I typed "Plano 3952" into Amazon and this is what came up (see pic below).  Looks pretty cool and like it will hold lots of models.  If any one gets it let us know how it works (looks like it has two compartments for models and two clear compartments for accessories, but I can't tell for sure).  Here is the link FYI:  www.amazon.com/Plano-Double-Cover-Tackle-Organizer/dp/B001ECQPVQ/ref=sr_1_1

 

 

 

 

 

The two-sided red one is $9 cheaper than the blue one at amazon…

Looks like the double red one is cheaper because it doesn't have the top and bottom compartments in the clear cover.  That is an important part of this unit.  I have the single one and it wouldn't work at all without the extra storage in the cover.  Looks like there are many that look similar, so be careful about which one  you buy (I highly recommend the one with storage in the cover).

Crud!  Now you tell us.   They do look nice, though.  I ended up getting the "popular" Plano 5231.

For storage and transport, I'm using a Plano 3730 case. Easily holds the contents of 2 core box sets and 7 expansions. (Could hold another TIE fighter, too.)

All of the minis are on bases and standing on 2 pegs. The TIE fighters are set on their sides, and will stack nicely that way. The other ships are all standing up. I've put small baggies of counters in between the ships to prevent them from moving around too much in transit, but there's plenty of room for those baggies in other compartments, if I wanted.

The wells on this case are too deep for holding just a few tokens, so it's not a great case to play out of. But it's fine for carrying the stuff around.

I just found out about them myself. I wish the inserts were changeable. What if I don't have 2 TIE Advanceds, but I have 3 Y-Wings?

Very cool (especially that it fits in the starter box), but also very pricy.  It would cost $30 with shipping and tax for just one of these.  Two would be about $47 (and I'd need at least two). I could get nearly two starter sets or 5 boosters on Miniature Market or this price.  If the price comes down I will consider it.  But for now I'll stick to my red Plano organizer.  No problems so far, and a lot would have to break beyond repair to make this worth it to me.

I am seriously thinking about ordering one of these! Although I have 5 Ties.

I am leaning in that direction myself.  I have the single sided version, Plano 5231, and I have plenty of room left after filling it with 2 core sets and 2 of each expansion.  But I think I'm going to wait to see how my Wave 2 purchases fit.  I don't see a need for more than one Falcon or Slave 1, so they may fit too with my multiple TIE Interceptors and A-wings.  We'll see.

I also picked up the Plano 5231.  I'm also looking to get the double-sided Plano close to the launch of "Wave 2" -- mainly for general storage now, and using the 5231 as a "squad transport".
