Advice on Storage

Post by Luciant » Wed Jun 19, 2013 6:32 pm

I have a Lego room for display and storage of my boxed sets for my Bricklink store. My collection mainly sits in my Garage, each set bagged up in Ziplock baggies, and stored in I think 52L Plastic tubs that have a pretty good lid/lock system.

Most of my sets were previously boxed and the bins I stored 'indoors' where the climate was controlled. I keep the boxed sets indoors to ensure moisture levels don't ruin them. My concern is for the sets in my garage, stored in the bins. What are your opinions on this? Will the heat or possible moisture in the garage (I live in Florida, where it's not the heat that will get you, but the humidity) hurt my collection and should I move them indoors?
I have mixed feelings about new releases: I can't wait to see and get the new sets... but I can't figure out where I'm gonna put them or store them.

You could always use something like this. I use it to store comic books.

If you store any kind of regular cardboard box in the garage and those are okay, you should be fine. Lego boxes are glossy, and most bags inside are air-tight. So if a regular cardboard box isn't affected, I don't think the Lego boxes will go bad.

I'd recommend a tackle box for various reasons. Find out more here: http://www.tipmine.com/tipmines/373" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
