For whoever cares:
I noticed that some planos are on sale at amazon
I know the 1374 & 7771 are for sure and it looks like its a fishing equipment sale so maybe other tackle boxes are on sale too.
Happy Hunting
Planos on sale on Amazon
Not a bad thing to know. Now that I have a transport, I definitely need a bigger box...If only I had the money
I'm eyeing that 7771.... does anyone have one? I'd like to know if its trays hold the falcon/shuttle/firespray before I pull the trigger on it.
I use the 1364, which came with 4 of the smaller 3600-series boxes. I can store the falcon and the firespray in their respective faction box, but the shuttle was a little too wide, and I couldn't close the lid. It sits in its original clear tray in the storage area on top with the movement templates, the dials, and the big ships' bases. I don't know if the 3700-series boxes are taller as well as wider, allowing a shuttle to fit.
However, as I'm one TIE fighter or bomber and one A-wing away from filling the current box, I may be able to report back in the not too distant future.

I have both the 1374 & 7771
The 1374 uses 4 of the 3750 Trays
http://www.planomolding.com/product.php?PID=953
Which are 2 inches high with the bottom row being 6 large adjustable sections.
you can fit 2 Falcons (3 sections each), 3 shuttles/firesprays (2 sections) or 6 hawks (1 section each) in that bottom row,
I always cut the clamshell packaging to size so nothing moves.
As for the top storage that'll give you approx. 14.25" X 8" so you can easily fit the CR90 when it comes out, currently its holding two more 3750 trays
The 7771 comes with 4 of the 3701 trays, and maybe a 3500, cant remember
http://www.planomolding.com/product.php?PID=749
Which is 1.38 in High, so that cant fit large ships (Amazon says it's interchange with any 3700 series but its not) but max number of compartments is 35 so you can easily fit 35 ships per tray. Xs, Ys, As, Tie Bombers/Interceptors/Advanced all fit wonderfully with this tray once again with the clamshell cut to size. (The Tie Fighter fits but a very tight fit so I kept it in the 3750 trays)
The large area right of the trays can fit a 3504
or 3 3500s
http://www.planomolding.com/product.php?PID=945
As for the Top storage the Center is app 9.25" X 9.5" so you can fit about 2/3 GR75s depending on how you cut the clamshell, The left area is about 5.25" X 9.5" and holds 2 Plano 3500s or I imagine another GR75. The right comes with dividers that make 4 5.375" X 2-2.75" X 3" Tall section thats I use to store all my dials. The exterior has alot more storage than the 1374 and holds all my tokens.
They actually both compliment each other rather well, Hope this helps!
TL:DR the 1374 holds larges ships not the 7771, but 7771 has more storage options.

I had done my HW before buying and thats why I went with the 3700 series, For game nights/Events/Tourney a single 3750 can hold just about any list plus are cards, tokens, dials, and maneuver templates it also fits perfectly in my small fully packed camelbak so its great for traveling.
Thanks! That about decides me to start with the 1374, and then someday build in to the 7771!
