon Rubbermaid storage tubs
filled with my Lego collection. Most of the tubs comprise one color broken
down in different bags of special pieces. The basic bricks and plates are
loose on the bottom. My trouble is that almost all the tubs are overflowing
and I'm thinking that I need to commit to a radical rearrangement of my
storage system.
Instead of keeping all the colors separated, I think I need to break
everything down by part and mix the basic and special pieces together by
color as well. I have a 27" x 50" x 60" closet area to play with. Should I
stick with these storage tubs and buy a few more or can someone recommend an
alternative that won't break me financially?
Thanks in advance for your advice.
Dave

| (...) My reccomendation would be to continue to use your large tubs, but sort the parts by type and then put bags of similar types together in tubs. For parts which you have smaller quantities of, look at the various drawer units people have (...) (23 years ago, 24-Apr-01, to lugnet.storage)
