David, you might still be able to use your box even with 12 colors.
I can fit *six* nests in each tube, for a total of ten tubes for
twelve colors.  The trick is to stack the nests in alternating
directions - one up, one down.

If you're having trouble visualizing that, here's a picture -

I'm currently doing this with the six WW5 colors in three tubes, with the leftover pinks in the Pink Treehouse box and one mixed black/ orange tube. This makes it easy when we are setting up for our lunchtime game by just dumping out the three tubes and grabbing dice.
