Wow, I didn't start on page 33 this thread!! Groundbreaking.
Regarding theavengerthor's storage comments in the last thread, I have a pretty nice wooden case that holds about 2500 figures, standing upright, and thought it would hold all the sets forever. But after Hammer of Thor came out, it was finally stuffed full. Since then, the newer sets had to live in little plastic bins. It really bugged me, until I went to Big Lots and found some rollaround Sterlite drawer units that will hold old sets, standing upright, in a couple of drawers, and new sets in one, and bought six. Also had some larger drawers to hold Sentinel and Super Booster sized figures.
It had been driving me to actual anxiety just worrying about the situation, but after spending about a week reorganizing the old sets to the Sterlite, and moving the new sets into the better case, I felt a new peace. Seriously. And knowing that there is room in the nice case for another five or six sets is wonderful!! Guess our Clixs mean more to some of us than we realize!
Mine were all just thrown together in a tackle box. I did go through and pull out figures I used often and put them into a smaller box, but that's about as far as organizing them as I got.

My collection is in great disorder. Sometime after HoT came out I came across a china cabinet that was housing most the new sets. Once I would try and put cap in there it will have reached maximum capacity. That does't include the smaller side releases and starters. As is things are way out of hand since the last few months. Pre-china cabinet I was using plastic tackle/craft trays that barring large giants and obscurely shaped sculpts would fit whole sets in each tray. I'll be needing to invest in quite a few more of those. I've just been trying to find them someplace cheap. So far my quest seems to point to either harbor freight or home depot having what I would need at a reasonable price.
My HeroClix are all stored in Stanely (or Workforce...a licensee) 24 compartment organizers, organized and stacked by set. I had enough of them stored up to last up to GSX. I have more, but they are of a new mold with a different shape. You can't find the old molds anywhere...not even on ebay. I would buy like 20 of them if I could find them.
I've actually started cycling out old sets and putting them into case boxes in baggies. There is pretty much nothing left from Infinity Challenge that I would use...Unique Wasp, or Ant-Man aside (and those I have duplicates of in a drawer with all the other duplicates of the Avengers I have, which is all of them except Ice Cap and Thorbuster).
They are awesome for storing your clix safely and without using a lot of real estate. The con would be when you need to get something old, you have to dig for it but taking the stack down to wherever in history you need to be.

It's not that my Clix mean so much to me that I need to keep them safe. It's simply a need for unified organization that drives me.
Just out of curiousity, what do you like? And not meaning for that to come off rude or anything but just curious if it's not your type of place or something else.
