Great storage boxes

[flatcat]

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!

Those look great boxes, Joe    - With great looking contents too!

They are good being clear, and with adjustable compartement sizes, too

Yes that tackle box type is very useful, I have 5 or 6 of them in that size and a few smaller ones as well. Another thing to watch out for in those areas is the small stacking plastic jars. There is one lid and the compartments screw into the bottom of the one above. I use them for small parts that are hard to fish out of bigger spaces - like flower petals. Watch out for prices and check across departments. At the Fred Meyer here they have the same tackle box in the fishing department and in the hardware department - just with different labels. The hardware one is more expensive than the one in fishing for some reason.

I have never come across anything like that before, so I suppose we don't get them in this country

I don't know about other countries, but here plastic storage is very expencive, so it doesn't seem right spending so much money on just a box, when it could be spent on buying more Playmobil

I have some and will post some pics of them after we move this coming week.

This tool-tower is made of 12 storage-magazins, 4 squaresize boards, 1 turning plate and a thicker board with 4 rolling wheels underneath.
It contains all my spareparts of figures.

I do like this Martina, 
I like the idea that it can be turned around and moved where ever it is needed - I keep all my spares in sets of smallish drawers, but they are in various places and I tire of carrying them to where they are needed.

My Mum has some which look like that that craft bits came in

They look ideal for petals

You can get those stacking plastic jars at GNC.  They are sold as pill cases. (My husband works at GNC.)

I got this 18ltr 'Really Useful Box' last week, brand new in a charity shop for £4!

And we all know these 'Really Usuful Boxes' can cost quite a bit more than a playmobil set to buy, which is why I haven't bought a load to house my collection otherwise I would because they are simply supurb.



It stores my straight tracks in, which you can get 4 stacks in nicely

And it stows nicely under my bed too, which Mum is very happy about

(it cleary stuff out of the lounge)
