The "Barbie Dreamhouse"

Joanne Fabrics and wargaming are not two things you normally associate. However, as Rob showed us, Joanne can serve the wargamer in many ways. :)

The "Barbie Dreamhouse" is one example. Joanne sells a wide variety of scrapbooking storage that works really damn well for mini storage. Compartmentalized, modular, and quite a bit cheaper than authentic wargame mini storage. Rob was able to pick up a couple on heavy discount, and the one he snagged for me has worked well for transporting and storing all the damn Therians and UNA I own.

Mind you, the "Barbie Dreamhouse" isn't perfectly built. The top lid gets a little shifty when you add the weight of 8000 army points worth of minis. A strong tug, and the lid could come free, spilling your armies everywhere. So, you have to utilize a length of velcro to ensure the lid stays on properly. Not a perfect situation - but when your mini storage container is $15, and a roll of velcro strips runs $5, it's still a very reasonable investment for mini storage.

By the way, the term, "Barbie Dreamhouse", is a Dave-ism. He has yet to get one - the monkey army hasn't grown enough to require a deluxe home, yet. :)
