Counted all my minis last night and I'm good to do. Also bought a tackle box at walmart thats workign well.
Question for you all: How do you get the bent bones mimis to straighten out? I was going to run them under hot water to see if that would help.
I've got some minis that won't even stand up. I wish the material was less rubbery.
Boil them, then ice bath.
Try to not let them sit on the heat source. Boil for about 2-3 minutes. put them directly into an ice bath for another 2-3 minutes. They will "bounce back" to factory shape. Most of them don't even require you to force a position. It is easier than you would think. Make sure and wash again afterward since it will activate some residue.
That worked! I had 3 with issues and had to manually bend the bat swarm piece after boiling because it still was unevenly balanced. Thanks for the tip!
Here are picks for my storage systems:

Was debating using a tackle box or plano storage boxes. Opted for the tackle box because I only have to open one thing and I have everything at my finger tips. Player minis are on one side and DM NPC and mobs are on the other. I even have room for markers and a deeper bottom for the large figs.
That looks great!
I am so anxious to get mine. Is it weird that I am looking forward to organizing them?
Here's how mine are organized:

Thanks for the tip about boiling. I'll try that tonight.

I went through all my minis yesterday and I have exactly what I should have. That spreadsheet was great.
Also, the boiling/ice technique worked great. My owl bear can finally stand! I went ahead and did probably half of them through the boil/ice. I had a lot that were bent.
I have some with swords that are abit curved so I might do those to see if the sword straightens out.
I plan to practice painting on the rats and small creatures first.
I went to walmart to look for a tackle box and ended up coming home empty handed. I couldn't decide. I think I'll delay a little bit and wait until I have a few painted to figure out how to organize them. The boil/ice straightened out all the swords for me. I had one sword that was doing a 180, and its perfectly fine now.
I got my tackle box from walmart for $25. I like that i only have to poen one thing to access everything. The plano boxes are nice, but I think they are cumbersome to manage during play.
MY BONES ARRIVED TODAY!!!
Everything has been dry-fitted and inventoried. I have an extra set of four Nova guys and am short a couple of other figures. All-in-all not too bad of an accuracy in my opinion.

Nice, I don't see a Kaladrax :) :) (Thought I'd rub it in a bit)
I think that I hate you right now.Quote:
