you made those boxes skywalker??? wow those are awesome.

I agree! Those are GREAT... But - besides the fact no klicky would EVER want to get into a box made by ME - that doesn't really work for QUANTITY...

I do love them though.. great for display.. (I also love vikings :love: )

haha yeah, my husband is about to cut off my spending for  a while! like i said, he's tired of having to dodge little plastic people!

I'll tell you what to do, get a male Klicky dressed in a suit & tie,....type a letter on your computer, & down size it to Klicky size. Make sure it looks in legal format. The letter should have in its contents the statement of the "right to collect", & charges for cleaning, washing clothes, cooking, child care charges itemized for your payment for said services, & anything else you take care of, fold it & put it in the male Klicky's hand, & approach your husband & say this letter is for you, make sure that you give him a magnifying glass, & say "you've been served!" ;)

We're in the same boat then, cyndi.... my husband makes the money and I spend it on playmobil. ;D But he buys playmobil too, fortunately, so we understand each other. ;)

In the end, we will conserve only what we love. We will love only what we understand. We will understand only what we are taught.

I have most of my collection organized in big plastic bins. I'll need to buy even more storage bins when I take apart the sets that are currently assembled. These are large sets including the school, the suburban house, the new Grand Mansion (5302), the Victorian house (5300), and some smaller sets here and there. So that means several more bins!

Sometimes I want to shed it all! It would be so liberating! But usually, I want to buy even more. (Like last night I finally bought the holiday house and container truck.) It's an addiction for sure! :wave:

I have the most trouble storing all of the empty boxes (because I never get rid of them). I try to fit the smaller ones inside of the bigger ones, but now they seem to be all over the place. :(

Heat the flaps with a hair dryer to soften the glue, & release them. Then fold the boxes flat, you can bound them together with string.

I was thinking of some way to do that, but I thought I might damage them or something. Thanks for the suggestion! I really need to figure out something to do with them... because I'll only be getting more...

As you warm the flaps, use a butter knife to slide in between the flaps to separate them.
