Hahn and Bunjee's Stanley vs. Plano Smackdown

[bunjee]

Plano case holds:
1 Master set figs
1 of every normal unique through Wave 4.5 (Raknar's Vision)
2 of every normal common through Wave 4 (only one of the Dzu-Teh)
A DnD Treant and a squad of 3 woodwoads
1 squad of EOV
2 Neraks
All rulebooks through Tundra
Some stats sheets for quick lookups
Complete set of dice, glyphs, order, wound, turn, and power markers (all kept in a smaller plastic container)
All unit and glyph cards.
Deck of cards - for round tracking or whatever else needs tracking.
Random cardboard bits cut from HS boxes.
4 bottles of nail polish (used to paint bases)

Nilfheim can stand up in the top part. I think he is the tallest that stands up in there. I haven't measured the interior of this case, that's probably available from Plano. Mimring can almost stand up, but he gets squished a little.

I keep my containers organized by General (one drawer has Einar and Vydar together) and then sorted in the drawers by squad first in alphabetical order, and then heroes where ever they fit best.
Utgar drawer is stuffed almost full.
Jandar drawer has a decent amount of space.
Ullar drawer has plenty of space.
Vydar/Einar drawer has some space and I can always overflow to Ullar if I need to.

The version of this toolbox that Elstree bought has 3 deeper drawers instead of 4 shallow drawers. It seems much more like Hahnarama's container in depth. Makes it easy to get figs back in, with mine I have to be pretty specific about how the figs go in their sections because many of them are too talk to stand up.

I'll have to take a look at Hahn's case at Gencon.

Hahn, post a detail of what all is in your case, please?

Hanrahama - that StanleyXL case is GONE - I've looked for it everywhere online including Stanley's own site.

Really? I was just at my Depot on Sunday and they had about 15 of them on the shelf. I better run out and get a 2nd because this bad boy is almost full.

Yikes -- I will go down today myself. Thanks bro.

bunjee-

I have the exact Plano box you have. I actually keep Mimring in my original terrain container as he doesn't fit quite perfectly.

Also, I have Jandar in the top compartment, Ullar and Vydar in the next one, Utgar in the thrid one, and the Utgar spillover and Einar in the bottom one.

We had to go a slightly different route for our figures:

http://www.planomolding.com/content/...64&partid=234#

11 of these are pretty full, with our figures (inventory at the bottom), and I think enough space once we complete wave 6 (only one set in hand, another complete set is still being sought, along with a 3rd of the commons). I have two more empty waiting for future waves. The larger figures are stored with our terrain. 6 crates that we picked up from Container Store (can't find a link to them). The crates contain:

1 - large green terrain, cards (in a CD holder), rule books, and dice towers
1 - all other green terrain
1 - brown terrain (with large figures also)
1 - grey terrain
1 - road, ice, flag bearer dice
1 - castles, lava, trees, misc

the crates stack, and are easy to manage for building a map, and picking up when done.

Inventory:

5 - master sets (we don't count the 6th as that belongs to littlerwis and littlestwis)
3 - sets of master set figures
2 - of all uniques including gencon exlusives, except flag bearers
2-6 sets of all commons (through wave 5)
1 set of all wave 6 (waiting on 2nd heros and 2 and 3rd commons)
2 - castles
3 - lava, ice, and 4 road (thank you Markwars for the 4th)
1 - of each flag bearer (haven't a hard time stomaching the extra cash for 2nds of them, but I am sure my OCD will overcome common sense one of these days and I will do as I keep saying I won't)

I think that is it.

[Hahnarama]

Nipple,

When you go to game...do you take all of them with you or just a few with the units you think you might use that night?

Nice! I bought the same one at K-Mart back in November for our Norcal Gameday. See the Norcal picture here:
