Storage boxes for map boards

Post by marcus_aurelius »

This is a wierd question.... I really like the boxes that Klingon Border and Romulan Border came in to hold all my map boards. They are exactly the right size with minimal area for the maps to slide around.

I now have more map boards than will fit in the boxes. Does ADB sell those boxes as spare parts (I didn't see them on the website)? Or does anyone know something else specifically that I can use?

I went to some container / craft stores nearby and did not find any storage containers that met my needs. Perhaps I am being obsessive-compulsive about this?

I use these plastic carriers i got from Office Depot. The brand is "Really Useful Products, Ltd."

They come in different sizes, the top clicks on securely enough, and they stack great, which lets me carry several. Also, it is plastic, and will not crush easy, and keep rain out.

The 4 litre box it great for manuals and map boards. Its what I use, and I think it is snug enough to keep your boards all sweet looking.

See it here: http://www.officedepot.com/a/products/5 ... orage-Box/

They have taller ones as well, but this one works real good for carrying FC items.

To answer your direct question, yes, ADB will sell the "white boxes". Send an email to sales@starfleetgames.com, and Leanna will help you with that. ADB is really, really good about selling spare parts, even weird things like blank counters, boxes, and cover art.

Sorry for the indirect answer. But I really love my boxes.

Thanks for the info! I may take a trip to Office Depot and check them out. Then I will either buy those or check with ADB on the white box availability.

Did you also need to buy a new truck to get to your games meeting? :)

Or a truck *and* a 10 x 6 x 6 foot utility trailer. :lol:
