what worked best for storage

I

I like the portability of the sterilite.  I found this at dollar general on sale, they only had four though

These were on sale for a dollar each they are really good for holding bigger tires

These are the best storage things I've found for lego, portable and many compartments

These are from staples andni think callednthe really useful box, they were great for small unique pieces when lego made heroically games and started making gold pieces.  These are hard to open multiple times in a row due to latches but they hold shut well too

The thinner smaller boxes are great for mini figs, not deep and see through

These "it" storage boxes have latches that pull apart and really seal the air out

And of course my favorite STERILITE!!!  I should own stock in them.  I like these sizes for the amount of lego they hold.  They stack well but the only problem is that in have to pour out the legos to get to the bottom ones.  However, you can see most of what's in them.and the latch style are stackable due to flat lids whereas the show off style have ridges that slightly interlock making them stack sturdy without worry of bumping easily over!
