| Take your bricks to work in style with this Lego briefcase! Nine 8cm x 12cm x
9cm compartments fit half a sandwich, an apple, a small carton of milk, and anything
else you can think of. There are even three removable baseplate lids for building
on your desk.
In all seriousness, the Build-N-Store Chest, released 33 years ago in 1990, is
pretty awesome. Where is the kid with the bowl cut taking his Lego. To school?
The office? A gap year in Paris? It doesn't matter. This set (565-2) oozes
end-of-the-century goodness from the overly-excited girl with the bangs and the
pink polo to the orange Toys-R-Us price tag.
This particular example is over 99% complete. The box and instructions are tattered,
as you can see, but the chest itself and all the parts are mint—I don't think
they've ever been played with. Some of the flower petals can even be found
clinging to their sprues. I've replaced the steering wheel and one of the
black antennas with pieces from my collection. Otherwise, everything is original.
The only thing missing is the 50cm cord.
Please feel free to message me if you're interested in buying this unusual
piece—I'm happy to send additional photos upon request. Though photographed
loose, the parts will be protected by grip-seal bags. My main business is antiques,
so I have plenty of experience safely shipping items of this size.
Hope to hear from you soon!

That was common a long time back. I think they made a red smaller one also.
Just came with an assortment of bricks. There were other briefcases for salesmen
samples if I remember correctly. But I maybe confusing that with the Victoria
Secret party carryall.
