WTB: Plano Boxes, Pill Boxes, Tool Boxes for Game components.

[dyeyk2000]

Haha I'm not sure what they're actually called. But you guys know what I mean. I've got a growing game collection and as Arkham Horror has taught me, the one bag for all technique just won't work  Hahaha.

So what and where do the gamers here buy their "box" of choice?

plano boxes are expensive there are some at True value. Look in hardware stores like ACE or DiY

Look for those plastic organizers at Ace Hardware or in those Japanese stores in the malls (like the one in Greenbelt 1; the name escapes me). I think you can also get them in the SM department stores. I don't have a particular brand in mind; I just get whichever fits in the board game box (and since I don't actually measure the inside dimensions of the box before buying, I have ended up with more than handful failed purchases ).

theres something called family boxes? Name escapes me. its the one Aerol bought. I scratched out the sticker of mine thats why i forgot

Familia Boxes, MMJ told me it was being sold in the 99 cents shop.

So far we dont have any Plano brand boxes easily accessible (at least I havent encountered any) so I use the Familia brand Hisashi mentioned that can be found in ACE and SM Department stores. So far this brand is the cheapest I can find. Other brands are unreasonably expensive. And yup, 99 Peso shops have these too

Ah boardgame OCness, don't you just love it

stanley case (i used it before on dnd minis) - fit for one warband.
i like plano cases because of adjustable compartments and sturdy built. i haven't seen this container too locally.

Ahhhh yes, having become a board gamer one also becomes a patron of fine plastic storage solutions. I swear by Daisho, the 66 Peso shop, the 99 Peso Shop, DIY and Ace. They all have a variety of plastic cases and storage good that can be converted to your gaming needs. Further, a variety of fine ziploc plastic bags and clones can be bought to handily store your fiddly bits. NG carries some velour/velvet bags that can also be useful, though a bit pricey.

There's nothing like well organized storage solutions to get my OCD freak on!

the 66 Peso store would seem to be cheaper than the 99 Peso store. where can the stores mentioned be found?

[Talismanic (Mark)]

I mainly buy at the DIY in Gateway Cubao. The 66 Peso Shop I ran across in Marquee Mall, in the Subic Clark area I think. Also Daisho and the 99 Peso place ata are one and the same, I bought from one in Glorietta.

Lolz, unlike the Japanese hyaku-en-ya, our 66, 88, and 99 peso shops dont only sell stuff at one price point. I think these containers are more or less the same price on a per type basis regardless of the shop name

I've recently bought from National bookstore (makati) they have a buy one take one there but only 2 sizes. I bought the bigger one which is 105 pesos, and used it to fit base pandemic bits (although it doesn't fit really well with the box but still ok) and stone age wood components.

yes boardgame OCness is nice because it takes away set-up time from removing something from ziplocks.

Happened to me b4 dats why my C&C: Ancients game blocks are all categorized in multi-sized zip-lock bags.
>_<

Shopping success! Was able to track down the said familia boxes

However, in the process I also found these really good boxes that are on sale in landmark makati ryt now. Situated ryt at the doors. Love these because they have 12 slots including 1 large enough to house cards. Bought 4 just myt go back n finish it up hahaha inam!

[cramnhoj]

I get mine from SM Makati, they have ones there same size as the Familia ones priced at php150+, but are priced only php75.  Only downside is their compartments aren't adjustable.
