Is 1 year old not a little young? IIRC Lego themselves don't recommend giving bricks to children under the age of three because of the choking hazard.

I'd also personally not give a young child access to all the rare stuff until they'd demonstrated that they'd handle the product with care. I don't say this in the sense that your son's ill-behaved or anything (obviously, aside from anything else I don't know your son!) but more some children have rougher playstyles than others. I know I was a very sensitive child and always gentle with my toys, whereas some of my friends were more rough-and-tumble - nothing wrong with that, but they were more likely to have breakages. From your picture you have a few expensive raised baseplates. It might be better to keep those and other fragile/valuable parts back for later. Your storage is looking good though

I would buy some duplo and keep your vintage blocks out of reach.

Hi does anyone know of any plastic drawers that are very deep and not as tall? I'm also looking for plastic drawers that are clear and not so opaque, but it seems as all plastic drawer quality has gone downhill since the early 2000s.

How deep do you need them to be? The ones I use are 14cms long.

Not clear, but the best I have found.

I gave him the right to inherit the collection, not the bricks themselves. Those are still under my domain

Does anyone know why the Large storage green skeleton head is not available on the US Lego store?

Why do you post this question in this topic?

Pls remove it.

Because it has to do with both Lego and storage.

In the States these ones from Ace are better than AkroMils IMO.
