Thank you!

The mat area is acutally 12 x 12 plates that they can move around to change the road when ever they want. The table play area is 3 plates x 3 plates. My dad, I mean Santa, did put a shelf under that area so they can store some things. Right now it has a binder with instructions sitting in it and some of the plates. My boys decided that the plates don't fit in with the Star Wars Battle of Endor set too well. :D

I store my lego displayed on 3 different shelves and 3 different dressers in my room. I am running out of space.

Akro-Mils 24-Drawer

Menards which is a home improvement store sells these for $17 and some change. I like the Akro-Mils better than the Stack-On brand I've run across at Lowes and Wal-mart. The mark in the middle of the trays is for dividers to be inserted length wise so you can still see the contents on both sides from the front. The also have marks at the top and bottom so they will stack nicely and not slide around.

I currently use the Stack-On variety but after seeing these I may switch.

"Santa" built our boys a lego table for Christmas 2 years ago and the rest go into some carriers similar to the pictures above.

That table is amazing. It'd be great for playing Mechaton.

Currently my collection is scattered all over my GF's house. A fair amount is sorted and put away in drawer storage units, six to be precise, some is still in the boxes the sets come in waiting to be sorted, and there's some tablescraps sitting on the coffee table. :) At some point, after I'm done moving in, I'll be putting together a building table and storage area for my collection.

well as can be seen here: http://www.majhost.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=229266 are pics of my new house, the last bunch of pics are of my new LEGO room under construction.

Nice work, are you doing it all yourself? We bought a 120 year old house about two years ago and have redone the upstairs bath, the kitchen and my daughter's room - all plaster and lath torn out, insulated, and sheetrocked. On the first floor we have to pull bricks out from in between the studs. I can only presume they were used as heat mass, but with baseboard heating and aluminum siding it works more like cold mass now. The next step is to gut the entire first floor and open up the floorplan.

I want to take pics of my sorting/storage solution, as it's highly portable due to the minuscule nature of the house - no LEGO room for me this time around - maybe the next house will have a suitable Comics/LEGO mancave ;)

yes doing the work myself, whats funny is my wife calls it my man cave

Well I've started filling up my LEGO room heres some pics:

[vynsane]

Now I see why you're so disparaging of LDD - you have a computer barely capable of running it :P J/K... I'm just jealous, since I don't have 'my own space'. I can't wait until we're finished with the work on our house so we can buy a slightly larger house that needs only slightly less work ;)

I keep all my LEGO in IKEA Billy bookcase with glass door. It could fit the set with baseplate of 32X32 like police station and fire station, and it is good to store space police and star wars collection.

How much space do you have for lego sets?

In the picture I have I have a pretty good amount of space left...

For my birthday which is coming up in april I'm asking for a lot of sets

Droid Gunship
AT-AP
Republic AV-7 Anti-Vehicle Cannon
Coruscant Police Gunship
Jabbas Sail Barge
Jabbas Palace
Millenium Falcon
(my parents are divorced so i'm not spoiled)

So those will fill up the shelf above the sets in the picture. Pretty tight on space after that

We have the "lego room". It's a normal sized bedroom. I'm still fighting the battle to display most of my sets. Space is always an issue but if you have a lot of large, easily adjustable shelves and set them up efficiently you can display a lot more than you may realize.

Shelf/ storage cost is just part of collecting.

[vynsane]

We've been doing a lot of work on our house since we moved in ~5 years ago. The vast majority of my collection was in the attic for about two years while we did renovation work on our upstairs rooms. In that time we redid three bedrooms and have moved everything from one room to another room completely. What was our office became our bedroom, what was our bedroom became our daughter's room and what was our daughter's room became my wife's office (I don't have a home office desk anymore, we just don't have the space).

I moved about half of it to under our bed and my dresser sometime last year after our bedroom was more or less settled. My wife got her office in order and there were a bunch of cubby type shelves leftover from when my daughter was in there, which is now where that segment of my collection is stored. I have some built sets on my dresser (the most recent X-Wing, A-Wing, Midi-scale Falcon, Parisian Restaurant, Shuttle Adventure, Cuusoo BTTF, Lord Business' Evil Lair, Bug Obliterator and Galactic Titan) but the reality is I won't really have a true space to store/display/build of my own until we move and I have my own office/study/hobby room.

I bought 12 city sets this lego pass & so far have stopped further spending except for a few bricklink orders previous lego pass several years ago spent too much $$ then sold them all, so I want to avoid that spending spree this time

here is pic of sets on the 6' table for building otherwise the boxes are wrapped in garbage bags & pieces in a few plastic bins for storage, then the table is used for jigsaw puzzles another hobby


as for lego porn do internet image search for "lego room" wow serious $$ spent here's a few...

[sketchman]

While all the of the sets I have are built and on display, that is limited to a small IKEA table in the basement along with 3-4 shelves on a utility shelving unit...however, my sons legos (mostly pieces) are in a 4 drawer unit in their bedroom....

[dr_spock]

I am waiting for my kids to grow up and move out. Then more space!

[Neo]

I have a small Lego room with two 4x2 tables for building on one side and Staples modular shelving system for organizing parts on the other side - which I hope to expanding soon. My Lego creations and builds are actually scattered about.

[jessica52877]

I have a "plastic" room in the basement, it currently holds my little tikes obsession but I'm thinking if I can bring myself to get rid of most of the items in there I could have so much more room! Currently we have to 5x5 foot boards on the floor, city all built nicely and an ikea expedit 4x4 shelf (with the middle divider missing to make the squares larger). That is all for city items, Dinosaur and Toy Story too. More city is just in the living room and Star Wars along with other collections in bins.

My newly expanded main Lego storage system

[JustBrickin]

The title says it all! It's cool to look at other people's LEGOs and this is a great way to do it!

Here's mine:


This is how it looks when it's clean. It'll be messy in a few minutes from now.

It's got like 5 windows in the room, two lamps, and a fan so its cool. Not too much...YET!
