uscstaylor Posted February 21, 2015 Posted February 21, 2015 Hey Folks, Now that I have invested a lot of time and money in my suit. I would love to see how you all carry your suits around! I personally would like to have a hard box style container with wheels. Can you all share your pics of how you tote your gear around and maybe where you got it from. Thanks so much!
BikerScout007 Posted February 21, 2015 Posted February 21, 2015 I have this exact bin right here: http://www.target.co...ic+storage+bins It's cheap and I like the colors, thought they were very imperial. A lot of guys have the big ones with the wheels, yada yada ... the scout costume is light, and those things are a pain to get through tight spaces, stairs and elevators. I just lift my bin over my head and zip around everyone before they've even figured out how they're going to negotiate the next turn down the hall! 1
Chunk Posted February 21, 2015 Posted February 21, 2015 Wheels are always better. Roller tub from Lowes. http://www.lowes.com/pd_336429-1156-9124SR_4294707881__?productId=3355634&Ns=p_product_qty_sales_dollar|1&pl=1¤tURL=%3FNs%3Dp_product_qty_sales_dollar|1&facetInfo= 1
Darth Voorhees Posted February 21, 2015 Posted February 21, 2015 i use this one: Made by contico. It has wheels on one end. This one is also airline legit size wise. Ive also shipped my costumes tom florida twice in these totes. 3
Uncle Posted February 21, 2015 Posted February 21, 2015 I have this one like most other legion members: http://www.homedepot.com/p/Stanley-24-Gal-Mobile-Chest-029025R/203710098 With this one, you can get an engraved plaque that fits over the Stanley logo from the Legion boards. It's a pretty good size and probably not practical for a scout. I also have one just like DV's. Picked that one up at Walmart for around $25. 2
uscstaylor Posted February 21, 2015 Author Posted February 21, 2015 This is great stuff hope more people post here, more options the better
4505Marcel Posted February 21, 2015 Posted February 21, 2015 I personally just use a hard type suit case for my scout, while these large wheeled tubs are great for costumes with lots of parts like clones ect. A scout will pack up relatively small, so I use a smaller case for comfort when pulling around my scout 3
Chef Posted February 21, 2015 Posted February 21, 2015 Berghaus Mule 100 for me. Yeah, it's a soft bag, but it's wheeled, has a carry strap, handles and can turn into a rucksack too. I can fit all my gear in it the helmet goes in a helmet bag. It also fits perfectly into the luggage compartment in my bus. 2
uscstaylor Posted February 22, 2015 Author Posted February 22, 2015 Well guys These are all great ideas and samples, please keep them coming. I think it's a great way to share how everyone carries their costumes around and keeping them safe at the same time! I have found this tote at Home Depot and I'm going to check it out tomorrow. http://t.homedepot.com/p/Stanley-3-in-1-Rolling-Workshop/203367137/?MERCH=REC-_-tablet_pip1_rr-3-_-NA-_-203367137-_-N&showPLP=false The top looks like it can hold the armor pieces, undersuit, bun. The middle tray can hold extras like elastic, tape, glue, paint, extra tools etc. etc. etc. The bottom can hold the helmet and the boots 1
sleeverob Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 Just a piece of advice. If you buy a large tub of any kind, be sure to bring your "trooping" vehicle with you. Better than that measure the back seat opening/trunk. I have seen members buy a tote, wheel it out to the parking lot, try and put it in, fail and have to wheel it back in to exchange it for a smaller one.
uscstaylor Posted February 23, 2015 Author Posted February 23, 2015 Lol that's funny but I'm good in that department thanks...
Griffin-X Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 I have the rolling workshop and it did not work out for me; not enough room. Walmart has a nice foot locker/trunk for about $20. It even has wheels on one side. I use this type of foot locker for 3 of 5 costumes. http://www.walmart.c...t-of-2/16415912
uscstaylor Posted February 23, 2015 Author Posted February 23, 2015 Thanks Jim That's great stuff, please guys keep posting your pics, this way we can get a really good data base for people to use as reference!

Not only can I get my Scout in here, but I can also empty it out and fit my entire Captain Rex in there as well. It rolls well too.
