![]() ![]() Such a cheap price makes purchasing them in bulk a lot more reasonable, same with my divided containers. ![]() I've seen them in Wal-Mart stores across the nation, and everywhere I go they sell for the same price, $1. ![]() I use a LOT of these bins which I purchased at Wal-Mart. It's pretty inconsequential as the divider bends it back in shape, or the contents of the drawer will. When undivided, you can see the slight bend in the drawer due the malleability of the plastic they are made from. I've yet to label the drawers as I haven't found it extremely necessary, but I've not ruled that out just yet. But as with this picture, it's a pretty logical connection. I have to be careful what I put in the back though, as it may make things confusing later. I don't use them in all of the drawers, naturally, but sometimes, as in this case, it is extremely helpful to have. The drawer sets come with dividers that can be inserted optionally. I have four other containers with various accessories, divided mostly by theme, as well as a few others with loose minifigure parts (torso, heads, legs.) It saves on my drawer space and helps to know that were I to need a weapon or accessory in this style I know exactly where to go. In this one I've stored some various minifigure accessories. They are your typical craft container, sold at Michael's craft stores for $0.99 each. I use these a lot to store similar parts that would otherwise take up too many of my drawer slots. Here are some other examples of how I organize my things out. It really is an endless job, but luckily a fun one. I even have some sitting in the floor that I've decided to remove from display but have yet to dismantle. Even as we speak, I still have Roughly 15 unopened sets in my closet I haven't gotten to yet, 5 of which are over 1,000 pieces. ![]() Given that, even as meticulous as I am now, I find that it gets away from me rather quickly when I buy 4-5 sets at once. When I first started collecting, I knew that I was going to be buying a lot rather quickly, so I had to develop a system of organization early on. I found that when I was deciding how to organize my collection, I spent a lot of time looking at how other people did it. It looks like the 39 drawer set will work best for me, even if it is a little pricey. I have to run out for a bit, but when I return later, I'll post some more images of how I've sorted the drawers out and some other containers I use. I bought all of mine at Sears and Wal-Mart in their hardware departments. As you can see, it in no way inhibits your ability to see inside of the drawers. Rather than some kinds I've seen made from that hard, brittle plastic that is prone to cracking. But it's because they're made from a really soft, durable, flexible plastic. They have an extremely small level of opaqueness to them, almost unnoticeable. It's a combination of the first two, so naturally it sells for $20. I have most in this size, which also sell for $10. I have a couple of these, which sell for $10. Actually, I've only been collecting LEGO again since May, so these are brand new (as in, I bought them in the last six months.) They come several ways, but I have a few of each of these three styles, as they best fit my needs. ![]()
