I know what you mean! I have a few also so I just taped all the parts in that box to the front of the box. I also have a lot of boxes I get from work. I.E. computer boxes. I label them the same way.

I would still buy this set! But like someone said already why would Lego design such a large set without a purpose. For the sake of being large? They have never done that. Also consider this was never meant to be a modular set or be compatible though your never restricted from doing so. Modulars have a specific design concept that other models do not have. They are meant to be expanded! All modular sets have this expandability in mind and Lego greatly encourages buying multiple sets to do this. Even though I would still buy the set without the GB stamp, I would never buy more than one because of the price! Also anyone who complains that it doesn't have the stackable appeal of the modulars hasn't put on together. Each level is capable of being removed. I guess with some serious Mods it could be a expandable modular. But again....it's a Ghostbuster set!

I don't necessarily have a budget but I do try and keep to about $350/month. That includes sets, PAB and Bricklink. Though I spend quite a bit of that in Bricklink. I love the PAB wall at my local store but I clean out drawers frequently! Having a large project to build keeps me going but I do love the creator/modular sets and for some reason I keep buying the blue power jet. I have 5 sets! I plan to buy more! Its just an awesome set. From what I see on youtube of others collections I can't imagine budgets under $1000s/yr. I can easily see me getting a second job to support the habit!

I love these by Stanley! http://www.stanleytools.com/en-us/products/storage/tool-boxes/organizer/deep-professional-organizer/014710r

Sorry I posted somewhere else before here. Was too excited to join!

I joined the forum when I found this topic on google search. I can't believe a LUG is re-surfacing!! AWESOME! I went to the website and saw a couple familiar faces from the Lego store! I think I will have to check you guys out.
