Looking for a cool token box

[ericphillips]

I am looking for a cool token box. A plastic box with little compartments to put my FC and F&E tokens, and separate them by empire and type, so they are easier to take care of. Anyone got any recommendations?

The store Michael's has a good collection of those. Primarily used for separating beads, buttons, etc. I think they have a variety of sizes. I use a box for my FC pieces.

I have one style of Plastic, fishing tackle box for my FC counters/clips/dice/etc and a separarte style for F&E. I got both of them at Wal-mart. I'm at work right now, but when I get home I'll post a photo of each and list the part/model numbers.

There are two FC boxes. One for Alliance stuff and one for Coalition.

Fed & Empire on the other hand is a different matter. I currently have two completely full rubbermaid tubs of counters separated into tackle boxes(but then again, I have about 30,000 counters for F&E). The Feds and Klingons get 4 or 5 tackle boxes each... the other major races get 3 or 4. The Tholians, LDR, Orions, and Generics only get two tackle boxes each.
Each of the individual tackle boxes contain 18 separate bins in a 6 across x 3 up pattern.

Well, I went to Michaels and found some of those plastic containers. Perfect! Lots of choices. I got two of them. They stack great! Thanks for the hint.

Eric: I just got home and got the requested info.
I use Shimano brand storage boxes for both Federation and Empire counters and for my SFB minis.
The Shimano boxes are model 370-24 and were obtained at Wal-mart.
Here is how the F&E counter storage looks:
Lyran counter storage closed and open
Here's how the Klingon fleet looks when ready to travel.

I use World Wide Sports brand and Plano brand storage boxes for Federation Commander and for Star Fleet Battles counter / dice / and tokens. There are 20 SFB counter boxes (one for each empire... including Alpha, Omega, and Magellanic) and four for Federation Commander.
Here are the Federation Commander storage boxes:

Looks like an open and shut case to me...

Man - that comment would get you sent to the agonizer booth in the Klingon Empire.

I believe he was practicing his insults for the assault into Hydran space.

(Say yes, Mike, or it is the agonizer booth for you!)

Didn't realize the Klingon fleet had so many black holes in it

Here's my old travel-bin for FedCom (I've since upgraded to a plastic bin with a lid).


I use the same type of craft boxes that scoutdad does (one type for counters, a different type for minis). When game day comes, I grab the appropriate minis cases and this bin, and off I go.

Will: Is the Crown Royal for celebrating victories... or for forgetting defeats?

Mike: When you assault those low-down, dirty-rot... (you know the rest), Hydrans - let me know. I'll throw in a few Lyrans ships to aide and abet.

I've had that Crown Royal bag since before I could legally buy the actual product.

"Crown Royal - providing gamers with dice-bags (and libation), since 1939"

[Scoutdad]

That was all my father would drink when I was growing up. I've been using the same CR bag for my DND dice since 1979...

That looks awesome. I like the labels over the chit type. I think I might pick up a label maker to do that. thanks.

[Scoutdad]

With Fed and Empire - you almost have to do that. There are so many differnt ship types that you either go for an insane number of individual boxes so each entry on the SIT can have it's own slot - or you combine slots. I combine as few as possible, and then arrange them in descending Offensive Combat Value - but it still helps to have labels indicating which units are where.
