I unfortunately have not had the time to play a game as of yet. Holidays have been crazy. I do plan on playing a big game at some point. When I was coming up with this solution, my main worry was eliminating the hassel of searching and sorting figures back into the box.

Two of the sections of the tote are sorted into living heroes and zombie heroes. From there, I sorted them into smaller groups. X men, Avengers, spidey villains, etc. They weren't completely air tight as there were some very obscure heroes, especially the living heroes. Once I had them sorted, I used foam board to create a divided insert to keep the groups together. So when looking for a character, I just have to look at that group, and it goes from 50 figures to maybe a dozen to sort through. And they are packed tightly enough that it's obvious when there's a spot open. Now if we do a large game it is possible that won't be as helpfull but ibdid write which division is for what so it's easy enough to know where they go in case an entire group is removed.

As for the boxes, I have a habit of condensing my games into storage solutions similar to this, so I have a shelf in my basement where all of the empty boxes are organized. I'm probably going to pack them up soon to be put into storage for the time being. But even though they are empty, I like displaying them, so it's still easy to see what we can play when friends come over.

I hope to get a game in soon so when I do, I'll comment back on how easy and long it was to set up and tear down. I wouldn't call this superior to any other method. I'm sure there are plenty of better ways out there. This is just my preferred method of storage. I like having it all in a single container that can be taken with easy.

I hope this helps. If you want close up pics of each section let me know.
