thomas and friends mini series

What kind of box are you using and where did you get them? I love they way they look!

I collected all the info I could find on storage boxes and some other related items for collectors. I'm really hoping someone will copy this to a wiki somewhere as a quick-reference for new users.

The organizer boxes that are popular in this thread are Darice 32-Compartment No-Spill Organizers, also called bead boxes, and you can find them in the craft section at Walmart. They're about $7 in-store, or you can buy them online from Walmart or Amazon. Each box holds 30 Minis; there are two spots in the front that won't hold a train because they are smaller but are a good place to cut some of the art off a couple of the checklists and minis bags and decorate it a bit.

Most people use white labels with a 10 font, they have adhesive backings with a small piece of clear tape so they'll stay put. Some people also use labels with a clear backing.

Another display option is an acrylic nail polish stand.

There are some gray tracks that fit the minis, seen in this youtube video but there is no link to buy them. Some people have 3D-printed their own, if you already have a printer they are not expensive but it is very time-consuming.

And for the collectors on the go there is an Android app that was posted here and of course my own contribution a checklist web page at mini.ixbyix.com.
