New Lock N Lock Multi print cannisters - really disappointed

These are adorable new prints; however, I was hoping it would be a "choice of".  I have absolutely no room for six new, non-nestable containers.  PLEASE MAKE THESE AVAILABLE TO PURCHASE INDIVIDUALLY!  OR, would love for these new prints to become available in a nesting set of various sizes!!!

Re: New Lock N Lock Multi print cannisters - really disappointed

I'm getting tired and annoyed with my Lock-n-Lock.  I have too much - way more than we need on a day to day basis, and the bigger ones are only occasional pieces yet I have to store them!  And while the nesting aspect is great for reducing multiple pieces down to a small footprint, I find it bothersome in some ways.  Its kind of a pain to have to take sets apart to find the size I need and then put them all back together again.  LOL - it could keep my granddaughter busy for awhile.  I've also had a few pieces that had the tabs break off.  Another thing that's bugging me is the design change.  Two bottoms can have the same capacity, but they're ever so slightly different in the top edge and lid that it's a must to use the exactly correct lid - old with old and new with new.  Hence, more rifling though everything to get it right.  Sometimes I think I'd like to pitch it all and get a few pieces with screw on lids and be done with it.  Rant over.  Smiley Wink

They cannot charge enough for one canister to make it worth selling singles. It won't happen. That's mathenatics.

@just wonder  They won't sell that size individually. If you want one, find some friends to split them with or give some of them away. I like to buy these for gifts or to give with food.

l like most of the prints, but have no use for 5 different prints.  I thought they should be sold as a set of one print.  I like the lemon ones, but not all of them.

@LizzieInSRQ   I agree.  I did buy some LnL, but only a set of a few pieces.  My odds and ends of storage containers would drive a neatnik crazy, but it works for my one person needs.  And paying for only what I actually use keeps the overall cost okay, too.

@JeanLouiseFinch -I agree about the nestables when the smallest one came out of the dishwasher and I had to take the whole set apart to put it away. 😕💗

Re: New Lock N Lock Multi print cannisters - really disappointed

I'm probably the biggest LocknLock lover on the planet. I have redone my entire pantry and all my backstock storage with LocknLock. I know I have to have hundreds of pieces. 

 

I liked the new canisters too. But like every multi set they put out, there are some prints I love, and always one or two that I just don't care for. I wish we could have picked 6 of the same print, so the whole set matched. If it had been offered that way, I would have bought probably four sets, each in a different pattern. Because it was a mixed set, I passed on it for now. Maybe if it goes on clearance and free shipping I'd pick up a set later.
