I can't say enough good things about Really Useful Boxes, specifically the 64L and 17L sizes. They don't curve inwards at the bottom, they're sturdy, and they stack to the moon. AFIAK Office Depot is the only major place in the US that has them, and they're pricey as hell, but there's always a 20% off coupon and free shipping at least. Not sure if those modular ones are a newer line, but most plastic totes available at stores in the US are pretty much garbage in my experience. Any insight into what size would be a nice fit for a single layer of NES boxes? I've been looking for sturdy boxes that don't slope inwards forever. The standard totes are terrible for actually storing and moving valuables safely. I'll be moving about 700-800 NES games middle of next year so I'm definitely looking for something new.

It can hold 24 NES games but has a bit of wiggle room you might want to pad out. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drxandy | 3,225 Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 Since I set all these up and took a pic for the list I made, might as well milk it over here too haha. Just a handful of my favorite Japan only gamecube stuff that I have so far, ok so animal crossing in the back is the only one that isn't but I needed a big box to keep the puzzle collection visible. I just snagged 7 more Japan exclusive titles over the weekend, stoked to see em in a month. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have a ton of boxes, but I'm storing carts in the flat Sterilite modular stackers from Walmart. I think these are the 10 gallon size. I tested it with boxes and protectors and there's plenty of space, but they might rattle side-to-side a bit. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astor Reinhardt | 199 Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 I guess I need to up my storage game. I'm storing most of my carts in a generic tub that doesn't fit them very well...but it's super deep so I was able to get most of my carts into two tubs. They're just sitting in the middle of my room...reminding me daily of how much I need to finish my game room... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D~Funk | 284 Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 Dug out the old Shmups collection pic. This pic is years old now and I've added a lot of titles but doubt I'd ever get around to taking another one. 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fcgamer | 4,719 Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 Just got things cleaned out a bunch, here's mine. Can anyone spot the beer I'm drinking? my game room is really small, I'm basically out of space, I guess that should tell me something. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brings back some nostalgia for me looking through small HK shops in shonky back streets. This would have been around 20 years ago, I remember buying a fair few pirated PS1 games back then. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey, not to detail the thread but where did you get ya cart protectors? I am looking for the same style but keep running into "locking" ones with tabs on eBay and aliexpress that have an extra tab over the label which looks stupid.

VideoGameBoxProtectors and Retro Protection both sell "normal" protectors like that. I throw out the ones I get in the mail with those center locking tabs, they are awful. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That you need more shelves? Start hanging stuff from the ceiling? Put a shelving unit in the middle of the room like a 4 way tower and make it the centerpiece? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are we worried the games are gonna jump out of their boxes? Am I being subliminally discouraged from opening my games and lessening their value? Seriously...
