    We have DS' in a set of storage drawers but that's not what you want, so was thinking maybe a cute/nice box? Ikea have great ones

    Ikea are definitely worth a look . Otherwise you can buy brightly coloured crates these days, I think from Kmart?

    We have an overflow of cars here too lol!

    You can buy from places like KMART a slotted/compartmentalised storage box with a hinged lid for around $20 - I think they are Hot Wheels brand and are blue. They are built specifically for matchbox/hot wheels cars.

    Just went and counted - they fit 48 cars and are called a Hot Wheels Carry Case, they look really nice and are a good way to store the cars. You could get a couple and stack them on top of each other.

    We use big tubs and sit them on top of their lids.
    I used to have shelves and systems but I find that it's easier for the boys to tidy up if they can just throw stuff into tubs so now we only have shelves for books.

    We have an old mini-fridge that DS uses as a toy chest. It doesn't seal so is safe but has a lot of space to put toys.

    We have them in the drawers of the train table, however I second the plastic tub idea - brightly coloured ones would keep them tidy and look great in a toy area!!
