Little plastic bags

Gentlemen of the Forum,

As a keen and constant purchaser of Pendraken products (All hail the Dark Lord!) I have, over the period of years, acquired many yellow envelopes and many, many tiny plastic baggies. The enveloped go straight into the bin, because I can't seem to open them without getting covered in grey powder.

The wee plastic boggies though have accumulated. I started with a wee bag of bags, and then moved to a bigger wee bag of bags. Now I have more bags that will fit into the biggest wee bag.

What then, Gentlemen of the Forum, do we (the bruises on the Pendraken sculptor) do with our excess wee bags? Do they get binned? Do you use them as tiny landfill for  wargames hills? Do you recycle them for the easy transport of slightly less than legal talcum like substances?

There must be a sensible way to dispose of these cheeky little fellows?

My other half takes all my  small bags for beads and stores damp clay in  the bigger ziplock bags  as it stays damp  in them overnight

You could just bundle them all up together and give them to a charity shop I am sure someone would buy them
If I were creating Pendraken I wouldn't mess about with Romans and  Mongols  I would have started with Centurions , eight o'clock, Day One!

For FSN that would mean just selling them back to Pendraken

Board game components - if you don't need those baggies for power points, wooden sheep, influence tokens, cargo demand counters and the like you are not a real gamer, merely a dilettante  ;D

I save all mine for when I sell figures online which I never do.
Buy plenty of Matron's sculpts now!

If he keeps using the chainsaw, the value of his work will soon go up.

You HAVE got a spycam over here haven't you ?
Otherwise that's  a somewhat creepy coincidence.
Will explain later. ;)
I dunno....Sunday, and I'm STILL pushing putty around !  X_X

I re-use the grip-seal and jiffy bags that stuff gets posted to me in, to stuff things in and post back out. Same with cardboard boxes and those funny foam things that are used for packaging.

Lister: "Oh God, aliens... Your explanation for anything slightly peculiar is aliens, isn't it?

Rimmer: "Well, we didn't use it all, Lister. Who did?"

Lister: "Rimmer, aliens used our bog roll?"

I use them the same way Ithoriel does, we're a gaming family and they're excellent for Board Game components.

I just keep them in a little box, and whenever i have a spare part of something i put it in one and write where it came from.

Really helpfull with all those model kits around that can be assembled in 2 or 3 ways.

All good suggestions, but I still seem to have a surfeit.

Perhaps I will dump donate them to a charity shop.

Yes, indeed. I gave a big stack of mine to a mate who collects boardgames. Otherwise, they do what they set out doing - enclosing made-up units of whatever period I might get around to finishing at a later date; in other words, various elements of my lead mountain. 
When you realise we're all mad, life makes a lot more sense.

Don't send them to us, we've got enough of the things here!  There must be some kind of 'life hack' that you can use them with.   :-\
