I collected all the info I could find on storage boxes and some other related items for collectors.
I'm really hoping someone will copy this to a wiki somewhere as a quick-reference for new users.
The organizer boxes that are
popular in this
thread are
Darice 32-Compartment No-Spill Organizers, also called bead boxes, and you can find them
in the craft section at Walmart. They're about $7 in-store, or you can buy them
online from
Walmart or
Amazon. Each box holds 30 Minis; there are
two spots in the front that won't hold a train because they are smaller but are a good place to cut some of the art off a couple of the checklists and minis bags and
decorate it a bit.
Most people use white labels
with a 10 font, they have adhesive backings with a
small piece of clear tape so they'll stay put. Some people also use labels with a
clear backing.
Another display option is an
acrylic nail polish stand.
There are some gray tracks that fit the minis, seen in
this youtube video but there is no link to buy them. Some people have
3D-printed their own, if you already have a printer they are
not expensive but it is very
time-consuming.
And for the collectors on the go there is an
Android app that was
posted here and of course
my own contribution a
checklist web page at mini.ixbyix.com.
