Yes, we're Gamers, and we like our games! Preferably in mint, pristine, flawless condition. And well-organized, so as to aid in set-up and tear-down. It's not OCD. It's not. It's called fastidious care. We should all take care of our things. Immaculately.
[Excuse me while I go wash my hands again.]
Ahem....I'm creating this thread to serve the purpose of gathering all of our storage solutions in one place, in the hope that we can build off of one another's creativity and share the best storage solutions that we can collectively develop. I encourage everyone to take pics and post them here. It would also be helpful if we could try to post the model numbers where possible...I'm thinking of you , Mr. Plano storage box!
So, without further ado, I came up with this rather simple good-enough-for-now solution for the minis and tokens: All it takes is a simple Plano 3600 box (the larger one, for the minis) and a Plano 3500 box (the smaller one, for the tokens), which I happened to have lying around the house.

I don't think this solution will be good for storing the minis if you paint them--in which case you'll probably want a Feldherr foam case or something--but I'm happy with it for the time being. Regardless, I'm quite happy with the 3500 box, since it's just about perfect for the tokens.
I haven't bothered with the cards yet since I don't have enough of the small sleeves (yes, the small FFG ones used in X-Wing and Imperial Assault and everything else, are the right fit). Assuming the numbers in the Learn to Play guide are correct, we need 337 sleeves in total. Plus 6 other sleeves for the heroes...and those hero cards are an odd shape: they're significantly wider than standard MtG cards and quite a bit longer too.
Anyway, I hope this is helpful to other Gamers who like to take good care of their stuff.
