Mini Storage- How do you do it?

[BigFreekinGoblinoid]

I keep seeing the Army Transport at my FLGS and being tempted by it. Has anyone used this product and knows how good it is?

The absolute best. I have 4 now! Completely customizable. Just a dream to use.

Here is what I use for my plastic mini's & counters. ( See pictures ) I bought this at ACE hardware ( $12 ), but I have seen them at Fry's too.

I have over 1000 counters and 200 plastic D&D mini's in here. I think I'm gonna buy another one.


Size approx: 10"x14"x4", with a carrying handle! Double case pictures...

I have four twenty-four compartments plastic tackle-thingies that came inside some carrying bag my mother bought for herself. She had no use for them, and asked me if I wanted them for my fishing stuff, so I grabbed them up when I saw them, and plugged my plastic boys into it.

Well...my D&D mini's are stored in a starter kit box, fashionably held together with duct tape. My heroclix are in a booster pack box, no duct tape. Not too many of them. The warhammer figures are stored in a myriad of boxes. For a while I had some battlefleet gothic ships (with their rather fragile stands) stored in a plastic, lidded bin filled with packing peanuts. I don't have an excessive amount of any figures, so I make do with whatever.

I just use a Games Workshop miniatures case. 50 bucks, and it works great. Needed to stuff some bubble wrap in the bottom so the minis wouldn't float around the case when it's being handled though.

FWIW FRP Games carries most of the "gaming" specific compartmentalized boxes. The link shows most of them together if you want to compare...

I have a bunch of boxes, and a tacklebox that I take to sessions.

I place in the Tacklebox the miniatures I plan to use in the session.

The other boxes (Entry packs, Carcassone expansion boxes, etc.) are set up as follows:

* Evil Humanoids
* Good Humanoids
* PC types (this is a box with one of each of the humanoids - the rest go into the Good Humanoids box; it allows the players to easily select a unique miniature for their PC
* Aberrations
* Undead
* Outsiders and Elementals
* Animals and Magical Beasts

Cheers!

Considering I just purged most of my minis via eBay, I'm left with a Games Workshop case (thank you gift certificates and the original $40 price ), and two Chessex cases. The remaining un-painted/un-primed minis are just thrown in a shoe box next to the cases.

The GW cases are not set up for the old Grenadier/RP figs (old-school 25mm). They will go flying around in the case. GW/later RP/Reaper figs fit well.

In 15 years of collecting/painting minis, I've never had the foam from a GW or Chessex case scratch the minis. Are you guys sealing your minis after you paint them?

After I hit the lottery, I'd love to get a set of barrister bookcases to display the figs. A China cabinet for minis is just a hair too tacky for me.

right now the $2,000 - $3,000 worth of painted/unpainted mini's of mine are taking up 9 shelves of an entertainment center that I use to showcase them
so that they are readily accessable for my game.
