This fast building, two (2) tray external solution can be used to store game components and minis. It was originally designed for use with Massive Darkness™ and can be placed inside the Kickstarter extras cardboard box from that or can be used externally, however it can be used with any game that requires a large, structured storage solution. This solution includes a lid.
CMON sometimes does not provide a high-quality box solution for Kickstarter extras, so we designed a solution that can be used externally or internally and with any game that needs additional structured storage.
This two (2) tray solution provides:
- an enclosure tray with a lid to store larger minis
- a removable tray to store smaller minis
Product Notes
- Insert assembly requires some wood glue and about 35 minutes of assembly time. I recommend Sobo Craft glue or another comparable quick setting, tacky glue.
- 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.
- This product is not officially licensed. All marks are the property of their respective owners.

What Do You Need?
Massive Darkness™ is a really big game and it has tons of minis. It is unfortunate that CMON did not provide a quality box for many of the Kickstarter extras as this would have allowed us to collapse a full set of the game + expansions into perhaps three boxes. As it stands, if you own add-on content you will need some of the smaller solutions and will need to use the smaller boxes, in addition to the base game box. Our guidance follows:- If you own just the base game (retail), you should purchase 1x MD-001.
- If you own the base game (Kickstarter including the KS extras), you should purchase 1x MD-001, 1x MD-003, 1x MD-005, and 1x MD-007 and possibly MD-008. The MD-008 provides etched name tabs for all heroes and monster classes in the expansions, including the Kickstarter content.
- Alternatively, if you own the base game (Kickstarter including the KS extras), you can purchase 1x MD-001, 1x MD-002, 1x MD-003, and 1x MD-007 and possibly MD-008. This alternate approach means you will be storing your class pads and player dashboards in a small add-on box and not in the MD-001.
- If you own everything, you should purchase 1x MD-001, 1x MD-003, 1x MD-004, 1x MD-005, 1x MD-006, 1x MD-007 and possibly the MD-008. If you want to increase the number of enemy minis you can store in your base game box, you can also grab an MD-002, but you will need to store your player dashboards and class pads in one of the smaller add-on boxes. If you have bridges, chests, columns, and doors, you will find spaces to store them across the various inserts.
Note: you can optionally store all of your KS extras in 1x MD-004 + 1x MD-005 + 1x MD-006, instead of 1x MD-007. This solution uses the smaller add-on boxes and the MD-006 will cause ~11mm of lid lift in the smaller Troglodytes, Ratlings, or Elementals add-ons boxes. Further, this solution will require that you store the Nightmare Thing and Overseer minis together. This approach also costs more than just grabbing an MD-007, but it does have the advantage of using all but one of your smaller boxes.
- Beyond the two choices above, consider that the MD-001 solution handles the base game and includes etched name tabs for all heroes and monster classes in the base game. The MD-007 handles storage of many of the Kickstarter extras. Our MD-002 offers two additional trays usable in your base game insert. If you use the the MD-002 you will need to store you player dashboards and class pads in one of more smaller add-on boxes. This may cause lid lift in the smaller boxes (Cockatrix, Tusk), if you don't have one of the taller small boxes (Hellphant, Spearmaiden Cyclops).The MD-003 insert is usable in either the Sorcerers vs Lord Tusk or Noble Warriors vs The Cockatrix add-on boxes and stores the minis from both of these add-ons. The MD-004 insert is usable in either the Bloodmoon Assassins vs The Hellephant or Warrior Priests vs The Spearmaiden Cyclops boxes and stores the minis from both of these add-ons. The MD-005 insert is usable in either the Elementals, Ratlings, or Troglodytes boxes and is designed to store the minis from Elementals and Troglodytes together in a single box. The MD-006 insert is usable only in the Reptisaurians box and is designed to store the minis from Reptisaurians and Ratlings together in a single box. Finally, the MD-008 provides etched name tabs for all heroes and monster classes within the expansions and Kickstarter extras.
Note: if you own everything, you can't just grab 1x MD-001 and 2x MD-007s to store your entire collection. The MD-007 is not deep enough to store many of the larger minis present in the small add-on boxes.
Solution Matrix
This is a complex offering with a ton of content, so here's a table that may help. As you view this table, keep in mind that you will never need more than one of each model below. Most of the solutions below allow you to collapse two add-ons into one a single box.| MD-001 | MD-002 | MD-003 | MD-004 | MD-005 | MD-006 | MD-007 | MD-008 | |

Table Notes
- Base + KS Extras #1 - this approach utilizes the MD-002 to provide more minis storage in the base box. This removes the need for the MD-005, but does require that you store your class pads and player dashboards in your remaining small add-on box and there will be some lid lift.
- Base + KS Extras #2 - this approach stores your class pads and player dashboards in your base game box, but requires the addition of the MD-005.
- Base + KS Extras #3 - a customer has reported that he managed to fit the base game + Kickstarter extras into just the MD-001 and the MD-007. Keep in mind that this required a little ninja storage skill, but it is possible. This approach does require creative thinking and uses storage areas in ways that we did not design for, but based on the images he shared with me it looked good and does save you needing a couple of smaller boxes and extra inserts. If you find you are unhappy with this approach, you can always add one or more of the smaller storage solutions later; they ship for ~$6 in the USA.
Zombicide: Invader
What Do You Need?
We have three (3) products to meet your storage and organizing needs for Zombicide: Invader:- ZI-001 - the ZI-001 is designed to be used in the Invader box or the Dark Side box.
- ZI-002 - The ZI-002 is designed to be used in the Black Ops expansion box.
- MD-007 - this is a universal storage solution initially designed for Massive Darkness because CMON did not provide high-quality boxes for Kickstarter extras and expansion content. The MD-007 provides an open storage concept with room for items large and small and is an external solution.
If you have retail:
- Zombicide: Invader Retail - 1x ZI-001
- Zombicide: Dark Side Retail - 1x ZI-001
- Zombicide: Black Ops Retail - we used Black Ops as an overflow box given the low component count in the box. Our approach requires that you have either Invader or Dark Side to store things like dashboards and map tiles from Black Ops.
- All-In: if you bought one of everything, you need 2x ZI-001, 1x ZI-002, and 1x MD-007.
- Civilian Pledge only - 1x ZI-001, 1x MD-007.
- Soldier Pledge only - 1x ZI-001, 1x ZI-002. You won't be able to store more than nine (9) dashboards in this solution.
The MD-007 provides overflow storage for additional groups of minis, the bonus Driller Abomination in the soldier pledge, and other things such as additional player dashboards, extra tokens, etc.
We encourage you to check out the images for the three designs. It will help you understand better how everything goes together. Groups of minis can be stored in various boxes based on your preferences, but some larger minis have specific places as noted in the build instructions.

This organizer is designed to fit inside the Massive Darkness KS extras box and it works perfect. (Own a 2nd copy that’s we use wih MD)
This is also offered as a storage solultion for Zombicide Invader, but the KS extra storage box for ZI is much smaller, so this storage box must be used on its own, which looks very plain and sticks out like a sore thumb on a shelf.
So I did a simple make over:
Instead of throwing out the core game’s cardboard sleeve for the mini trays, I cut the different sections, glued them to the lid, sides and bottom, used a black marker to fill the empty spaces and then Modge Podged the whole thing to seal it.
Now I think it looks great on the shelf!
Oh, and it has a ton of space for up to 4 player boards and those extra abominations and other stuff!

I fit all my KS extras in this box and all the extra heroes, including all the heroes from the expansion boxes. Helps me organize all that content and the name tags are awesome! I highly recommend getting the name tags (MD008)!

Refer to my review for MD-001. I was able to breakdown 3 expansion boxes and incorporated it in this insert. So happy with it.

This is a great product for storing the many boss monsters from the KS. I LOVE that they chose to make their own box. I would have preferred it was a little bigger so it was the same dimensions as the main box rather than having it fit in the cardboard box but not a big deal.
Currently I store the orcs and the small bosses in the top tray. At some point I will be migrating the heroes to that tray as well.
However, I would really prefer two of these to the pile of small boxes I have to truck around. This could have been done by making the top tray into a 2/3 tray and a 1/3 tray. Then the larger base bosses from the expansions (reptisaurus, spear maiden) could be accomodated by omitting one vertical divider as well as all the extra heroes, ratlings, etc. We would even have room for trays and character sheets. I would stagger into my friend’s house (he has the table) with three similar sized boxes instead of two big boxes and a pile of little ones.
I would also have liked some wide dividers that would span between two rows. Currently my orcs are in long columns which is ok but I would prefer wider, shorter rectangles. Minor quibble.
It is still fantastic for KS owners. I recommend taping the list of base numbers to monsters on the lid. The MDF material is great.

This can be used free-standing, but I recommend it as a way to fill the KS plain cardboard box. As a build, it’s not as difficult as MD-001 but it has a difficult part of the build (which I got wrong). The one F piece in the bottom assembly is easy to get in the wrong place, in which case the top tray won’t sit level on the bottom assembly. I recommend building the top first and then putting in the G and F pieces without gluing first to make sure you have F in the right place. I got it wrong and had to take a Dremel tool to the nubs to sand them down.
Other than that, I had no problems with the build, though I would punch out the little tiny holes before assembling the pieces (they are for name plates if you have them from MD-001). Also I would recommend caution when selecting dividers from the pieces not shown in the instructions. There are a LOT of different divider types that go in the various slots in the bottom assembly which look similar but are not. Don’t use glue till you really understand which dividers go in which row.
If you put this in the KS box you may not need the lid. If you do need to use it freestanding, you have to really be sure nothing rises to the top of the compartment or the lid won’t fit. Note also that the lid fits tightly and can be difficult to remove. I’m also wondering if over time it would get loose, which is why I like it better in the other box.
Anyway, in combination with MD-001 and MD-004, I can hold nearly all my kickstarter stuff except for the Reptilian boss though it is tight. I ordered another box insert that holds the Reptilians and the Rat people in the same box and with that new box, the four boxes should hold everything securly.

I picked up this component and was able to fit all of the KS Extras (the Lightbringers’ Box) with plenty of room to add the Troglodytes box, Sorcerers vs Lord Tusk, and Noble Warriors vs The Cockatrix. While not as efficient as saving space as the core insert, it makes up for this with flexibility.
