Reddit mentions of Plano 137401 By Rack System 3700 Size Tackle Box, Multi, 16" X 12" X 17.25" 6lbs

You might consider a tackle box of some kind.

For example, this one is pretty sizeable (16.5 x 12 x 16 inches ; 6 pounds), and has a ton of compartments.

I don't know how well it would work with large quantities of rings, but it can certainly hold a sizeable variety of rings.

Depending on your collection this fits everything and I have one of every ship minus a few epics.

Im also making the jump to dial covers and am using a dowel rod with a stopper to hold the dials from each faction. Was inspired by a buddy of mines.

Not foam core, but if you clear coat the minis, I don't see how the minimal amount of movement in the tacklebox is gonna cause any problems. This solution holds all released minis and more when some of the slots are doubled up. I considered foam core, but with all the minis it seems to be a large waste of space.

I have this stupid monstrosity (Plano 1374) for my whole collection. One tray per faction, and can fit all my small ships, dials, cardboard ship tokens, plus both YT's, a Decimator and Shuttle, a Hound's Tooth, two Firesprays, and three Jumpmasters in three of the four trays (organized by faction). Maneuver templates, bases and pegs, bombs, and other non-faction stuff goes in the fourth.

Ghost goes in the top bin, of course. Nothing even remotely reasonable holds that business.

If I only need to take one squadron with me, like for a tournament, I can pack it all in a "Stanley Fatmax FMST14820 FatMax Deep Pro Organizer".

Edit: oh, repainted. Yeah, my suggestion has them rattling around a touch in the tournament box. I'm thinking simple bubble wrap bags, combined with generous dullcoat as a last painting step, for once I finish some repaints.

this will last you a long, long time

Right now it looks like everything should fit into the core set boxes.

As for future: the Plano 1374 is so popular that the top reviews on Amazon are all about X-wing.

In a similar vein, I use the 732 which has 3 3700 trays (like the 1374 which has 4), but then 2 3600 trays (which are a little smaller, and I use for tokens and misc stuff).

I also have this version of the plano 5321 for tournaments. They also make a double sided version which I have also used before realizing it's a bit much (because I already had the 732). I still pack it for weekend vacations or hangar bay tournaments when I want to carry multiple lists, but not all my stuff.

I personally like the Plano 1374

Avoid Battlefoam. They're overpriced and the owner is a dick.

Check out KR Multicase. They're affordable, customizable, make X-Wing trays, and have both EU and NA friendly shipping.

Alternately, the Plano 1374 is a popular option, with a vast amount of space for not a lot of cash.

I bought http://www.amazon.com/Plano-1374-4-By-System-Tackle/dp/B000E3FKTO but it didn't help much with the map tiles. My first play session I was very frustrated at how long it took me to build the map with the map tiles just thrown in the box.

My solution was to organize the map tiles in numerical order and put them in groups of 10 in ziploc bags. That way when I'm building the maps, I can just follow the number guide at the bottom and pull out the pieces in order then build.

For storage I highly recommend this Plano case. I then have a roll of packing foam to help further protect my ships. I also use some of the leftover plastic packaging that the X-Wing models cam in as dividers to hold things like templates and such. That box will hold a massive amount of ships and everything else that goes with the game, for a long time I even kept my Armada collection in the same box. I also use a separate card storage box, but that's only really necessary if you have a very large collection.

For accessories a set of acrylic movement templates are very nice to have, but are hardly necessary as the cardboard ones hold up pretty well for a while. I've gotten two sets from Curled Paw Creatives and highly recommend them!

Amazon here! Best part is it comes with x4 Plano 3700 + dividers at a very reasonable price.

apologies for the shitty-length link, but this tackle-box works rather perfectly to hold most of a current collection. I highly recomend it.

It will of course, not hold the Raider, Tantive, etc, but any of the large ships fit just fine

If you plan to collect most/every ship from all 3 factions and multiples of each, one of the more popular choices is Plano 1374. Its versatile, you'll grow into it, and fairly inexpensive for what it offers.
I just recently retired one and now that I'm at 111 standard play ships (+ the 5 epics in their own case), I'm using this https://imgur.com/a/lNyjw

The Plano 1364 trays are not deep enough to fit the ships on bases even if you lay them down, but the Plano 1374 tackle box most definitely is capable of doing that for almost all of the small ships.

It's the one I use. Plano 1374

I use Plano 3700 and 3600 series plastic trays and line the bottoms that i put models in with cotton. (3700's are for permanent storage and, 3600 is for transporting what im playing that day). I should take new shots of the 3700 lol. Ones i have are from way back in 1st ed).

I've also seen people use Stanley tool storage containers (this photo, they use the plastic molds from the package, cut them down to fit to keep them from moving).

The safest (and most expensive) would probably be custom cut foam trays from battle foam.

Plano 1374 4-By Rack System 3700 Size Tackle Box for carrying around most of my stuff - teams, maps, rules, tokens, components, etc...

For my extra, bulk minis I put them in gallon sized ziplock bags, roll them up, and store them in your basic clear, plastic storage container.

It looks like the same as mine which is this one
https://www.amazon.com/Plano-1374-Rack-System-Tackle/dp/B000E3FKTO

I have this Plano case from Amazon and it still has room up top for a few more ships - it has at least one of every ship inside the four trays, which are behind that door on the front.

I use the top compartment for two short card boxes and to store my Tactical Cube, templates, Fina Prime (she's a big one) and Resources.

The only issue is the current price of $45 - I got it about 8 months ago when it was $35, so I'd add it to your cart and keep an eye on the price if you're interested.

EDIT: I also keep my dice and extra shield/disable tokens in the compartment up top near the handle, which comes in handy when I need to grab some during a game.

Plano tackle boxes. Awesome! http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B000E3FKTO?cache=5fa8badd792a1d6e0f98f8812ed1557a&pi=SX200_QL40&qid=1404703738&sr=1-2#ref=mp_s_a_1_2

Storage - This is also useful for transporting bits boxes or models and the top is great for tanks or modelling supplies. I would suggest going to your local outdoor shop and buying there so you can get the size you want. I ordered from Amazon without thinking to check the size and now I have an adorable little tackle box. It's great for bits, but not so excellent for army transportation.

Brushes -
I generally use the smallest I can find of the filbert, spotter, and angle shader. I also have a deer foot, but that was because the lady at the art shop was too good at her job.

GW Paints - The new line is pretty excellent as a new painter. I haven't dealt with Vallejo but I know my LGS sells them and a couple people use them. I hear they're much better with airbrush.

Plastic Cement

And whatever superglue you like.

And of course you'll need sprue clippers, an exacto, a toothbrush, and files, but it doesn't really matter which of those you get.

I have a Plano 3700 4by rack

I use 1 tray for rebel, 1 for imperial, 1 for scum, and the 4th for the dice, asteroids, damage deck, movement templates, range ruler, etc. and there's enough room to bring the ships for 1 list. Then I just load it up with the list I want to fly and I can just take the 1 tray with me.

http://www.amazon.com/Plano-1374-4-By-System-Tackle/dp/B000E3FKTO

This will more than fit your collection. You can fit both large ships ( tantive and transport) up top and a full fleet in each tray.

One more thing is to get a good storage system with room to grow. Yes you can find some cheap containers to hold a few ships and tokens, but once your collection grows you'll be lugging around 5 or 6 containers.

Plano tackle boxes aren't too expensive and hold everything with room for more. I started out big with the 1374 and still have room after getting all the ships with duplicates.

EDIT: Maybe wait for it to go on sale or shop around. It was only $32 on Amazon when I ordered mine a few months ago.

I know you said no tackle boxes, but with a collection that size I don't think you'll be able to find anything that can accommodate all of it at once. If I were you I'd get a big Plano case with multiple racks for each faction and arrange the individual rack cases with some of each ship so that you don't have to take everything all the time. You could have a case of tokens in each stack so that everything is playable if you just take the Imperial case to play or whatnot. You just have too much!

I use one of these at the moment, maybe getting 2 or 3 of them would work out for you?

Impossible. But you have quite a bit.

I've been using these Plano containers

They sell the single trays individually, too, but I like to get the whole box and store repair / cleaning tools or extremely large accessories in the top compartment.

The mods stay on the desk, I never know which one I feel like grabbing that day. The juice stays in one of these lock boxes in the closet. I usually have a few juices scattered about my desk and in my desk drawer as well. I've been thinking about a tackle box like this though, I have far too much crap as the photos are only what I have in circulation, I have 3 of the master boxes.

Plano tackle boxes and the associated trays are pretty much the de-facto standard. Some people spring for foam, but almost everyone I know uses a plano tackle box.

I have this box: https://www.amazon.com/Plano-1374-Rack-System-Tackle/dp/B000E3FKTO/ref=sr_1_1?s=sporting-goods&ie=UTF8&qid=1473565059&sr=1-1&keywords=plano+1374

Beware: there's a very similar box that's like half the price, but it's also half the size. It doesn't work for X-Wing.

If that's overkill, get a couple of the trays that fit inside of it. There are assorted 3700-series trays with slots of difference sizes. You can see these in person at any outdoor store if you want to check sizes.

I have a larger version of the one you're looking at. I love it. I use it to store my electronics and quadcopter stuff. It is not too big at all, and you will absolutely grow into it as things progress. I used to have lots of empty space but now it's basically totally filled with awesome electronics goodness!

I put the smaller models in the trays and the bigger ones up top separated by terrain and my dice bag

I have 2 of these plus a 5 drawer plastic organizer for models I’m not taking anywhere. Not that I’ve played since 2nd edition but...just in case...

I use the Plan 1374 - http://smile.amazon.com/Plano-1374-Rack-System-Tackle/dp/B000E3FKTO?ie=UTF8&psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=ox_sc_sfl_title_12&smid=A2I4D0WO1JEMBA

Fishing tackle box.

Sounds kinda odd at first, but they typically have different sized compartments which is great for the big and small stuff. I can keep all my switches, transistors, and tools all in one location.
