Yikes, this is like the Icehouse equivalent of wearing a "Please tell me about your character" t-shirt to a LARP convention. And I too cannot resist. > Q1) How do you store your pyramids? Be specific (e.g. stacks of nests in > tubes in a Purple Bag; nests upright in a custom wooden box with foam > padding; etc). I have a plastic tuperware container that, in addition to 'mids, has baggies full of white and black stones (for Zendo), some coins, a few dice (normal and treehouse) and a random collection of cards and papers (Ice 7, twin-win victories, 3house, more stuff that I forget). I have two tubes, alternate stacked so they all fit, with the 4 colors * 3 nest of 'mids for Binary Homeworlds. Sometimes I'll just put these in a jacket pocket when I'm going somewhere that I might find an opponent (but usually it's only a silly, wasted hope). The remainder of my full ten color set (including the rest of my RYGBs) sloshes around free, but it's all packed so tight there's only been a little bit of wear to the tips. > Q2) How did you purchase your collection of pyramids? Be specific (e.g. all > mono stashes, over years; some mono, some Treehouse; all Treehouse, except > for gray and pink; etc). I bought the martian chess set for the classic four colors in.... a year long past. The next six colors I bought in mono tubes over the following years, including cyan from my friend's going-out-of-business, out-of-state game store right as the change to treehouse was happening. I bought my treehouse dice (a total of three) with rabbit points as they were about to expire. My Zendo beads were boggarted from an introductory Go set. I still don't have gray and pink. > Q3) Do you think your storage solution is impacted by the product package? > If so, how so? Not at all. But I do wish I hadn't pitched the box and four tubes sometimes. Mostly for nostalgia reasons. -- - |) () /\/
