Don't have a cat, although I think my wife is working on getting one for Christmas, but I do have lots of small kids so I just put a lock on the door. We also store Christmas presents in there, always been a good hiding place, now with the lock it's perfect!

ChadB, trying to remember where I got that. Did we meet at a tourney or make a trade on WOTC?


I've never put an ad in an online trade.. although....

We must have met at a tournament, I'm scratching my head as to when I would have brought them to Bellevue though. I know I've traditionally had them at Emerald City Comicon.

I have 2 tackle boxes that I use. The X-1, however, can be hard to fit at times.

Same deal with me, i got small children running around so i got locks on my bags. I keep all of my containers inside suitcases & my cards in a Schoolbag. All my mini's i have in clear tackleboxes too. My cards are all in sleeves, then top loaders & then thrown inside my card box. & the Uc's & C's etc. are put inside sleeves & then put inside a big binder with ultrapro card holders.For my big stuff i just got a big snap lock tupperwear container from K-Mart. It works good. My rancors though, when my kids were younger we got Simalac baby formular that came in this unfold bag, its decent cuz it hooks onto my school bag & unfolds out, it fits them in there perfect.

TK, thats a good set-up you have with the containers, my profession used to be that, i used to build display cases for companies, homes etc. Actually built the display cases for the Tweeter center in Camden NJ for all of there autographed music stuff they have.

And @ Chuck, man thats a ridiculous amount of mini's you have, im guessin anyone wishes they had so many, the options you get when going to a tourney gotta be amazing. Both of you though really impressive.

I have a toolbox. More space than most 30+ dollar tackle boxes, and it only cost 15.

Well, I have a big cardboard box, and in there I have some tackle boxes for my Fringe C/UC, then Jammers card boxes (they are basicaly tackle boxes, but more efficient for minis IMO), for the Rep, Sep, Reb, and Imp figures, then a RotS starter box with carboard strips taped in there as dividers for NR, OR, Vong, Sith, and Mandos. I also have SWCCG Official Tournament Sealed Deck Boxes (about the size of a softball) to hold my rares, and a SWCCG Third Anthology box to hold my cards. My huges are in big paper box, carefully layered with the fragile ones on top. My AT-AT just sits all lonely in its box.

No sweet lighting though. Smile

My sister's cat got into my brother's collection a couple of months ago. Chewed up a poor Yuuzhan Vong Warrior to the point that we wouldn't have known it was an SWM piece were it not for the base. Not a huge loss, of course, but since my brother keeps all his minis in the one box, it could easily have been something like Tsavong Lah or Captain Rex. We'd have been down one cat, in that case. Strangely, ever since he always puts a book or something on top of his box when putting it away...

Back on topic: I store most of my minis in plastic drawers that fit quite neatly under my bed. The ones I plan on playing with find their way into a cardboard box for transport. Not nearly as impressive as Chuck or TK's collections, but my shelves are kinda reserved for my ever-expanding anime collection. Blushing

Ja, like Chuck and Darth Percocet, I have small kids around so everything is in big plastic container's from wallmart, inside those smaller plastic containers, inside that ziplock bags with the mini's in them. Cards in top loader sleeves all in binder's, though I am going to change that to the way Chuck does them. Book's and maps in rucksack's with tile's and everything else.

I've planned on doing it like you do TK-4334, but that will be when the little guy is older. I used to keep them on book shelves so I could look at them but they got all dusty and looked terrible. So now everything stay's packed up. ThumpUp
