Storage Wars (the constant battle)

By punkmonkey25, in X-Wing

Hey everyone, So I know storage ideas get posted here a lot, so I'm sorry for this repeat.

However, my collection is starting to outgrow my single plano 5231.

I am a casual player that has one of every expansion so far (except the Tantive IV) with my wave IV on the way. Currently I have no room for my transport, and I know once wave IV gets here, I'll either be out of room, or quite packed. I thought about getting a second 5231 (one for rebel, one for imperial) however, I thought maybe there was a better option that could hold the transport, along with the Tantive IV, which I'll eventually get. If anyone has any good, affordable storage solutions, please let me know. I know I'm not interested in the expensive foam storage. Just something to categorize and hold all my ships and tokens. Thanks.

Get more Plano. I got 5 Plano cases and filled them up already, and I still have wave 4 stuff to get.

For the Epic ships (and large ships too), I like the deep removable bin organizers from Home Depot or Harbor Freight. They're great if you save the plastic you ships come in, because it fits right inside.

I went with the Harbor Freight one and saved a few dollars (Have a local store) but the Stanley ones from Home Depot are pretty competitively priced with Amazon prices (and you can do in store pickup)

Here's a picture showing the Transport and Corvette in the Stanley one. There's a link to the thread it came from in the comments section.

I started with a Plano 5231 as well and when I outgrew that one I got a 5230, it's just like the 5231 but without the big clear lid with compartments, so they stack perfectly. I use one for rebels and one for imps and it works great!

plano 1374 even the epics ships will fit up top, I have one for each faction.

i think it about $34 on amazon

Yeah. The nice thing about the 1374 is the 3750 cases that come with it. Very nice to have that larger row up front.

(Assuming that amazon fixed their issue with it. They sent me 3 replacements and all had the incorrect boxes inside.)

My collection grew to the point where I now have six Plano trays. One for templates, tokens and generic parts. That one sits on the table during games. Two for each faction, leaving enough room for a few more ships, and one for the Huge ship tokens, which also holds the Transport.

I got the 1374 after Crabbok's video advice. Do it.
