Storage solutions

By TGO, in X-Wing

I use Plano tackleboxes. Go to ****'s Sporting Goods if you're in the US and wander around the fishing section.

Edit: hilarious. Go to Richard's sporting goods? Male genitalia sporting goods?

That has to be the funniest (mis)use of the censor i've ever seen on this forum. I'm from Canada, but have been to the store in question while in the States.

I got some plano cases at walmart, it was the deep ones but i dont have the sticker on them anymore. Anyway when you buy them, make sure they have enough "seperator" tabs inside them, as I bought a case that bearly had any in it, had to bring itb ack to get more.

This guy is what I use and it's great. I also use the 3D printed box Arttemis pictured above- it's really nice.

This thing is great.....at first. Then, you need a second one. Then....a third....and fourth. At that point, it gets too unwieldy. That's why I like the Plano 1374. :)

****'s Sporting Goods has it all. I love shopping at ****'s Sporting Goods! ****'s Sporting Goods was started by **** Stack in 1948; ****'s Sporting Goods now has locations in every state except Alaska, Hawaii, and Montana, so it should be pretty easy to find a ****'s Sporting Goods near you.

Edit : Actually, I just looked on ****'s Sporting Goods' website. They don't have my preferred Plano box, which is this one: https://www.amazon.com/Plano-Double-LockJaw-Organizer-5231-01/dp/B0063KDWV0

Dammit, ****'s!

I like the details of Battlefoam's C4 best; but she's pricey. I've tried the Plano double as shown above and the top part is cool for tokens, but I don't like the manipulatable dividers; they don't stay put for me. I like the Stanley 014725 as it has removable compartments:

I use these for my collection.

Here is a shot of them in action, though this is before the recent wave. (Instagram, black toolbox is for Armada, Vader binder is for all the upgrade cards)

As Chad has pointed out, styles like this end up getting pretty bulky. I've got seven stacked on top of each other at the moment, and they contain every ship (most in multiples) currently released, barring Epic (they won't fit epic without wasting a ton of space, and I'd rather have the Epic ships on display). One box is also devoted to my brother's Tournament box, which contains everything he needs to play, and will contain whatever list he's running that night. The rest of the boxes don't have tokens, just ships/bases/chits/dials.

This is what I use for my tournament box. (Store link)

I'm a big fan. It's a little unfortunate if you're at an event without ANY room on the side of the mat, but most of the times, that's not an issue. I'm able to store whatever ships I need in the larger area, and the two trays are where I store all my tokens/damage deck/obstacles/list. Eventually I need to make foam core structure to section off the bottom area, just so it can be a little neater, but this has been extremely functional for me.

I'm also a believer of the Stanley Fat Max. Especially for game day. The mini containers inside are great for setup and transport of game pieces from board to board.

In Australia Bunnings has these for $10, fit all standard play ships except my Ghost.
