The storage solution that I an currently working on is I bought a plastic case that holds 12 colors of 5 nest each plus dice as well as a few other odds and ends like martian coasters and volcano caps.  I bought it at Joanne fabrics.  I am also working on making a three ring binder to hold rules and unique game boards.
