I've been buying some of these clear tackle boxes for my Joes... I bought 2 sets of 4 so far... however, between the purchases, they slightly changed the product, so there's not complete symmetry between both lots. Also, the second lot had one damaged because they mailed in in a freaking bag. They are sending a replacement. So, I decided to start transferring my modern Joes first. Going with ARAH style figures. Will put Rise of Cobra stuff of characters with actor likeness as their own and Renegade specific stuff on their own as well. There are a few things: Duke's flags can't fit in with this storage solution. Doc and Life-Line's stretchers are tight fits. Spring loaded stuff takes up space. The vines of Roadblocks have to be given their own slots. I appear to be missing a part of Pilot Scarlett's crossbow. Might be somewhere, but it'd take so much digging to look for a small piece. What to do with Blind Master and Kwinn? Are they Joe alignment and if not where would you place them? Also is it Kwinn or Tracker Kwinn?      |

X-men rules!!
Hey those tackle boxes look good!
You could put the vines in the the compartment with the small cracked whole in it.
If they happen to poke out a little it would be kind of funny.
He's Kwinn to me, under Primary Military Specialty, I would assume Tracker.
Kwinn and Blind Master are Joe's.

Vines going in that crack spot is a decent idea.
The brand is called "Plano 2-3700 Prolatch Stowaway (four pack), Clear" if you are interested. 4 pack for about 40 bucks, so 10 bucks a box. I'll probably buy another pack next month. I got a lot of figures, so I'm not suddenly going to be able to get the amount needed tomorrow.

I wonder how much more enjoyable collecting would be if I got better storage, but I never can do it. I want to buy fun things.

That army of Alley Vipers is amazing. Sarge with removable hat... excellent. Nice set up with Tomax and Xamot as well.

 a lot of 7 classic x-men, also got the replacement storage box, this time packaged most more well, so I have 9 total with that one that's damaged. Did Felix's advice and shifted things around so one of the vines can go over that slot that's damaged. |

Got the last 6 blind bags at that Dollar Tree. Strangely no duplicates. Maybe others before me knew the codes? Anyway...   I was wanting the Spartan, the handyman...not so much.  Steampunk time traveler and viking are nice. (Mr. B is a chap hop musician)  Ghost Butler did it!  Native medicine man! I was a fan of the old west stuff.  Oddly, the time traveler came with an extra arm. |

Hopefully that has the German audio track so you can watch the show as it was intended.  I guess Orko is female in the German MOTU. |
