Indyrebel[TK] Posted May 12, 2012 Report Share Posted May 12, 2012 (edited) I found this at Lowe's for only $24.97. It has wheels, handle and 2 slots in the lid to put pad locks. Everything fit nicely, I really like it! Edited February 3, 2022 by gmrhodes13 link not working removed 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anphrax[TK] Posted May 12, 2012 Report Share Posted May 12, 2012 (edited) That looks nice! This is mine:----------- It probably has enough room for a TK and one other if packed well. I considered getting my girlfriend into a con or something with it because it's so big!

I have one of these in the basement not doing much of anything. Time to repurpose it for my future kit. I'll get my son to plaster it with his Stormtrooper stickers to get the love going.

LadyInWhite[TK] Posted May 12, 2012 Report Share Posted May 12, 2012 Some people could probably fit in that 25gal thing, but I use a 50 and I'm lucky if I can close the lid. (Then again, we could go into the opinion/steroetype that i'm a girl and am over-packing... but that's not really the case here... that's my story and I'm stickin' to it.) Some guys fit their kids into a golf bag, so what do I know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clamps[TK] Posted May 12, 2012 Report Share Posted May 12, 2012 I have a hockey bag with wheels lying around too. Once I get my kit I will go with the better fit option. I do like my Stanley as an option though as I can lock it up better than a hockey bag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HockeyTrooper[TK] Posted May 12, 2012 Report Share Posted May 12, 2012 I originally thought about going with a hockey bag as well (I mean, I only have 3 or 4 not being used lying around) but after constructing the armor decided to go with the Stanely tote due to durability. I was worried my armor would get banged around too much in the hockey bag! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silverBoyd[501st] Posted May 25, 2012 Report Share Posted May 25, 2012 (edited) I recently picked up a 45 gallon Rugged Tote brand storage container @ Lowe's for around $35 after tax. It seems to fit everything nicely. I really like that it has wheels on it as well as the nice locking lid. I didn't have my thigh armor or helmet in it when I took the pictures but I have since placed them inside and it all fits nicely with some creative armor packing. ------------ Edited February 3, 2022 by gmrhodes13 link not working removed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dutchtrooper[TK] Posted August 13, 2012 Report Share Posted August 13, 2012 Most everyone in the Great Lakes Garrison has the Stanley ones from the Home Depot. I got one myself and I love it. It's a little hard to fit into the trunk of my Imperial Hybrid though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haribon72[TK] Posted December 30, 2013 Report Share Posted December 30, 2013 Question: In event you have to travel (fly) to another city or state for an event (i.e. Star Wars Celebration), what is the best way to protect your armor and gear? The Stanley 50 Gallon storage box i'm looking at is 30.7 pounds. http://www.amazon.com/Stanley-037025H-Gallon-Mobile-Chest/dp/B000Q5LZT4#productDetails The airlines baggage limit is 50 pounds. Any solutions or great ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Aloha[Admin] Posted December 30, 2013 Report Share Posted December 30, 2013 (edited) I use this thing I got from home depot. It takes some creative packing to get everything in there and I just carry my bucket on the plane with me. It's lightweight and has never exceeded 50 lbs while flying with my armor. It has easily handled a bunch of flying except that dragging across a stone patio I broke one of the wheels off.... which seems easily fixed. Take a look at some of the modifications one of the SLD guys has done to the case. He uses it for his badass Vader. It's worth reading the whole thread. I will probably replace it with a big Stanley tote soon for troops I don't have to fly to. There are a handful of threads here on FISD detailing what people use to travel with and store their armor. Some folks purchased hard case rolling luggage and have had pretty good success. (I was eyeing some at costco recently). Do a couple quick searches and you'll find better answers than mine. -Eric Edited February 3, 2022 by gmrhodes13 link not working removed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haribon72[TK] Posted December 30, 2013 Report Share Posted December 30, 2013 Thanks Eric!

aramis Posted January 6, 2014 Report Share Posted January 6, 2014 Thanks for posting all of the options, guys...as a newbie here its nice to have the options narrowed down a bit when thinking about necessary evils like storage cases, etc. It's one less thing I can mess up.

cjdesign[TK] Posted November 7, 2015 Report Share Posted November 7, 2015 Great Paint Job Alan! I have the same box. so maybe I'll convert mine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daetrin[Admin] Posted November 7, 2015 Report Share Posted November 7, 2015 For flying I bought a hard shell suitcase and take my helmet as carry-on on a helmet bag. I have one of the basic Rugged Totes and they are huge, but some day I keep telling myself I like the looks of a Stanley box where people take the time to put in foam so that nothing gets damaged. My armor always takes a beating Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VancouverTrooper Posted November 16, 2015 Report Share Posted November 16, 2015 Thinking of building a second case but it will be smaller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MBullen64 Posted February 28, 2017 Report Share Posted February 28, 2017 Has anyone used the 35" (25 gal) Husky rolling job tote? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G890A using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kman[TK] Posted February 28, 2017 Report Share Posted February 28, 2017 Has anyone used the 35" (25 gal) Husky rolling job tote? It's pretty common around here, although mostly among those with smaller cars that can't fit the bigger model. You have to get creative with packing, but you should be able to fit everything inside except the helmet. It's a well made, sturdy case, otherwise.

MBullen64 Posted February 28, 2017 Report Share Posted February 28, 2017 I picked one (25 gal) up today. Awesome, it fits long ways and sideways into a fiesta trunk. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G890A using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
