I thought since other folks were doing it, I would post pics of my current US collection and how I am storing them.
First up is my Consular with a Diamond controller, which is currently set in SRD. I love the feel of this saber, and I chose it over a few others I was considering due to the ability to change both emitter and pommel with mhs parts and use this for both Jedi and Sith cosplay characters. I ordered it with the nickel finish and a white illuminated AV switch.

Consular in Sith mode, shown in BR with a Dark War Glaive emitter, and a Renegade LE small pommel:
Next up is my Flamberge v2 with Diamond controller. I love this hilt, and with a smaller modification again I can use as Jedi or Sith due to MHS pommel and emitter capabilities. The small mod was using a Renegade LE side blade extension on the Flamberge v2 as a extension to the main blade so that larger emitters clear the crossguard structure. I then added the three emitters from a Renegade LE. I haven’t taken any pics yet with differing emitter/pommel configurations, but I will add pics as I find configurations I like. This picture is of the saber in VA.
Those are my main sabers. I also have my two mystery box sabers, a crimson scorpion (no claw) with lite obsidian sound and a stunt Liberator v3, both in fire orange. Only modification here was adding a different pommel to the Liberator. I am thinking about adding a second liberator and quick release coupler and turning that into a staff. We’ll see how that goes. Consular is shown in SRD and the Flamberge is shown in AB.
For storage, I took a Plano rifle box with pluck foam and use that for storage/transport. I’ll have to have multiples/figure out another storage and travel option of my collections grows much. I tried to leave at least two rows of foam between parts as I didn’t feel one layer was stable enough. Where I have one layer with the blades is not very stable. This case holds my sabers, some parts, 3 x 36” blades, and my side blades for the Flamberge. I also store the original Flamberge emitters (which are tiny) and a couple of spare pommels under the sabers as I have the sabers on pieces of foam used as risers so they are easier to remove from the foam.
