$20 for Plano 1374

These seem to consistently be 50-59 bucks when I search for them on Amazon. Where'd you get one for $20?

Awesome! Thanks.

There has to be a cheaper place for foam than that price for joann. If you slice it, it's still $7 per layer. Still....you can get a lot in if you do it yourself.

I did look and find this: https://www.amazon.com/Regular-Upholstery-Support-Wheelchair-Replacement/dp/B01162414G/ref=sr_1_45?s=arts-crafts&ie=UTF8&qid=1467915800&sr=1-45&keywords=2%22+foam&refinements=p_36%3A500-99999999

I had a 50% off anything coupon I used for the JoAnn's foam so it was a good deal at the time.

fortunately all of mine fit in a medium tacklebox and a single binder.

Though if i ever delve into scum that will have to change. There is no room left in there rofl (though i dont carry the ghost around typically since i hate that **** ship)

I wish the Plano 1374 was available in the UK :-(

It's not?!?!? That does suck. Go with the pizza delivery option, then. It looks awesome!

These topics come up often enough. I have talked about mine, but I have recently needed to expand my storage solution and been quite frustrated about it for a while. I am pretty happy with the results that I've gotten now, though.

I post this for those that might get something out of it.

For one, I am an "affordable gamer"....or...a cheapskate. Various foam options are NO WHERE NEAR CHEAP and utterly not needed with these pre-painted minis in my opinion.

When I look at my options here, I spent: $47 total.

$20 for Plano 1374

$10 for 3 Plano 3000 cases for Epic ships

$12 for the Broken Token card case

$5 for the pill case for my tokens.

First off, my Plano 1374:

The top has a little section I put easy to get to things, like spare pegs and all that.

When I open the top, I have a lot of room. I used to keep my CR-90 in here or a bunch of my large based ships, but I needed the room for all my extra stuff. Here is my custom template tray and custom templates:

Removing the tray, you can see I've got a lot of room for my various pilot and upgrade cards, dice, tokens, plastic sleeves, and laser pointer.

I bought a pill container for $5 or so to hold the tokens I use the most.

Here is my Broken Token card solution. I removed a few things like the 8 Determination EPTs that I didn't need, but I still need a little bit more room for all my cards. I'm going to remove the wood separators and add in paper ones.

For my pilot cards, I won a few of these in my early years in the game and they hold all my pilots. I'm showing my Imperials, that I have the most of.

OK....not sure how many photos it lets me post at a time, so on to the next post....
