hope these pics work, here's what we have done and these rest is stored in the lego head, draws and boxes and all the instructions are in paper boxes, we have two of them full.

THanks for the photos vickynleon, the notice boards look like they work really well. We have been getting the free offcuts of chipboard/wood that you can get from ikea, then glueing lego plates to it to make a base for DS & DD lego models

Sainsburys in store have today reduced Lego City pens from £10 to £1.

If you're looking for inspiration and want an MSE way to do it, check out Ikea Hackers. There's some divine hacks for storage on there and the link below is a search result for Lego. My simple idea was a Lack coffee table with base plates glued on but I love vickynleon's amazing looking noticeboards.

Thanks for all the suggestions for Lego storage, I wasn't expecting such a big response! Brill ideas and I love the notice boards! You're so organised with all the sets separated with their instruction leaflets, ours is all kind of mixed together which is a shame.

Will have a chat with the kids and see what they think, and will have a study of suitable boxes. I do really love the notice boards they are absolutely brilliant.

Thanks everyone and happy Lego bargain hunting

I managed to bag a technic helicoptor (from 60 dosn to 30) and also the ninjago dragon (90 down to 45) last night at Tesco extra in havant, they had at least 6 heli sets and 3 dragon sets.
They also had one or maybe two city police station sets on the shelf at 36 (down from 71).
The helm's deep set SEL showed it reduced to £88, but there was no stock on the shelf.
