I am still sitting on my conversion kits because I am just not interested in putting them in sleeves and storing them in binders like my 1.0 collection. I’m liking the idea of a box with dividers.

How are people storing their cards, cardboard chits, and dials these days?

I've put the pilot cards and ship tokes in a binder like 1e. Medium and large ship tokens are in a see-through pencil "case" that fits in the 3 ring binder. Upgrade cards are in a cardboard box with dividers.

The chits, dice templates and range rulers as well as obstacles, bombs and mines are in a Plano case. This carries all the extra bits needed for a game. The dials are a pain. Straight out of the box they are too big to nest in a Plano case. I'm thinking of having one of the guys print up eight dial holders. I can then dispose of the outer ring and just use the dial face. These will nest perfectly in a Plano case.

My wife and kids eat a lot of cookies. (I prefer salty snacks because I play X-wing, so I'm salty.) One day I noticed the plastic inserts that come with most big-name cookie brands are rounded like dials. I haven't found the best fit yet. Chips Ahoy are a little too big and Oreo aren't quite round and deep enough. I'm convinced there is a perfect fit out there to be able to use cookie inserts as dial storage in boxes. Don't worry. My family will persist.

Sounds like something me and my family will look into as well....

Are you talking about these for cards?

District Foundry card dividers on Etsy

Or are you looking for things like coin pages/dividers for dials? I thought I saw something about coins, or oversized coin cardboard boxes for storage of dials... maybe something from here? I don't have access to dial measurements at this moment:

Edit: I store all my cardboard and plastic ships in these cases. They are perfect height and even hold the ghost! one for every faction:

I just use a basic cardboard box like this with card dividers printed out on card stock. I bought a binder and a lot of really nice card pages, but I very quickly got tired of constantly shifting cards and having to sleeve and unsleeve the cards when building lists from the binder. I prefer keeping all of my cards sleeved in easy to navigate card boxes.

...

Got some leftover MtG deckboxes and fat pack boxes I use

Binders. Because I like being able to find my stuff.

I dont know about the cardboard boxes. But i use a binder with the sleeves coin collectors use for the dials.

Those are pretty nice. How 'bout a link to the print files? *wink, wink* *nudge, nudge*

edit: I found a cardboard box of more or less appropriate size and built dividers into it, then cut cardstock dividers for upgrades v. pilot cards. Then covered the box exterior with chopped-up 1E pilot cards. It's...functional, and not too bad looking. But I fear the day the upcoming Waves overwhelm its relatively limited space.

I have a dragon shield 2 compartment plastic card box for now. I have 3 4 compartment ones should be here any time now. Then,i have a nice "travel box sized for one normal MTG deck. That way, I'll have my crards sorted for storage and fleet building and the travelbox for the ones picked out to take with me. The dials and cardboard, I have on lil plastic storage containers (for now. Ships that fit, I have plastic compartmented containers from craft section at walmart. Big ships..... nada yet beyond the top handled container in my tool boxes I got for travel.

I use ultra pro card protectors. First, each faction gets 2: 1 for pilots sorted first by ship type alphabetically then by initiative, and 1 for faction specific upgrades (again by type and alphabetically). Generic upgrades take up 4: 1 for modification/illicit/system(tech will be added in so well), 1 for talents/force skills, 1 for crew/gunners/astromechs, and 1 for secondary weapons.

To cut back on the cards overflowing from the protection cases, I only keep enough upgrades for 2 players (so 2 of each limited card, a few of cards I hardly use, and more of the popular upgrades for 2 players).

It may look cluttered to some, but it works for me!

Im color coding my sleeves for factions and using clear ones for upgrades so i can see the backs. Debating on whether or not to put the faction specific upgrades in the colored sleeves that match the faction and storing them with them instead of the other upgrades...Will hafta see have with space and spare sleeves.....

I wish you the best of luck on your quest, and if you end up documenting it I would love to continue reading about it.
