If you need to move built LEGO sets long distances and do not want to take them apart, you can use the box - bag - padding method. Before moving, blow off the dust. There is no need to move dust to your new place. Take a moving box and securely tape the bottom. We like three strips of tape. Lower an unscented plastic garbage bag into the box. Lower the built LEGO model into the bag in the box. Gently pull up the bag edges up like you would tie it shut. Next, pour Styrofoam peanuts or other padding material between the bag and the box. Other padding materials can be crumpled up paper, or the towels and clothes you are moving. Put a note in the top of the box stating what LEGO sets are in the bag in case you don't want to unpack them all right away. Tape the box closed. When you are done moving, open the box. You can cut the corners of the box and fold them out flat or just lift the bag straight up and let the padding spill out. This method protects the build and keeps the padding material from getting mixed up in the LEGO set. It also helps keep from losing LEGO pieces in the padding material or under the bottom box flaps. Any pieces that fall off will be in the bag with the set.
