So after wave 4 I needed to rethink my storage.

I found I was pulling a specific type of pilot and PS so I bought another Plano box solely for firing arcs, dials, maneuver templates and small cards.

With the above setup I can even violently shake the box and everything stays "in order". It is not for the squeamish of the OCD to watch, but it sure is fun!!

But this setup makes grabbing and putting pilots in easier than I had prior with all components in one area with the ship. Easy with wave 1 and 2. not so easy now. And I have room for the larger wave 5 ships!!

This isn't optimal card solution but I have the cards I need most split up to where I can get weapons and astromechs and then crew/medals/ etc. As well as damage cards and ship's bases.

I then use FFG deckboxes to hold the larger card pilots.

the cards "under glass" are Soonter and Biggs. If I did tournaments I would put chits and small cards in the bottom containers. I did some work on them to fit the small cards.

I still keep my original plano box for the majority of chits and maneuver rules and range rulers. 5s go with the range rulers and all the rest of the maneuvers split up for each player.

Thanks for sharing my OCD with me. I like when people post their storage ideas so I figured I would share my own.

thanks!!

Constant reorganization is one of my favorite parts of this game. I was actually excited on my birthday when my brother sold me out on going to the movies and I got to stay home and just reorganize my gear.

My collection has slowly gotten worse and worse over the months.

I'm using one of those same plano boxes for each faction.. yes one each for rebels and imps.. lol.. I need to do some house keeping on them though...

These plans are my favorite low cost storage solution I've found so far. I'm not at the point where I need one per faction, I like having a single go to place. But, as I drown in target locks, I find myself thinking I'll have to make a "regular use" box and a spares/less often used box.

I went to a 3rd box. 1 for each faction and the 3rd for the dials, ship token firing arcs, cards and bases.

I think I need to reorginize as well... just too cluttered for my slight OCD issues.. lol.. and those target locks.. I gotta sort and separate those in individual bags so I can just grab em and give em out..

I have six Plano trays. Two each for Rebels and Imperials, one for tokens and one for the Huge ship tokens and templates.

I keep them in a duffel bag that's long enough for two stacks of three trays, end to end, with the two rules/pilot card binders, upgrade card binder and the CR90 in its shoebox on top.

Its getting to be a heavy piece of luggage.

Get some of those little rubber bands for pony tails. They work great for banding the target lock pairs together as well as the number token trios.

I am the SAME as you Brother... but it is fun to mess around with to be sure.

The clump in plastic is a bunch of card holders still unwrapped.

Joe.. I have those same 2 vinyl stickers for mine as well (i have them centered on the lids).. lol... I took my ship cards out of the sleves.. I have enough and they dont get abused, but I do have all the upgrades in sleeves..

Just need to sit down and sort and sort and sort.. lol I need to take everything out and find a good order.. that is the part I am dreading.. lol

Should it be CDO not OCD......

I have OCD and ADD. Everything has to be perfect, but not for very long.
