Wow... Context OP!

I'll take a photo of my toolbox for Armada. It's pretty awesome what you can make with access to some scrap metal/wood and some tools. Right now I should be good through Wave 2 maybe Wave 3. I have one large box for the ships and one smaller one for the bases and the fighters. Always trying to maximize my space, especially fighters and stands.

I like to take my whole collection for casual play. I may make a 3rd box for travel/tournament play.

I would very much like to see this.

Already clearing space in the Armada case for my new toys!

I built my 2nd shelf last week in preparation for Wave 2.

You can't take a shelf to a FLGS! Silly guy.

I actually just upgraded my box to this:

http://www.canadiantire.ca/en/pdp/plano-7771-guide-series-tackle-box-0785911p.html#.Vks5YKyFOt8

It's bloody huge and right now I have all my not inconsiderable collection in there and there is still lots of room. It's great!

For the record right now packed in there I have:

Core components

3x Vic

3x AFII

4x GSD

5x CR90

4x NebB

3x Rebel and 3x Imperial fighters

2x Raider

1x MC30

1.5x Rogues and Villains

1x ISD

Line Laser

And I'm able to keep all the squadrons partially assembled and still have an entire drawer left for more squadrons and enough room left in the ships compartment for all the wave 2 ships I have coming (including 1 more ISD and 2 MC80).

Can you take a picture and post it showing how well it stores the components?

I would be happy to! Not sure how to post pictures on this forum without having them hosted elsewhere tho...

Cool Stuff Inc shows a release date of November 24th for various Wave 2 products.

Of course, they also claim a November 17th release date for Mask of the Pirate Queen, which is today, but it's still listed as "Pre-Order".

Armada is about to become ISD-hulksmash: The miniatures game

(*gloating*) I already have two ISDs.

(*Not gloating*) It's not quite so easy to hulksmash with them.

Yeah but you might be a bad player... this ain't X-WING afterall.

(*Back to gloating, because you asked for it*)

I don't already have two ISDs (and five tournament medals) because I suck at this game.

(*Moment of clarity*) Well, maybe I do suck, and my opponents just suck worse. Or it could be that most of my wins are from tournaments that I TO'd, and I manipulated the rules, while asking my opponents "Perhaps you think you're being treated unfairly?"

Either way, I'm rocking the Dark Side.

As requested:

I'm still in the middle of painting it, but here you can see the more common components in an easy to access top tray

Immediately under that is the main hangar bay. Easy to see that with a little better organization and stacking the rest of wave 2 will fit ez peazy

This is sloppy until I figure out something better but its where I'm keeping all the bases. I might swap out the stuff to the side of the hangar bay to this compartment to stack these more efficiently

3 of 4 storage trays are in, i use the gap where the fourth would go to keep a binder with upgrade cards

The 3 trays full of fighters and stuff

Small ships and dials and stands

Firespray says HAI!

Brilliant use of the Plano! And good on you for sharing the pics.

I must steal your excellent idea

DAT!

Nah you are fair so maybe you are as good as I and others here are at this stuff. We just don't go to turnies...

Looks like a good setup... cool!

Clearly not as organized as Hastatior... but as promised, my collection housing. And clearly not as much Wave 2 stuff as he has.

External Shot of my ship box.

Interior shot of the bottom of the ship box. Missing components are being played at the moment...or being hacked up for a Neb B2 mod.

2nd tier (or my shelf) in the large toolbox. Expecting my ISD's and MC80's will go here. I know I can get my other Shrimp and Raider in the bottom of the box. Should have room for some of Wave 3... no rush to find out if it does/doesn't.

My squadron and bases box. I may re-design this to incorporate a 2nd tier. Depending how R&V and the bases fit into the existing setup.

This was pretty easy to do. I have access to leftover wood from making my Armada table topper and the 3/4" brackets are just scrap steel from work with black powdercoating held on with rivets. I bought the foam in sheets and have a bunch left for future expansion. I'd say total... $50 in materials. Maybe!?!

(*More gloating*) Oh, I failed to count properly before. I have five medals. I wear them on a black military jacket with several different Empire patches when I really want to antagonize my opponents and encourage the Dark Side of the Force to affect the Dice Side of the Force. (Imperial hubris seems to work!)

But if you did want to come to my area and play a tournament, I'd be happy to TO one just for you...

Daaaamn dude that is a huge box!! you got room till wave 5 in that thing. I like the shelf idea and the pluck foam.

So I am finding that my main FLGS is not getting wave in till past the 26th supposedly. . .

Depends if they keep putting out ISD sized ships. If they keep to things no larger than the AF, I'll be better off.

The box was the largest in a 4 pack from Harbor Freight. I think it's 21 or 22" wide and something like 10" deep from bottom to the bottom of the lid.

Thats what you get from being so far from the center of the Canadian FFG universe. Yes, Brantford. ugh.

I won't lie. I'm hoping this is like every purchase I've gotten through my FLGS so far. If I ask for something early enough the previous day, FFG's warehouse would have it there the next day via UPS.

I'd like to grab a 2nd rogues pack. That would put the collection at two of everything.

Looks like that leaky boat will now head back this way, perhaps getting here just in time for that Christmas Barbie or New Years fireworks at the Opera House.

I am looking at 3 to 5 of them for the R&V. . .

I'm waiting to get a taste. And then likely foaming at the mouth with the need to save up $20 to get another pack.

And then finding out you can't get any. And continue foaming in the corner.

If it's any consolation, I won't be wearing the jacket in question on Friday.

Of course, if you do manage to win, you won't have a medal to show for it either.

I am your nemesis.

I have not been lured by R&V at all. I didn't even put any on pre-order back when I ordered my ISD and Raiders.

...

Unless I did, and I just don't remember. But still, if I did it was so unmemorable because I have been so not lured by the R&V, so the argument stands.

(But I really should put a set on pre-order while I can still get the 15% discount, because I'll probably want them when the time comes for me to change my mind.)
