I was at an Office Depot the other day and happened to peruse through the whole store and came across storage containers by Really Useful Boxes. Hadn't seem theem before. They are high quality bin type storage with lids and handles in all shapes and sizes and several colors. I mean all shapes and sizes....Office files, shoes, cd/dvds, LPs, down to button collection. I mean they had a nice assortment. I immediately thought wow, I miss the days of big plastic containers with all my loose LEGO. Shifting LEGO around to find the piece you need. Also I have a new baby in the house, and I have been wanting to put LEGO out of site for a couple years. So I am in the market for a good LEGO bulk storage system. One where I could say store the pieces of Statue of Liberty, Darth Maul and Yoda sculptures all in one bucket. Anyone use these boxes for LEGO or other things? Just about all of my LEGO sets were not purchased for selling and I am kind of tired of letting many many larges empty LEGO boxes take up so much closet space. I was considering folding them down which could preserve the box itself (maybe even better than "built"). This would onyl work on the recent sets, not ones with a thick siding. BUt most set made since about 2007 look collapsable. Was wondering if I could get some thoughts on Really Useful Boxes and folding LEGO boxes...
