So title says it all. I have a sabol case and thinking of upgrading to something better. I'm open to suggestions n pics if you got them!!
What do you carry your fleet in?
Plano tackle boxes are very good. I have one for my X-wing squadrons and one for my Armada stuff.

Plano 787 tackle box: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00469G2JO/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1456714493&sr=8-1π=SX200_QL40&keywords=plano+787&dpPl=1&dpID=41Ak1Ptmp-L&ref=plSrch
I have almost 100 ships in it. The huge ships don't fit (obviously), but as long as you don't have duplicates of the larger large ships, it all fits just fine.
Another for Plano trays here. I store them all in the big tackle box, and have a tray for carrying only what I need for that day if I'm doing a tournament so I don't have to lug that big thing around the store.
The core box. It's the perfect size, it's sturdy, it's cheap, and I have like 50 of them.
I'm yet to find a 100pt list that I can't fit in it.

I also use this, it's nice to have the two smaller trays for tokens, and there's a variety of different sized spaces in the trays. The top will also fit epics if you want to, its long enough for a corvette but it's a tight fit.
Not sure how you fit 100 ships in there though, I have around 60 and it's getting a bit cramped with dials and cards in there as well. And that's with some of the smaller ships just piled on top of one another.

Yeah I just want something big enough for all my tokens and I play rebels and soon to be scum. I'm only picking up 2 of each ship tho too so would this work?

Two of each,sure......
But yes you should be fine with just rebs and scum. Do really consider the fact that you will eventually probably expand to imperials and/or get more of the rebel and scum ships. Plus there's many more waves to come....
I'm worried about the Ghost when it comes out lol
Best storage you can get the fit all the ships and you can leave all the small ships on there pegs and base. I currently have 7 of these cases stacked togeather full of ships when wave 8 gets here it will be a stack of 8 witch is not good as the wife is starting to notice how high the stack is getting

I just have to ask...
Why do you have 50 Core Set boxes?!?
Plano 732. I have at least 1 of everything from waves 1-6 other than the lambda, a second core and the force awakens core. There's still a little room to grow before I have to get another case.

Hounds tooth? Unless you take the plastic out I don't know you can fit that in there. Very useful though and effectively free as a carry case.
This looks perfect. What is this???
I like their cases. Not bad. I wasn't a fan of their foam tho when I used it with DZC.Thanks for sharing. If the foam was a bit more sturdy
This looks perfect. What is this???
Those are the Plano trays. I know the front ones are 3750's. They're modular so you can make the spaces different widths depending on your ships. I use these in a 1374 tackle box. Only ship I currently have that doesn't fit is the Hound's Tooth, but i basically just modified the plastic tray out of one of the core boxes and put it in the top of the tackle box to set it in so it doesn't bounce all over the place in there.

I use the big Plano for my small based ships. It's the Plano 1337 or something close? It holds almost all my Imperials, Scum, and Rebels. I think I had to take out 2 Tie Fighters as I don't quite have room. I've got over 50 small based ships.
I do have those other Plano shown above for my Epic. I put them in a box I got from Michael's that is Star Wars related. It's not quite big enough for me to get my 3rd one in and store all my large based ships.
My large based ships just go in a plastic tool box that I got from Walmart. I really wish there was a way to fit them all into something, but that's just too many ships, to be honest. 3 Epic, almost all the large based ships, and over 50 small based ships gets to be a lot. It's the large and huge based ships that are the real problem.

First thing you'll want to do to get yourself more space in there is take the cards out and put them in this: http://www.amazon.com/Ultra-Pro-PRO-BINDER-Leatherette-Sideloading/dp/B004FVJDV2/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1456751713&sr=8-3&keywords=ultra+pro+binder
I have two of these binders, one for pilot cards and one for upgrades. I have everything sleeved in FF card sleeves. That really helps so that the upgrade cards all stay put in the side loading pockets (two cards per pocket). Everything else though should fit in the tackle box (except epic, sure they might fit, but they eat up a lot of valuable space.
I'll break down where everything is in mone if you think 100+ ships still wouldn't fit. Since you have my exact tackle box, I'll just start from the top and work my way down. You should be able to follow along...
The lid has two compartments, one on either side. Here is where I store my rebel and imperial dials. They weren't too jumbled of a mess, as I have several baggies separating them all, and it will be a snug fit for the empire after wave 8 and imp aces, but I think they will fit.
Next is under the lid. On the left I have my templates, on the right I have my damage decks and a few small bases, and in the middle I have bombs, range rulers, asteroids/debris, a hound's tooth, and a lambda. A jumpmaster and a ghost should fit in here too I think. I have the lambda in its plastic still, but the 666 is loose. Behind lhat main compartment is a deep, narrow tray. On each side I have several small bases (partly to keep things away from the lid when it shuts, I've bent cardboard corners that way), and then large bases on one side and and all the large base cardboard on the other side. In the middle I have all the scum dials in a few baggies. Pretty sure that 5 more dials will fit for wave 8. But for the large cardboard bases... theres not enough room for 4 more. I'll just put them in the main cavity under the lid here I think. If they fit.
Ok, lets move into the front now. Open up the front face and there are 4 plano trays. Let's start with the deeper one up top. In the 2 large spaces, I have a VT49 and 3 K-wings in one (stacked interlocking) and both types of rebel PWTs in the other (somewhat on top of each other). In the smaller spaces, I have (or will have) 4 T-70s, 6 TIE/fos, and 2 TIEs from the gonzati (the ties are all two to a space), 4 B-wings (two to a space as well), and 2 HWKs sharing a slightly larger space. 24 ships in all.
Then we have the 3 thinner trays underneath. I have them separated by faction. They all have their small cardboard bases separated out by ship type as well. In the rebel tray, I have 5 T-65s, 4 Z-95s, and 4 Y-wings in the larger boxes in the last line. There will also be an attack shuttle in there. There's still like 4 more spots for ships (probably getting a couple more Z's for a Blount firing squad). Then in the imperial tray, we have (will have) 4 bombers, 6 interceptors, 3 phantoms, 4 TAPs, and also the ship pegs are in here. And finally for scum we have 8 Z-95s, 4 Y-wings, 3 starvipers, and 4 K-fighters. 14 ships, 17 ships, and 19 ships respectively.
But that's not all the ships you say! You're right. In one of the side compartments, there are two small trays. One has all my dice and tokens I will need. The other has 2 E-wings, 4 Scyks, 4 TIE advanced, 6 A-wings, and has room for possibly 3 mist hunters. If it doesn't Z's can go over there and make room. 19 more right there.
And lastly, in the other side compartment is one deeper small tray. In the two bigger sections of the tray, I have 6 ships; 2 firesprays in one, and 2 IGs and 2 punishers in the other. The punishers interlock quite well and you can lay the IGs in there so that their noses sit beneath and on top of the punishers. Then I have 8 TIES and will have 4 defenders (I have (will have) a 5th, but it wont fit anywhere...) 18 more ships there.
There's a pocket in the back I haven't done anything with, so maybe I can buy something to put back there to store my current list in or something.
So there you have it. Over 100 ships. I'm set until after imperial veterans. Then it will be time to buy another one of these boxes. This storage system is the easiest one I think. Spent $140 for the 2 binders and the tackle box and that's all I needed to do.
