Pokémon TCG: Sword and Shield—Brilliant Stars

Safe storage / transport?

Oh, an update on the Pokemon card tins that I had posted about earlier... Not a good idea, unless you have padding to put in it as well. I had a Feraligatr figure get a broken crest because it fell and... well, I guess the impact with the other figures just snapped it.

It's still a good size for the figures, but if you use a card tin, also get some foam or something to pad it.
 
i bought this http://www.joann.com/joann/catalog.jsp?CATID=&PRODID=xprd377867&source=search Artbin Sew Essentials Tote today while out shopping, and it looks like it will work well for figure storage. you MUST remove the figures from the spinner base for them to fit, though...and the figures will not lie flat, but must be 'tipped' in the compartments to make sure the box lid will close. the case as shown comes with two 'solutions' boxes and has room for a third, which i also purchased today (gotta love those 50% off sales :) ). the plastic cases are available seperately, and are the artbin 'solutions' 5004AB box.

hope this helps.

I've simply saved all my packages, and cut the front off of them. While this doesn't ensure saftey, it'll keep them from damaging each other in the event of an earthquake/cat attack.
 
I haven't gotten around to it, but I am going to go out and buy some foam, similar to in the UltraPro Deck Bags, and cut it to fit a tackle box or tool box or makeup case with tiered "shelves" and then cut spaces for the figures. It's shouldn't be too hard, but I'll let you all know.
 
I looked into a few things. There are some miniatures cases, that have 3" high pluck foam trays that would hold 5-8 of the figures lying down. These were $8.95 for the tray and 3 trays fit in a bag. I didn't like spending that much, so, I didn't investigate more.

I went to Trader Joes and picked up some of their wine bottle cartons with dividers (free). Looks like I could cut those down and have a neat set of 3 trays holding 12 figures each. Any carton that holds slender bottles or glassware (try your local kitchenware store) would do.

In the end tho' I ended up getting for $9 a Sterilite 2023 Paper Holder. It has 3 trays and holds most figures standing on their base, while Lugia, Charizard and the tall ones lie down. Each tray easily holds 24 of the ones that stand up.

I might try to outfit this with some 'slots' for the bases along the walls for the tall ones (kind of like you see for long-stem glassware racks).

If I get it going, I'll send a picture. We used to store them in PKMN tins, by the way, which are a good way to go, esp. the ones with the windows.
 
I think I found the perfect case for these.

I found it at K-mart, its a christmas ornament holder. Its 2 hard plastic cases that stack onto each other and then snap togethor. Its not too large either, like I said perfect for the figures. In size if you took 4x4 figures its almost exactly that big per case and of course a handle on top for easy travel.

Its has cardboard seperaters. (which you can easily assemble or disassemble) and each of the 2 cases hold 16 figures. Its just big enough for the figures, but not so big that they would fall over if tipped.

It was only $9 plus tax.
 
Alot of us here picked up some hard plastic cases (with plastic separators ) at at Craft store
(JoAnns is the name of the store here in Arizona)
They are perfect, you can store up 18-21 figures and it comes with a handle for carrying it around.
