March 12th, 2023, Cabela's / Bass Pro Shop have the Bass Pro 3600 boxes on sale at 4 for $12. Got a 3601 there too for $8, so $20 all in! My wife and son followed your instructions and put everything together, and they told me I HAD to post to your feed and let you know what a fabulous job you did with the templates and instructions. Thanks so much for the great quality content!
Just got Gloomhaven. Was shocked that I'd have to pay basically the same again to sort the storage problem. Then I found your excellent video. Thanks so much.
I just wanted to thank you for this series. I appreciate the time it took you to put it all together and the quality of the videos. They helped me a ton! All the best!
Oh my Goodness this is perfect. I've been eyeballing storage solutions for this game and I really didn't want to spend almost as much as I spent on the game! This is awesome!
Thank you!!!! After searching for a storage option this is what I landed on. It was hard to wait for the boxes before I popped the pieces out, but it was worth it. So easy to organize this way.
We ended up doing this exactly as you suggested (though with something a bit more organized for the map tiles). Thank you so much for your very classy videos, Pete.
Very cool! glad this worked for you. Yeah, I would like to have a bit more organization for the map tiles and sometimes wonder about getting a accordion folder for these. Then I will break my rule to get everything to fit in the box perhaps :)
As an Advanced Squad Leader player, I am VERY familiar with the Plano storage boxes. I have tons of them for the infantry, guns, and armour for all the nations involved in WW2. So naturally, using Plano for Gloomhaven is a natural extension. I highly recommend this choice rather than the very overly priced cardboard storage boxes - the plastic Plano boxes are not only more durable but they have a lid and close tightly so that your pieces don't go flying everywhere in your Gloomhaven box!
Just got Gloomhaven at a swap meet for $50 and I'm happy that we found an affordable storage solution! The game is daunting without one and we didn't want to spend $99+ for one
I like this idea! I would have done this had I known about it earlier. This game is so huge that I literally bought an Ender 3 (3d printer) to print out a storage solution. Granted it's not just for Gloomhaven at this point since I see now that there are free 3d insert files for Imperial Assault, Root, etc. Just crazy how big it is and how much bigger it's sequel is going to be.
So we did ours with stuff I found around the house. We did it kind of similarly in regards to map tokens and monster tokens using two old bead organizer boxes. However, we made what I call our battle kit that has all the status, hp and coins in a repurposed picture hanging kit. Also I prefer what we did with the cards. We had a couple little wooden boxes from the craft store laying around that fit all the smaller cards on there sides perfectly. Then I just cut out some labeled dividers from the backing of an old legal pad. All the small cards fit in the two small boxes. The larger cards went into an old Pokémon tcg card box I had with just enough room for the square monster cards and envelopes to fit in with them perpendicular to the regular city/road cards. The white and yellow stands fit in there too. We were able to fit it all back into the box and didn't have to buy a thing. Just lucky I guess :P
I'm impressed! I looked for spare storage around my house and the best I came up with were some oversized bead boxes that worked for the monster standees and other tokens but not for much else. I like that you got everything back in the box. I find there are times when I have all of my stuff sitting out for quite a while where I don't pack it back in the box. But. just having the satisfaction to know that when I want to put everything away, it fits in the box keeps my OCD in check :). Thanks for the share!
Thanks for the video! Just organized my new purchase accordingly. I sleeved all my cards so they take up a bit more room but the box still closes except for the last 3/4 of an inch or so. Good enough, methinks. :-)
@@ModernTablegamer I used these for the smaller cards. They're thinner, but I was able to fit them into the Plano box even sleeved. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XZJ113R/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
This is an amazing video. Thank you for the work you've done inorder to put this together. I do have a question though, When I printed the box legends on the card stock there was only three files but I have 4 boxes. Where do I find the fourth file to print?
Hi Wicaksono! Is Ultimate Edition similar to the insert included with the Non-Ultimate Edition Mage Knight? I'm not the biggest fan of the insert in the 2011 release /base game, but at least it has some sort of place for the components - except not if you sleeve your cards :(
Hi Antonio, I don’t. I am borrowing a copy of Jaws of the Lion right now from my son and daughter-in-law actually right now and am just using tons of ziploc plastic bags for components and it’s not working too well. Maybe there is a good suggestion someone can recommend, or a video someone can recommend? It’s something I would definitely apply if I get my own copy of this :)
@@ModernTablegamer I'm also having problem to buy this specific Plano box. If possible for you to tell the exact model name would be a blast! \o/ The link still doesn't work. Thanks for the video!
Does anyone know? My thought is yes, you could probably squeeze it in. the box cover may pop up a bit more due to the thickness of the additional scenario guide.
I see the printables referenced in the video and in the comments here, but can not locate the files. Is anyone able to point me in the right direction?
Laser ox provides a great insert for about $70 usd, but shipping will get you since it's coming from the other side of the world. Ordering this and another insert for a different game, I'm still only paying $120
HI John, that's a great point. I went back and looked at all of these and was like "you know, John's right!", as I found there were only 10 pieces in a bin marked with an "18". So then the investigation continued... I went through all of the bins marked "18" and found they all contained "10" pieces. With that, I looked closer at the calligraphy style font and have come to the conclusion that the "8" in this font is actually the "0" of this font. It really looks like an "8" though.
You do realize that these boxes exist already... they’re called Jewelry/Bead Organizers (plastic ones), and they’re literally precisely the same as this, but they’re already pre-built with sections.... and they’re insanely cheap at Michael’s, Walmart, Amazon. Lol. In other words, to anyone looking for cheap/efficient storage methods... no offense, but this is a colossal waste of time. Broken Token is also a waste of money/time. Just buy a few plastic jewelry/bead organizers and one or two wooden trays (just make sure the dimensions/sizes are correct) and it’s the same thing, but cheaper and way faster.
Correct and good point! I've been using bead / jewelry organizers for years to sort game components for many games on my shelf. My wife knows I'm addicted to these in the way I bolt for the arts and crafts sections of Walmart, Hobby Lobby and Michaels when we go. Naturally when I picked up Gloomhaven this was my first stop. I went with dimensions in hand and at least locally I didn't couldn't find a configuration that fit as well as the ones mentioned in the BGG post. Unfortunately these Plano tackle boxes are not available in some regions. So if anyone has different or cheaper options using bead or jewelry sorting boxes, please feel free to share!

You bet!
I finally did this for my Gloomhaven. Thanks for making this video! It was super helpful!
About to do this to my gloomhaven, and then do jaws of the lion. This is very nicely organized.
Thanks so much for this great video. I just finished getting my Plano boxes squared away and this is awesome!

You're a legend.
Asked this question just a second ago on another one of your videos! Awesome, thank you!
Hi Marc! Glad you found the links!
Tbh, this looks better than my expensive broken token organizer. Going to convert.
I hope you like this set up!

Thanks for the series dude, you rock
Thanks so much Christopher!
Please please do this for Frosthaven!
putting all items into a business card folder is easier for item retrieval and you can flip cards that are unavailable for purchase
That's a good point. I end up flipping through my items quite a bit to create the market.
High quality channel! Thank you :)
HI Roy, Thanks so much!
I just use a ~$20 1000ish card holder for all the cards and the minis (they fit perfectly) then plastic bags for all the small cardboard.
Hello! Do you plan to make same solution for frosthaven? For terrain tiles and monster standees ^^
I wish this would have been here last year...
We used a lot of ziplocs and uh.. .yeah, your solutions are better :D
If Frosthaven uses a similar insert, I'm buying stock in Ziploc :P
Can you do one for Frosthaven?

You should also do one for Mage Knight Ultimate Edition!

@@ModernTablegamer It's quite different! The box is unnecessarily huge. You can search for "Mage Knight Ultimate Edition Reboxing" here on TH-cam.
Could someone give me a hint about the cards? They don't seem to fit at all in the box!
Dear Pete, can I want to know you'r honest opinion about gloomhaven. Pros and cons, if you want! Thank you for this video!
This is one I’ll give you after I do the Gloomhaven videos :)

It’s gotta be me... where the heck is the PDF or Image for the 4th box - Plano 3601, the smaller one🙄
Plano has a large variety of 3600 boxes. Which one are you referring to? Your link doesn't work.
Thanks for pointing out the broken links. I’ll get them fixed. The Bolzano boxes needed are three 3600s and one 3601

Ahh! Darn auto-correct. Meant to say Plano

Link broken. Can't find storage boxes you reference (no longer for sale?). Do you have an alt suggestion with the same dimensions?

Not that I am aware of, but I would love to see it!
can i just use 4x 3600? if im okay with it not fitting in the box?
Absolutely!
Is it me or do all the labels on the Plano inserts that should say "8" instead say "18"?
