Oooh, very fancy!

In my case, I think I'd be better off just stacking my Playmobil straight onto the pallet

So I was showing my wife the original post pics, and she said ”I have to say, I’m not disliking the whole organization thing going on here.”

Praise indeed, although not exactly a definite commitment to Playmobil.

I use IKEA boxes for storage:

- GLIS (34x21x8cm) for Specials
- GLIS (17x10x8cm) for Sets
- VESSLA for storing GLIS (17x10x8cm)
- SAMLA (5l) for storing SuperSets
- SAMLA (11l) for storing catalogs & instructions
- SAMLA (45l) for storing GLIS (34x21x8cm), vehicles & sceneries
- SAMLA (130l) for storing vehicles & sceneries

We use these exact same boxes. And then my Steck collection is in:

All sorts of boxes from the Trofast range.

I need to make a trip to the Ikea soon again to get more though...I have too much Steck....for the boxes I currently own...so I need more Boxes first...and then more STECK!!

Hi

Those are actually neat looking storage containers Damo. They look so toy-ish and compliment the Playmobil well.

We use the plain old Sterilite boxes from Target. I get them on sale for $1 for a small (6 quart) and $1.50 for a medium (16 quart)

I also found those drawers at Target for $15-ish .

Here are some old pics

This is a great workspace, Rasputin!  I really like the drawers that you got at Target.  I looked for something similar at Walmart today, but no deal.  Sounds like an expedition to Target is in my future.

WOW Rasputin. Thats a very nice set up. Those cabinets look really useful!

But I would like to give you some advice. Either you need to give your laborers some rest once in a while or you should make sure that the task better fits their skill. I mean come on! That on in the front isn't able to lift the chainsaw. So either make sure he is in a physical better shape or give him a bit less work. I just want to make sure you don't get into any union trouble.

I don't know if it's the same all around Europe, but this week LIDL are selling these really handy storage boxes (can't find the links though, sorry). They have two types: one's one of these thin-ish compartmental boxes grown-ups use for nails, screws etc; the other's much deeper, the top part has about four compartments and can be removed. Both cost less than 10Euro each although I forgot the exact amount. I think I'll be going again to buy another of the smaller ones: incredibly handy for storing the smaller parts.

(having said all this, no amount of 'musical storage boxes' seems to be working for me: the collection is getting bigger, and the space is getting smaller)

Saw nothing at the local Target that could be used.  Back to Walmart and found myself in the sports department and the fishing isle.  Found these covered trays that are supposed to be for fish hooks, lures, etc.  I think they were just the ticket for all the small house parts that go astray.  Good ol' Walmart!
