[QUOTE="Lalato, post: 3247523, member: 9171"] With over 2000 Minis, I can't possibly display them all (without sleeping on the couch for the rest of my married life). Here's my current storage setup... 1. Separate the minis by faction. I play the skirmish game with them so this makes sense for me. If I used them primarily for RPG, I would probably sort them by creature type. 2. The ones I want to keep go in Stanley 10 Compartment Professional Organizers. [img]http://www.stanleytools.com/catalog_images/mid_res/14410_mid_res.jpg[/img] 3. The ones I want to sell or trade are also separated by faction and placed in Sterilite clear plastic tubs. [img]http://www.sterilite.com/Products/Catalog/1874_LG.jpg[/img] 4. Huges are not separated by faction. Instead they are all stored together in one large plastic tub. [img]http://www.sterilite.com/Products/Catalog/1986_LG.jpg[/img] 5. Minis that I use regularly for skirmish are separated out and placed in one of the Stanley organizers noted above. This has served me well for the most part. However, as my collection gets bigger I've beginning to see some cracks. It is becoming increasingly difficult to find specific minis so it appears that I'm going to have to find some storage scheme with a bit more granularity. I also don't like my Huge storage so finding an alternative for that would be nice. And finally, the minis that I want to sell or trade should be sorted by set instead of faction. So I need a solution for those. My plan right now is to stick with the Stanley organizers. Right now I have 5 of them and they're filled to the brim. They cost about $15 each so in order to stay ahead of the game, I think I need 8 more for now. I'll use a couple of these to store my trade/sell minis instead of the tubs they are in now. Those tubs will be repurposed as Huge storage, by faction. I think that might work for now without too much money spent. --sam [/QUOTE]
