The 4/24 size box fits most Medium-sized or smaller minis (as well as some Large-sized ones).  The 4/15 size box fits most Large-sized or smaller minis.I use these to keep the current PC minis in, as well as some of the minis that I plan for my PC's to encounter in the next few sessions.It takes a bit of time to sort out all your minis, and you will end up with a few monsters that just defy categorization.  However I have found the time spent to be well worth it.Despite having over 1,500 D&D prepainted minis I have found that with my system I can generally find the mini I want in under a minute.  I often grab a mini out of my collection during a session and I am able to do so without telling the players to have a 5-minute break to dig through the collection for it.Olaf the Stout</blockquote>
