Slugrage 5,011 Posted August 26, 2018 I had been using 38mm coin holder pages to sort and store all my v1 dials in a 3-ring binder along with all the same faction pilots. However, now that the v2 dials are out, they're substantially bigger (now 50mm across for the fully assembled stock cardboard) and no longer fit in any standard coin page that I can find from any of the collector sites. I'm often running demos at the FLGS or game conventions, so I'm not keen to switch out to the FFG plastic holders each time I need to switch up the ship mix (other than for my own favourite squadron). Everything else I have is in a Battlefoam bag and foam, and the dials don't really fit in there either. So right now, they're in one zip-close bag for each faction. Cheap but annoying to dump out to find one specific dial. Does anyone have any thoughts on how to store the now wider 50mm wide dials? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Darth Meanie 15,662 Posted August 26, 2018 (edited) I use "bead boxes" from Michael's. I used to be able to get 5 per slot, but I think it will still work but less dials per slot. The also hold small bases nicely. Edited August 26, 2018 by Darth Meanie 1 1 Cgriffith and TasteTheRainbow reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just chucked them all in separated by faction in 1e I might try to be a bit more organised for 2e where I'll have a box per faction rather than one for every dial. 1 Darth Meanie reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Still will, but Now, Medium bases won't work, so I need a new solution there, too. Luckily I drink a lot of tea; the tins often work for large bases. Now medium too, I guess. I had just bought a bunch of storage for the smaller upgrade cards just before the 2.0 announcement. Now all useless. It's almost amazing how much 2.0 changes EVERYTHING.

Slugrage 5,011 Posted August 26, 2018 (edited) The bases all fit in the Battlefoam box. It's the dials that are the issue. I used to use these... but not now Edited August 26, 2018 by Slugrage Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well, it does cut down on storage costs and space (in either edition) for those of us who are cursed to buy 1 or 2 of everything. Also looks cooler. And they can be painted to match your ships. But yeah they're not cheap... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was mostly responding to anyone who said that they had stuff that fit in 1e and were upset it doesn't in 2e. I wasn't very keen on the idea of dial upgrade kits either but the amount of time it takes to set up is actually rather trivial compared to all the other setup involved in a game of X-Wing Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have bought a ton of accessories and stuff for this game like range rulers with my personal squadron name on them. And yet, the dial covers have always seemed a dumb expendature to me. Nevertheless, the one thing I like about the new 2.0 dials is how they show the entire options on the dial like the covers do. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I love the front facing maneuver collection, but for me the best bit about the new dials is the notch. My dad had a wrist injury when he was younger, and doesn't have feeling in some of his fingertips. This made it really hard for him to actually turn the 1e dials (to almost comic levels). The notch helps him turn them, so I'll have 1 more person to play with come September! 4 Darth Meanie, Kyle Ren, vtarin and 1 other reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Effenhoog 990 Posted August 26, 2018 The 2.0 dials fit in the same coin pages I was using for my 1.0 dials. Unfortunately I do not have any of the packaging or remember anything about the brand. The dials do have to be tilted sideways to fit in the pouches, but they still easily fit. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TreebeardTheEnt 92 Posted August 27, 2018 I use the Ultra Pro 52301 3-Ring Storage Page with Flaps for Embellishments and Accessories. The pockets are 2”x2” so they still fit the new dials. They are $7 on Amazon for a 10 pack with 20 pockets per page. 4 EvilEwok83, ViscerothSWG, CaptainJaguarShark and 1 other reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Infinite_Maelstrom 291 Posted August 27, 2018 I suppose you could just take the front off the old dials and put them on the new dials. It may not be the ideal solution but it could work. 1 drail14me reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DarthHenryAllen 100 Posted August 27, 2018 Personally, I'm still clinging to original box storage as much as possible. I know most people probably prefer plano/foam for their ships but the original box is still a really nice size for dials and tokens. You can fold construction paper to make channels, 2" for 2.0 dials, 1.5" for small tokens. Here's my Rebel box in progress with the dial channel updated to fit 2.0. 10 gadwag, CoffeeMinion, Bad Idea Comics and 7 others reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This is good, and a very good layout... I think most people are avoiding this option because of how much effort is required to pull it off. I've already got too many projects myself, and trust me, I was considering making my own dial boxes...

I am using Broken Token card boxes and the boxes they have out as prize support in the early days to hold my cards. I need more for the bigger cards that changed size.

For less than one Canadian dollar (that's what, 13 cents American?) I got a box that contained both Imperial and Rebel conversion kits worth of cards. 1 heychadwick reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
