I'm assuming you're talking about the Flagbearers. They are TRU (Toys 'R Us) exclusives. So try there, eBay, and Google search (you may find an online dealer selling them - AT A HEFTY PROFIT... HEFTIER THAN THE BEATING TRU GAVE US!)

I think he means a official Dice storage box. No there isn't but the Flagbearers that Ninthdoc pointed out come with dice bags.

Or he could have meant dice towers, who knows. :?

No not the flag bearers im talking about the boxes with the holes on top where you drop your dice in and they roll down a slant into the top of the box.


Edit: Dice Towers that's what they are called I'm sorry my mistake.

They don't make official ones. Imax makes good ones (so i've heard) but his are handcrafted and designed by him personally, so they are a bit expensive. PoF and i offer decent plexiglass ones for $15 if you're interested.

I mispoke. They are called Dice Towers. Sorry for the confusion.

I highly recommend them. I own 3. A foamboard one from the early days, one of his "The Machine" ones, and a red travel tower. I know the owner, he's a helluva guy.

I looked at the custom ones and i was like OMFG $175. Thats something I can't afford and the Deluxe are out of my price range as well I'll have to go with the Compact one.

Check for Imax's plans to make them out of foamcore. I made one and it was super cheap. I'm sure they are nothing compared to his wood ones, but they do the job. I highly recommend using a dice tower when playing with kids and others who try to manipulate the roll by kind of dropping it onto the result they want.

Yeah, I know that's expensive. I wasn't even going to sell the custom towers, but people kept asking for them. Heck, for that money, I wouldn't buy one, and I make 'em.

Lex, I'm selling some compacts on eBay right now, and they're only $15 right now. Once my feedback gets to 10 and I can sell BuyItNow, they'll be regular price. So if you can scrape up $22, you can get one there and save some greenbacks. A week or two from now, those will be $19 ($26 with shipping), same as on the VixenTor Games site.

I haven't seen KHA's towers in person, but I have seen pictures, and they're pretty cool. They're clear plastic, with dowels inside...

KHA/PoF, post a picture. It's worth a thousand words. Let Lex decide which one he wants.

And thanks, Doc. Helluva guy back atcha.

Well I was bored earlier so I made my own custom Dice Tower with some stuff from my Magic The Gathering Boxes. Ill post some pictures up here later but basicly its the bottom of the box with the lid set up like a tower then I put a deckbox in there and a cardboard slide so you just drop the dice on the tilted deck box and they slide down on the cardboard and roll.

Very Ghetto but effective none the less and I'm deciding on what I should spend my money on if I get some.

Also are your compact towers made of wood if so i understand their pricing.

I don't own the best clothes.
I don't own the best car.
I don't own the best house.
I don't own the best computer.
But I do own the best dice tower in the whole wide world, thanks to IMax.

Thanks, Rev. That is a pretty darn bitchin' tower (I hope that doesn't come out as asterisks). And yes, Lex, all the towers I make are wood. Glad you were able to make one - even budget dice towers make the game better, don't you think? They just make everything work better. I never play dice games without them any more. Of course, I own like eight towers, so it would seem like a waste if I didn't use them.

Lex welcome to the site!

I do have a suggestion..... you may want to go back and change the title of this tread. That way when people do a seach it will show up or not depending if they are looking for a dice tower or dice box/tray.
