This seems to be an inexpensive and popular choice. It's what I we with when starting a collection.

I use a Plano 5231 for my tournament box.

2 Level Plano container has plenty of compartments up top for tokens, asteroids, damage decks galore. As well as flat ships like X-Wings etc, bottom level deep enough to hold YTs and Decimators with ease, as well as pilot cards, loadouts, and taller ships, like Ties and B-Wings

This Plano box for storing my extra ships and components. I have 4.

This Plano tacklebox for storing and transporting the lists that I'm currently playing. You can definitely fit all that. I also recommend getting some bubble wrap. They sell it in large rolls at hobby stores like Hobby Lobby. I bought a roll for like $5 a couple years ago and I still haven't used it all. It makes for good padding.

You do have a problem...

It doesn't appear you have a case for them ;D

(I use these http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000HJ9514?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00 but you have bigger ships than I)

I use these for Lego, would work well for AR parts.

This case made by Plano is outstanding for holding everything Carcassonne. The compartments on top hold all of the tokens and them some with each being able to have their own separate compartments, and the inside compartments hold all of your tiles plus room for labeling and plenty of room for extra stuff as well. A few pieces of paper like your collections rules can also fit inside as well.

Save for the epic ships, I essentially have a very similar number/distribution of ships as you. I use the Plano 5231. One for the rebels and one for the empire. It does a good job of holding all the small ship, cards, and maneuver dials in the bottom. And the top works well for all the small focus/evades/TLs and such on the top. The only problem I have with it is the storage of the larger ships. I can only seem to fit one YT-1300 in for the rebels, and one firespray plus lambda for the empire. Over all for the price I am happy with them, and there is still room for small ships. I just need to figure out something for larger ships

Until your collection grows, one or two of these will serve you well. I use two currently and strap them together using suitcase straps.

Sorry, that made me laugh. Not piano! P-L-A-N-O :)

Plano is a brand name. Here's an example from Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Plano-Molding-5231-Organizer-Porsche/dp/B000HJ9514/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1466449633&sr=8-3&keywords=plano

Although the way Fantasy Flight is pumping out expansions for Eldritch Horror these days, a piano box might eventually be necessary!

The Plano 5231 is very popular. Here you can see it in use. Note: I've added 2 Z-95's, 1 Phantom and 1 Defender and it all still fits.

I use a tackle box with Willli's Micro hangers:
http://www.sirwillibald.com/

These Plano boxes are very common (and on clearance): https://amzn.com/B000HJ9514

I use single-sided Plano Stow-n-Go Organizers to store all my electronics parts.

Try the Plano 5231. Amazon just had them on sale for $6.99, but I'm not sure if that's still active.

Edit: Just checked. They're now $9.99 on Prime.

Consider this as it's a little smaller and should hold ~10 ships.

Nice one mate. They should have those Plano's on Amazon for $25. Just picked up 2 clearance at Kmart for $7.50 though, so try your local one if you have one.


Also, nice stuff.

The one I'm thinking of was much bigger as he had done away with the box completely. More like THIS. Some of the pics in the product link are gaming related...

When you run out of room, upgrade to the Plano 5231. Perfect case for this game.

Edit: Here's a link to a post with the 5231

And the case itself
http://www.amazon.com/Plano-Molding-5231-Double-Organizer/dp/B000HJ9514/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1368050052&sr=8-1&keywords=plano+5231

Yep, got it from Amazon. It's $10

http://www.amazon.com/Plano-Molding-5231-Organizer-Porsche/dp/B000HJ9514

The Plano 5231 is where I would start. I have several that I keep mine in (my collection is rather large). The top section will accommodate all the ship tokens, the gameplay tokens and templates & obstacles. The inside will easily fit all that you have along with the dials and damage deck with plenty of room to spare. I am storing complete conversion kit cardboard and a majority of the small ships in the boxes. Adding a bunch of large ships to the collection may present an issue eventually, but you can fit a YT-1300 + another large ship without issues. The Ghost does not fit in the box unfortunately.


Edit: The prices on Amazon for the red plano are not great right now though.



The HDX interlocking series is pretty great, too. The containers lock together making it easy to add to the collection as needed and they are easy to carry. These can accommodate the bigger ships like the Ghost, too. maybe go with this. The price is good, too.

​

I am using this one: http://www.amazon.com/Plano-Molding-5231-Organizer-Porsche/dp/B000HJ9514/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1413351375&sr=8-1&keywords=Xwing+case

It holds quite a bit. The top section has all the tokens and the bottom has a millennium falcon and a slave one, plus about 20 models. I could probably organize it to fit more though. I really like the all-in-one aspect. A solid choice I think. :)

When I was bringing more then a couple lists:
Plano Molding 5231 Double Cover Stow N Go Organizer, Porsche Red https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000HJ9514/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_fBAKBb1S7HQ29

Nowadays I try to bring only one or two (oaky I can cram like 4 or 5 by stacking) and I use a Feldherr MINI PLUS Case for X-Wing Scum and Villainy, Star Ships and Slave 1 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00VK4ZZD2/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_OCAKBb16YEDT2

They were on sale for $18 a while back, my guess is they'll have new bags and foam out soon for 2e.

Got a plano 5231. It's nice for all of the tokens and whatnot. Can also fit a larger ship or two if you wanted.

It's this thing.

http://www.amazon.com/Plano-Molding-5231-Double-Organizer/dp/B000HJ9514/ref=sr_1_1?s=hi&ie=UTF8&qid=1406088407&sr=1-1
works like a charm!!

You can buy fancy cases, but simple screw/art/tackle boxes are fine too. I've seen people pay hundreds for fancy bags and foam trays, when really, if something broke, it'd be waaay cheaper to just replace it. I have a big multi-section box for all my stuff, and a Star Wars lunchbox I use on the go, but different storage solutions work for different people!

We have been using this. Characters fit on top, vehicles fit in bottom.

Not sure how much will fit once the wave of xmas gifts come in, but it's working for the couple things we have now with plenty of room to spare.

I like this one for portable needs not storage.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000HJ9514/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

it has two separate cases you can fit all your dice and tokens in the upper level. The second level has enough room for the large ships and lots of small slots for many small ships. I have not tried the Decimator in it yet so not sure about that.

Lol, yah I'm on my third box also.

Let me guess, was this box #2?

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000HJ9514/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

This is working pretty well for me right now.

It's a 5231 Double Cover Stow N Go Organizer, Porche Red -- Amazon link: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000HJ9514

I notched the dividers with a hole saw to allow quick access to tile sets, otherwise they were about as tall as the tiles and made it difficult to get them out. I also ended up buying an extra case as I was one divider short to properly organize the expansions I've got.

I've seen people use all sorts of things for playmats. From black felt with white paint splashed lightly to represent stars to vinyl banners with Hubble images printed on them to elaborate Death Star terrain. Anything you think looks good in your budget will work. I think the size for tournament play is 3x3.

As for storage I love this plano box.

It fits my two cores (with cards and templates) plus all the wave one ships. There is also room to grow.

Any specific Plano model work well? I used Plano 5231 for X-Wing and that has been fantastic.

I use this

https://www.amazon.com/Plano-Molding-5231-Organizer-Porsche/dp/B000HJ9514

And multiple of these

https://www.homedepot.ca/en/home/p.2-pack-interlocking-organizer.1000817742.html

Works really well and very cheap. Just got the plano and its perfect for holding all tokens in the top.

I found this bag on sale and it ROCKS. Drops to @ 30USD or less if you watch it. https://www.walmart.com/ip/Okeechobee-Fats-Okeechobee-Fats-Large-Tackle-Bag-Green/51272020

I have 4 Plano boxes (https://www.amazon.com/Plano-Connectable-Satchel-Stowaway-Handle/dp/B0007RF4DE), a box with all small cards, tokens, and a Ghost (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000HJ9514/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1), and a small chit box ALL in the inner pocket, all my lists/papers/HoTAC stuff in the big outer pocket, all my pilot cards in ziplocs on the end pockets, and more. It's a battle beast. Pics later if you want...

Well i just got into this game just have one starter and just placed an order for a gravity feed. I'm just planning to use this plano lockjaw organizer. It worked great for when ran a Junior High D&D club, so planning on storing my dice, rule books and dice bags. And for the cards I'll use Deck box for my teams and then store any extras in BCW boxes from my baseball collecting days. It's a bit much for what i have know but it's what i have on hand don't want to spend money on storage rather save that money for when the DC Worlds Finest set is released.

Do you mean this plano? https://www.amazon.com/Plano-Molding-5231-Organizer-Porsche/dp/B000HJ9514/ref=pd_rhf_schuc_p_img_6?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=DJD54KJNEYTR97QFSJS9

This is the case you want.

You should be good with Jumpmaster and Starfighters for now. Check out this video for an idea:

https://youtu.be/ZKs1m80Qnas

Pick up most wanted for slave 1 pilots and upgrade cards

Pick up starviper for upgrade cards (also a fun ship!)

The good 'ol trusty Plano 5231 is $10 at Lowe's/Menard's/Amazon/K-Mart. I also have 3 of the double version (basically two of them plastered together) for each faction and it fits a good majority of my ships and I've been playing since Wave 1.

You can tell this is the correct one because under the "also purchased" is x-wing stuff.

https://www.amazon.com/Plano-Molding-5231-Organizer-Porsche/dp/B000HJ9514/ref=sr_1_6?s=hi&ie=UTF8&qid=1537967313&sr=1-6&keywords=plano

I'm mostly a one of each ship person (minus the swarm ships, like i have 8 tie's and 8 Z-95's) and have one of these for each faction. They hold plenty of small based ships and can handle some of the smaller large based ships. Other than not having enough storage for the large ships I have no issues with it.

It's a little large to bring everything to game days, but it was cheap and customizable and works great.

As others have mentioned the Plano makes several great cases that work great for X-wing

Here's what it looks like with ships/dials/bases/tokens inside of it. I caulked the bottom of the trays since they didn't sit flush I can fit almost all of my Rebel fleet inside of it. The only thing I can't fit is a YT-2400, though I took out the Ghost I could fit several more easily. I picked mine up at Harbor Freight on sale for $9

I only have about 30 or so ships, but I use two Plano 5231 cases. One for IMPs one for Rebels, and scum intermittently. I also have a plastic keter toolbox for the large ships.

Lots of people like Plano's stuff. Without getting something custom (read: expensive) you could try one of Plano's bigger chests, like the 732 tackle box.

It's not for everyone but I use these guys to organize screws. I have a few boxes worth of common screws in the lower portion and a bunch of small screws, nuts and bolts in the top compartment. The biggest thing is to sort through the inevitable bin of parts and fasteners when you're done with your project and try to keep the catch all containers to a minimum.

I've been looking at these tackle boxes http://www.amazon.com/Plano-Molding-1354-StowAways-Sandstone/dp/B000OES590/ref=sr_1_1?s=hi&ie=UTF8&qid=1398399845&sr=1-1&keywords=Plano+Molding+1354 and http://www.amazon.com/Plano-Molding-5231-Double-Organizer/dp/B000HJ9514/ref=sr_1_1?s=hi&ie=UTF8&qid=1398399879&sr=1-1&keywords=Plano+Molding+5231

Neither are quite as travel friendly as I would like. They're fine if you're driving, but a bit annoying to lug around on a bus or subway.

That 3.99 box I bought won't fit the cards without modification and there will be some dice mismatch in compartments. I have a deckbox for the cards, anyway.

http://www.amazon.com/Plano-Molding-5231-Double-Organizer/dp/B000HJ9514/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&qid=1398397905&sr=8-8&keywords=plano+box

But certainly the red Plano box would fit a large collection. It's overkill in my opinion.

I use a Plano for all my stuff, I think it's this model:
https://www.amazon.com/Plano-Molding-5231-Organizer-Porsche/dp/B000HJ9514/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1469025237&sr=8-1&keywords=plano+5231

In the top compartment I keep all my tokens, dice, pegs, and templates - stuff like that. You can put some small ships in here too, I just don't yet. There are a couple of slightly bigger compartments in the top section that hold my asteroids and damage deck.

In the bottom compartment is all my ships and I put my rulebook in there too. I've still got a good amount of empty space but once it starts filling up I'll migrate a few of the smaller ships into empty spaces on top. Overall it should hold quite a lot of small based ships. The one place it's weak is that there isn't much storage for big ships/bases unless you start cutting the dividers. And the cards share the divider space too. Eventually I'm thinking of migrating them to a thin binder with pocket pages but it's not necessary yet.

There are bigger stow n go models too.

I want to know how this is fair:

same product, Amazon.ca

$43 vs $10

edit: Just did a test, purchasing it through the US Amazon.com and shipping to Canada would be a final cost of $17.77. Not bad really.
