I bought most of the first 4 sets years ago, and have just started getting back into the hobby. I am trying to collect one of every model from all 16 sets (800 models). Right now I am trying to organize them into their respectful sets and use the check lists to see which ones I have and which ones I'm missing. Once I collect every figure I want to get a carrying case for each faction and organize them that way, there are 10 factions in total so I will need a good amount of cases. I currently have 2 good cases but they are not made anymore and I am looking to see what other players use to carry their figures around in.

I use a set of these for my stuff:



One cart is for rares, the other for C/UCs

I go from top to bottom:

Old Republic/Republic
Rebel/New Republic
Sith/Separatist/Mandalorian
Imperial/Vong
Fringe

The last drawer in one cart is my supplies (Dice/Maps/Laser pointer/Extra rule books/Cards not kept in binders) and in the other is my most commonly used Fringe C/UCs.
I also have another 3 drawer cart with large drawers for my huges and Djerrik minis, but there's little order there.

Currently, online through various sites like Amazon. They're a bit expensive right now though as they aren't in season because the carts are designed for the storage of Christmas ornaments.

That's neat, but how do you transport your minis? (I'm also looking for a way of storage.)

Lowes has some nice hardware storage drawers that I have taken to using lately. And to carry them around I use Tackleboxes but I tend to only carry a squad or 2 with me at once.

I keep my entire collection of 963 in 2 tackle boxes similar to the plano storage box posted above. One is quite large and one is medium size. Huges and larges go in the upper compartments. I find these work really well for keeping it all organized and accessible.

Maps, cards and other supplies I keep separately.

I use a former tool case that is some kind of shiny metal. It looks pretty sweet and it fits my modest collection of around 200-250 minis with maps and all. It works nicely and is incredibly sturdy but it can get a little heavy. it has plenty of dividers and sections and fits several small tackle boxes in it. I would have no idea where you could get one but it looks something like this but slightly bigger: http://www.startstop.com/cc-pro.html It also locks for extra security.
