LEGO storage container with baseplate
LEGO storage container with baseplate
If you're looking for 10x10 Grey Baseplates, swing by Walmart and grab some of the Lego Plastic Containers. They are pretty useful for storage (I keep my instructions in a few of these), and each comes with a 10x10 Grey Baseplate. Only like $9.99.

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.
Re: LEGO Kingdoms Chess
@Luciant - can you point me to a pic/listing of what you're referring to here? All the containers I've seen have come with green baseplates. Are you saying some have 32x32 stud gray (light or dark?) baseplates?Luciant wrote: If you're looking for 10x10 Grey Baseplates, swing by Walmart and grab some of the Lego Plastic Containers.

^ I think he meant 32x32. :)
If I were to get this set, I need someone to teach me how to play chess. ;)

Well 10"x10" == 32 stud x 32 stud. I get that. It's the rare grey color for this item I'm intrigued about.Legobrandon wrote:^ I think he meant 32x32. :)

It's a dark grey baseplate. Here's a quick picture from my cell.sidersdd wrote:Well 10"x10" == 32 stud x 32 stud. I get that. It's the rare grey color for this item I'm intrigued about.Legobrandon wrote:^ I think he meant 32x32. :)

Wow $10 for that container and a BP?! I need to get some of those. Where did you find them? I've only seen the flat ones at WM.Luciant wrote:It's a dark grey baseplate.

Found them @ Walmart. I have seen a efw on shelves, and have been kinda waiting for them to go Clearance... haven't really been replenishing them. Be sure to check inside... some jerks take the BPs out which make them not worth it.

Re: LEGO Kingdoms Chess
You're probably talking about the Minifig cases... Those are I think like $3 or $5... not really worth it IMO, but the wifey bought me a few..

Re: LEGO Kingdoms Chess
I was talking about these. They are also $10 and include a green BP. And yes, most of these storage cases have broken seals and the BP taken out of them. Oh and are these cases in the LEGO isle or the storage isle?

Re: LEGO Kingdoms Chess
^ Yeah I've only seen that one at Walmart. I've never seen the one that Luciant posted. I'd love to get a couple of those, especially with those grey baseplates!
Re: LEGO Kingdoms Chess
ooh that bigger storage box with the grey baseplate looks kind of useful. Is it only available at Walmart (my Walmart is horrible)?
You could use the big XL grey baseplate and add your own border instead of the moulded grey one.

I've ONLY seen these at Walmart... and I think they are going the way of the Dinosaurs (the real ones).

Re: LEGO Kingdoms Chess
Excellent. I'll be stopping by some Wal-Marts tomorrow. The baseplate alone goes for about $10 on Bricklink. It's only been available in two sets - Space Police Central and Lunar Command. And I like to use those bins for parts as well. Thanks.Luciant wrote:It's a dark grey baseplate. Here's a quick picture from my cell.sidersdd wrote:Well 10"x10" == 32 stud x 32 stud. I get that.

Re: LEGO Kingdoms Chess
Just a side note, some of these also include a gray baseplate. I've found some at Wal Mart with Ninjago on the cover that come with the gray baseplate.Legobrandon wrote:

Re: LEGO Kingdoms Chess
Good to know! But the big one seems like a better deal since the tub is larger and can hold more parts. I have not been to a Walmart in a while so I don't know if they have any of these storage cases in stock.
Re: LEGO Kingdoms Chess
From what I've seen, some only carry the smaller project cases. Other Wal Marts seem to carry both. The Ninjago cases with the gray plates only started showing up a few months back. Prior to that they were all city themed and had the green baseplates. Still a good value considering the plates sell for at least $5. I've bought probably 6-8 of the bigger cases and 2-3 of the smaller. The small cases can be good if you're on the go, I've used them to build while on business trips.
Re: LEGO Kingdoms Chess
I found this Lord of the Rings case at TRU.com. I wonder what color the base plate is,but it is $13.99:

There also is a black Ninjago case...but it doesn't mention the base plate in the description ($11.99)
http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.js ... d=11916152" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
I tried looking on Walmart.com and didn't find them there.

Re: LEGO Kingdoms Chess
This deserves a post of its own! I'll wait and hope it shows up elsewhere, but if I have to I'd pay TRU's price for something that cool!atmail35 wrote:I found this Lord of the Rings case at TRU.com. I wonder what color the base plate is,but it is $13.99:

LOL, we turned a thread speaking about the new chess set to plastic storage containers and baseplates.

lol, funny how conversations go, eh?Legobrandon wrote:LOL, we turned a thread speaking about the new chess set to plastic storage containers and baseplates.
But I only have something to add to the container/baseplate conversation.
I got several of the larger ones with green baseplates several months ago at WalMart. I did see them at TRU a few weeks later, but the price was marked up and most of the green baseplates were gone.
If they're re-releasing these with grey baseplates - I'm all over that. Gonna have to check out WalMarts soon. Hafta go to a bigger one than the one near me, though. Their LEGO selection is small at best, and mostly Star Wars.
