My father will be riding his harley out to Fl next month and i'm looking to sweet talk him into stopping by and building a box for his granddaughter. About how many pieces can fit into the $20 box? Thx for any help.

    Don't know anything about the $20 box. Sorry.

    You can fit a heck of a lot into a box if you do it right!!!

You just stuff the stuff in as much as you can. Pick the biggest items you HAVE to have first try to orient them in a way you can use the least space and still fit them in the box, then stuff smaller stuff around those. Don't waste your money on a potato here, buy one at Target or something later. There are WAY more pieces than you'll be able to stuff in either container so you'll either have to buy multiples or prioritize. Some of the pieces like Buzz Lightyear's vehicle, are HUGE. I'd check to see if you can just buy some pieces separately. It seems like you can for some unreasonable price (maybe $3) but that might be worth it for huge pieces. Good luck!
