Hello all,
I know there's a bazillion storage threads, however I'm a scrub; I have been unable to find any that specifically say they are able to store the starfighters while they are still on their stands.
Does anyone have any suggestions for this that won't break the bank? Like an affordable Plano box or something.
Look at KR multicase.
I got the Games Product Plus pluck foam and created the appropriate cutouts. Some stuff you're better off taking off the stands like the large ships or the ARC-170s in that system. See: https://www.miniaturemarket.com/accessories/gaming-supplies/game-plus.html
I was able to get 10 X-wings (5 T-70 and 5 T-65) in one 2in. block. 5 units on their bases with two pegs high and 5 on their base one peg high. Also each ship's dial can go in with the ship. I had similar success with regular TIEs, Advanced, Aggressors, Advanced Prototypes, and Interceptors as well as similarly sized Scum and Rebel ships.
I was also able to tailor the blocks to my personal collection and squad-building tendencies and organizational preferences with the pluck foam.
