How do you store your 'leftover' bits ?

[Eberk]

Thanks guys. These are some good suggestions. I'll look out for small boxes, trays, cabinets...

I use these littel bead craft boxes form Hobby Lobby. They are about $2.00 US each. They work great.



Also please don't throw away bits. If you don't want them offer them on here and just have someone pay post for shipping. I about cried when I heard all those conversion opportunities going out with the trash.

I agree with most folks that sprues take up too much room. The only thing I keep on the sprue are those elements that have to work together (these two arms, this arm with that weapon, etc.)

Other than that, I go with small jars from spices, pet treats, and the occasional peanut butter jar. I divide them by army, and sometimes use little ziplocs to keep certain elements together. They're free, they stack well, and they're transparent so I can look for things without having to dump stuff all over the table.



And I second greendestiny's "please don't throw bits away." At the very least, see if your FLGS does trade-ins for their own bitz bin.
