Lego storage?
As Jake is getting more & more into Legos, I feel like we need a better storage/organization system. Right now, they're all crammed in a Lego tub, but we can't fit much more in there. I was looking at this on amazon, does anyone have it or something similar? is it sturdy? Any other storage suggestions?
Also, I did a small rant about this on facebook the other day...but what is with all of the sets?? What happened to just buying 100 blocks and building? (which is the other thing that I am concerned about with the whole organization thing...how do you keep all of the pieces in the right sets?)

Re: Lego storage?
Usually the sets get built once and then dismantled to join the rest of the Lego or the sets stay together and are displayed. The latter is more for the Star Wars sets.
I'm probably going to get a small plastic bin with snap in lid for Lego people, wheels and other very special pieces. I also plan to find a small bin to put all of the directions in for the sets we've built.
All four people in our house love Lego, so it might be a Lego Christmas!
I briefly considered keeping all of the sets separated in ziplocks or something. Then I realized that the kids would NEVER maintain the system and the integration of sets would only make me crazy. Not worth it!
My boys love legos, but like to build the sets and then use them for imaginative play. We bought open top canvas bins at Bed Bath and Beyond and put the assembled, or partially assembled pieces in these (Police things in one, fire station and related trucks in another, the garage and cars in another...). I need to get out the directions to help with repairs and rebuilds, so it is easier to keep them built for a while. We use a multi drawer tackle box for the mini figures and the really tiny parts and a few ikeas storage bins with lids for the pieces that aren't part of a set. somedays I feel like I really do live in "San Di-lego" which is what my 6 year old named his Lego city. I do have one of the boxes similar to the original post above, we use it for the duplos and it works well. it is the one that folds open and unzips into a street scene, so they like to play on it as well.
