The stackable plastic crates/boxes that i have from Ikea have lids but they rest on top as opposed to snapping shut tightly. You can just move the lid off really easily. The also have an insert with a handle for being extra tidy and sorting things. DS1 is quite tidy and like his things fairly well laid out. (Wonder who he gets that from?)
But at least having a lid means they are all stackable and they are clear so the kids know what's in each one (blocks, playdough, trains, paper, junk!).
DS has his in nice wooden baskets - 3 of them in fact. He has sooooo many thanks to his daddy "Oh that's a cool one! We better get it" (big kid) He also has a Hotwheels tin that fits about 30 cars in it in little compartments, and he seems to get the ones out that are flavour of the moment and carts them around in that.
We just have them in a big old bucket. Easy to access them and easy to put them away. I am, however, embarrassed to say that his collection is starting to outgrow it.
Don't have any toy cars yet but I have seen people use those things that use for shoes to hang in wardrobe you know clear plastic front and then a number of pockets - and then hang on the wall, at suitable height for easy access (Might be more suitable for older when want to display the cars though)
we use those ikea tub drawer things. we bought the white 3-stack drawer holder that came with it. works really great (we dont put the lids on...they are packed in the cupboard).
