When a player has been playing [[Tabletop Games|tabletop wargames]] or building model kits for a while, he (or she) will eventually accumulate a collections of unused model parts, old toys, parts of display models, pieces of junk, and other things that remain from previous modeling projects.
Few gamers will actually throw all this stuff away, and will instead put it all in a box or drawer for future use. Y'know, [[Crazy Prepared|just in case.]] This is known as a '''Bitz Box'''.
