Reddit reviews Plano 23620-01 Stowaway with Adjustable Dividers

I strongly reccomend:

1. for the maps: an Expanding File Folder
   
2. for all the pieces: a couple storage boxes I found 2 of these at goodwill for a couple bucks, but they're $3.19 at amazon, so hardly breaking the bank either.
   
3. Gloomhaven Helper <--- this will save you so much time in setup, it replaces all of the monster decks with 1 simple tool, for web/pc/android

Came with the tabs in a sheet and had to cut the tabs off. Each of the smaller compartments have 7 dice in each.

So I specifically got new toys so they would be new and novel for the flight. New books, especially touch & feels books which my daughter loves, plus a couple all-time favorite books. For snacks, i found online the best idea that worked wonders - use a flat fishing tackle box - the kind that you can add dividers to ( https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000E3C3NU/ref=ppx_od_dt_b_asin_title_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 ). Fill with all sorts of snacks, new and old favorites, and its the toddler sampler platter. Worked great and fit easily in my backpack. I just new if I packed a couple of her fave snacks, that would be the day she decided she didn't want them.

We also made sure to arrive at the airport early and left hubby with our stuff at the gate and her and I basically did laps up and down the terminal to burn as much energy as possible. And if you are flying an airline with first come first serve seating (like Southwest) try to sit by a family with a child of similar age. We sat directing in front of a family with a little girl about the same age as ours and after they both woke up from their naps, they entertained each other playing peek a boo around the seats.

Plano boxes are wonderful. I currently have 31 smaller locks in one of these (mortise + KIK cylinders and smaller padlocks), and 33 larger locks in one of these (full-size padlocks and cam locks). The storage density is very high, and the boxes have held up quite well and are cheap to replace if they break. I have another deep plano box that holds most of my tools and equipment, and one drawer to hold overflow/oversize items.

As for labeling locks, I generally only label things that are part of a series. For instance, I have seven American Lock 5200s that I use for practice, and each one has a small piece of masking tape on the top of the lock with a number written on it. The associated keys are all on a ring, and each one has a piece of tape on the bow with the matching number. During practice I won't look at the number, so I don't know which lock I'm working on if I grab it at random.

For special locks (borrowed, challenge locks, etc.) I'll use metal-rim paper tags to note important information, but I currently have very few locks that meet this criteria and don't use them often.

I use a Plano 3620 box for Castles of Burgundy which works really nicely. I have the mixed tiles in their own compartments and draw from them randomly without looking at what I'm drawing. It's faster & less fiddly than having a bunch of bags.

Here's a photo. I think since this was taken I spread things out even more to fill all the compartments, so there's more space to mix things up and get your fingers in.

This is my setup. Setup/Teardown of each play session isn't troublesome anymore.

-2 Counter Trays. I can store most of the enemy standees and some of the random tokens like treasure chests and traps.

-Plano 23620-01. This is where I store all of the tokens like XP, Damage, Conditions, etc. This is also where the rest of the big enemy standees go (except the huge dragon). I can also fit random tokens like Doors, Bookshelves/Coffins, etc.

-Smead Expanding File. This is where I organize all the tile/map pieces. Everything fits comfortably except the "T" pieces.

-Avery Binder and BCW Pocket Pages. This binder acts like the Item Shop and can easily be opened to show available items. I even covered locked items with construction paper to be "unlocked" when Prosperity reaches a certain level.

-Ultra Pro Deck Boxes. I store everyone's Class cards here. The bottom compartment holds the Class/HP/XP tokens, Items purchased, and Attack Modifier Deck.

-Construction Paper. As a solution to organize/retrieve the needed enemy Stats Cards and Enemy Ability Decks, I created a sleeve out of construction paper for the Stat Card, leaving enough room to fit the respective Ability Deck as well. I sleeve most of the cards, so I put all 8 ability cards into a "City/Event sleeve", then throw it into the Stat Card sleeve I just made. Hope that made sense.

It's weird, I've found their bigger brother to be a bit more uncomfortable grabbing bits out of:

For some inexplicable reason the 6X2s didn't feel as bad when fishing bits out. Pun intended.......

I use an insert that goes into a tackle box. Walmart carries them in the fishing section and they’re pretty cheap.

I use this for small parts and I bought 3 towers like that to sort all the rest

Edit: formatting

I put mine in those boxes people use for tackle. The brand is called Plano. You can find them all over the place.

https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B000E3C3NU

I use a variety of tackle boxes from Plano. They have adjustable dividers but I find the 23620 sized ones to be perfect sized for nendoroid faces. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000E3C3NU?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o08_s00

My walmart also sells a larger sized one with a row of large bays and 2 rows of smaller bays I find useful when figures have really large parts that don't fit. The large boxes are like less than 4 dollars at walmart in the fishing section.

Here you go: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000E3C3NU?pf_rd_p=76bd99fd-409f-46a4-9ff6-b66b5703e95b&pf_rd_r=TPHG1E34M91JQ2QM67WA

It was on sale when I bought it but looks like the price went back up.

I carry a backpack: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0085W0QJA/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03__o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I can easily fit 4 of these plano boxes in it: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000E3C3NU/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03__o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I have posted pictures of my setup recently if you want to look at my history. I'll never deny I carry way too much stuff with me, but if I can carry it without a problem then why not is how I look at it lol.

For eldritch I recommend [this plano box] (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000E3C3NU/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1) for housing everything but the cards. After that, you can make a foam core card tray with dividers. It makes the game much faster to set up, with a lot less clutter.

This could be it: http://www.amazon.com/Plano-23620-01-Stowaway-Adjustable-Dividers/dp/B000E3C3NU/ref=pd_sim_sg_3

This is similar to what I use for my miniatures

I have two that I use most of the time. I have a lot of the injected plastic D&D minis from WotC, so they are durable enough to just toss in there.

These work pretty well: https://www.amazon.com/Plano-23620-01-Stowaway-Adjustable-Dividers/dp/B000E3C3NU/ref=sr_1_9?ie=UTF8&qid=1511234599&sr=8-9&keywords=plano&th=1&psc=1

On sale for $5 each!

3 Plano boxes works pretty well and is a lot cheaper than a good insert.

After seeing the other post with storage boxes I checked Amazon and I believe I found the same container. It's the Plano Tackle Box and I ordered one for myself already. Looks like a good deal to me.

Here’s one.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B000E3C3NU?psc=1&ref=yo_pop_mb_pd

Also we use a bunch of these. Evenutally you'll memorize where every piece is and you wont have to waste time digging for pieces. Plus pieces don't get scratched up as much.

Get a tackle box (or 2) like this, so it's easier to store the small, unassembled pieces during sessions.

Here's a plug for my storage solution: https://boardgamegeek.com/article/19716714#19716714

It has storage for ship parts, game bits, and player pieces, along with links to the items I purchased.

tl;dr - if you want to just fit the ship parts and game bits from the base game into a single box, check out the Plano 3620

I've been using these Plano containers

They sell the single trays individually, too, but I like to get the whole box and store repair / cleaning tools or extremely large accessories in the top compartment.

I'm having trouble finding either, I think. They may just be mislabled.

Is this 3750? https://smile.amazon.com/Creative-2-3750-77-Pro-Latch-Adjustable-Compartments/dp/B00C9MSRAM/

Is this 3600? https://smile.amazon.com/Plano-23620-01-Stowaway-Adjustable-Dividers/dp/B000E3C3NU/

I just started beading and am focusing on Pokemon, so here's a long winded write up. Like a lot of other people here, I started with presorted packs like this one, which have about about 250 of each color in them. Amazon has three packs like that and I bought one of each to get a big variety of sorted colors. This does not give you enough of each color to sustain you for that long, but they are a good starting point and you'll quickly get the feel for what colors you need the most. You'll want 1000 bead packs of any color you're going to use more than a tiny bit of. The 250 in those sorted packs won't last long.

For Pokemon, I've found the most important colors to keep a big stock of are Black, Dark Grey, Grey, and White. Black is used to outline all of them, the Dark Grey is used for a lot of the details within the sprite, and a lot of Pokemon have White bits which the Grey shades well. There's a lot of Pokemon so I'm using a very big variety of colors beyond those. Their sprites are always shaded, too, so you really need a mix of lighter and darker colors. If you're using Light Blue on a Pokemon's body, you'll probably need Dark Blue to shade it, and so on.

I bought a lot on Amazon at first too, but now that I'm getting more into it I've placed a couple big orders to Bakers'KidsCraftsBooks&More on Ebay. It's a little cheaper for 1000 bead packs than Amazon if you're ordering several, and they carry Hama and Nabbi too. This chart is really helpful for figuring out what Hama and Nabbi colors are sufficiently unique from Perler to make them worth purchasing. The downside is that it's a little slower than Amazon, since you have to wait for a combined invoice before you can pay and get them shipped, but it's the cheapest way I've found to get 1000 bead packs of all bead brands.

The square interlocking 29x29 peg boards that other people have mentioned are big enough to fit most Pokemon and smaller sprites on, and you can always link them up for more room. They come with ironing paper and you can also use parchment paper.

I bought these tweezers too. I don't think they're necessary, but they're easier to use than regular tweezers if I have to remove beads that have already been placed. I usually just use my fingers when initially placing beads.

I like these tackle boxes for storage. They have adjustable compartment sizes, so you can make big compartments to dump your 1000 bead packs into. They close very securely and the compartments are flush with the lid, so beads don't mix if you turn it upside down. The only downside is I have seven of them and already have almost filled them up, haha.

Quick edit: All the Pokemon I've made have been based on the small sprites you see in the party, so that's what my color suggestions are geared to.

This box is 11in wide and you can just use the center slots to make 5' sides.
