Pilot Cards

This is my first foamboard enhanced CollectorBox, and I fully intend to add many further versions in the future. Building instructions can be found in the Generic Material section, looking forward to your feedback!

Upgrade Cards

My second foamboard enhanced CollectorBox. If you are familiar with the paper version of this one I have to tell you that this one a bit smaller, therefore doesn’t hold as much cards as the old version. This is because I wanted to have similar footprint for all new CollectorBoxes and to reduce the required print sheets. Even more I thinks it can be handled better at this size. You can refer to the same building instructions as mentioned above, the only difference is that you have to glue the middle wall inside the box before closing it with the last wall. It’s really easy, the position is shown on the templates.

Attention: This section covers the old cardstock only version of the CollectorBoxes, this design will not be developed further due to stability issues. Check out the new foamboard enhanced version.

What is a CollectorBox?

Storing your upgrade cards in separate tuckboxes looks cool, but some of you might prefer not opening a bunch of boxes to look through your cards. That’s perfectly understandable and therefore I designed this CollectorBox, one big box to store all(!) upgrade cards at once, where you can easily flip through all your cards and assemble your fleet in no time. All categories are separated by dividers and some of them are further separated by subdividers (neither of them being mandatory, of course). Please note that the following pictures all show the Armada version of the CollectorBox, because the only difference is the artwork, the boxes are completely identical otherwise.

The CollectorBox comes in 3 different sizes, each of them with two different configurations. Three of them feature one row for cards and the other three (being twice as wide) feature two rows for cards. The following table gives a rough(!) estimation of how much cards you can fit into each box:

Keep in mind that with these numbers you will still be able to flip through your cards with ease. If you want to have a tight fit you can easily add another 80 cards per row. Furthermore all numbers apply to sleeved cards (original FFG sleeves).

Here you can see prototype double-row CollectorBox. Of course the final file comes with artwork and the final lid also goes all the way down to the bottom of the main box. I’ve sacrificed this prototype to show you how the reinforcement rectangles not only help stabilizing the box but also protect the dividers from being squeezed together by the lid. As you can see, the lid rests on the rectangles rather than the dividers:

Instruction slider

If you already built a CollectorBox for X-Wing, it’s exactly the same concept, I’ve merely changed the artwork. The following instructions show the build of a double-row box, if you like to see how a single-row box is build, just head over the Armada instruction slider.

Note: If you happen to have some spare 5mm foamboard, this will make even better reinforcements than the cardboard ones. And it’s more easy to build, simply take the measurements from the cardboard version!
