The IMPERIAL-004 storage solution provides storage for minis, cards, and tokens.  This insert is designed to be used with the Imperial Assault Return to Hoth, Jabba’s Realm, or Heart of the Empire expansion boxes and offers thirteen removable storage trays to meet your Imperial Assault storage needs.  This insert was designed to stand alone, but it is a direct complement to our IMPERIAL-001, IMPERIAL-002, and IMPERIAL-003 inserts.

Note: this storage solution will raise your box top by ~1.2″.  This is due to the size of the Rancor (Hoth) and AT-DP (Heart) figures and the need to provide storage for them.  If this bothers you, you can always grab an IMP-003 and store your Rancor/AT-DP elsewhere.   Our goal with this solution was to provide ongoing storage for your IA minis as well as the other components in the expansions supported.

A full set of etched dividers is also included and the dividers are compatible with our other IA storage solutions.

This insert includes storage for:

• large cards  (sleeved or unsleeved) – one tray
• small cards (sleeved or unsleeved) – two trays
• tokens – four trays total – only one set of two trays is usable, depending on whether you are storing tokens from Heart of the Empire or Return to Hoth
• miniatures – eight trays (stores as many as 55 minis in individual compartments)
• stores everything except map tiles, which you can store in your empty Twin Shadows/Bespin Gambit boxes utilizing our IMPERIAL-002 insert.

The deep minis storage tray provided in this kit provides flexible storage for large and tall minis, and has a flexible divider system that will allow you to store a handful of smaller minis as well.  The largest mini storage tray in this solution will store one Rancor or one AT-DP.  If you store the AT-DP disassembled, you can store the two minis together.

What Do You Need?

Imperial Assault has a ton of expansions and we continue to suport the game and expansions. When new content is released, we assess the storage needs and provide information about how the new content fits into the existing storage solutions we provide. In cases of big box releases, we typically design a dedicated storage solution for the new box.

Wave 11 Update

See our recommendation below, as always, for a quick synopsis of what you need. Wave 11 fits fine in our recommended storage solutions as of wave 10 (see below).  The box provided for the Tyrants expansion is the small expansion box that we use for map tile storage for Imperial Assault, so it is unusable for storing minis, cards, etc.  You may want to consider purchasing an IMP-002 for additional tile storage to use in the Tyrants box.  It will certainly be need at some point soon.  However, if you own one of everything to this point, you don't quite need another IMP-002 unless you want to better split/organize the tiles among the expansions.  We are storing our tiles in just two IMP-002 at this point, so it is not required.

Wave 10 Update

See our recommendation below, however,  I will note that Wave 10 will fit into your existing IMP-004 (without the need to purchase another and assuming you already have a full set of our inserts), if you don't mind storing your AT-DP disassembled with your Rancor.  You will also need to store the new tokens somewhere non-standard.  There is not much room left and it is not optimal, but it can be done.  You will likely need a new IMP-004 insert starting with Wave 11.

General Recommendations

• If you own one of everything (base game, expansions, and small expansion figures), you need: 1x IMP-001, 2x IMP-002, 1x IMP-003, 2x IMP-004. Purchasing the listed solutions will leave you with an IMP-004 with future storage capacity, leaving room for future wave expansions through some point in 2019. You may optionally want to grab an IMP-DIV-001 as well. The IMP-DIV-001 provides additional dividers for the IMP-001 to allow groups of cards (Imperial, Hero, Item, and Deployment) to be further divided.
• If you own just the base game, grab 1x IMP-001.

Storage Solutions for Imperial Assault

• IMP-001 - this solution is designed to store the base game.
• IMP-002 - this solution is designed to fit into the smaller boxes used by Twin Shadows and Bespin Gambit and provides game tile storage only. If you have all content, you need two of these.
• IMP-003 - this solution is designed to store the content from Return to Hoth and wave 5+ small expansion figures. Only this solution provides a dedicated tray to store the large hero sheets.
• IMP-004 - this solution is designed to store the content from Jabba's Realm and the small expansion minis from wave 8+. This insert was initially designed for Jabba and includes storage for the Rancor, but has been enhanced to allow it to be used with Heart of the Empire. The main change in all IMP-004's sold now is that you have the option of building one of two different token tray designs (one for Jabba tokens and one for Heart tokens). Only IMP-004 solutions purchased after October 21, 2017 contain the two token tray options.
• IMP-DIV-001 -this divider kit provides additional etched dividers usable across this line of inserts for those inclined to divide their class and item card group as efficiently as possible.

Imperial Assault Box Sizes

Across the Imperial Assault game and expansions, there are three unique box sizes:

• small - Twins Shadows, Bespin Gambit, and Tyrants.  We produce the IMP-002 insert for this size box and it provides map tile storage only.
• medium - Return to Hoth, Jabba's Realm, Heart of the Empire.  These boxes are all the same size, however, Jabba and Heart each contain a very large mini that requires an insert that is taller than the box, causing lid lift.  Therefore, for this box size we recommend IMP-003 for Return to Hoth and the IMP-004 for Jabba and Heart.
• large - base game.  Our IMP-001 is designed for this box.

Etched Dividers

The dividers in our storage solutions for Imperial Assault contain etched abbreviations to assist with the categorization and storage of various cards.  The following table defines what each etching stands for.  Keep in mind that all etched dividers are not present in every kit.  Each kit supports the cards noted in the description.

Product Notes

• This insert is constructed of HDF (wood product) and is natural colored. HDF does not contain a wood grain as it is a constructed wood product.
• Insert assembly requires some wood glue and about 90 minutes of assembly time. I recommend Sobo Craft glue or another comparable quick setting, tacky glue.
