Greetings Fellow Dice Fans!
About a month or so ago, as Mr. DDK and I were strolling around Wal-Mart, we happened upon some tiny boxes. They were cute, compact, and appeared to be the right size for cards and dice. I picked one up and instantly knew it would hold a full team of cards and dice. Mr. DDK was unsure, but when you’ve worked in a gaming store as long as I have, you just know these things. We decided to buy one and test it out. There were lots of colors and I wanted them all, but I wanted take one home and give it a good test run.
The handles snap over the extended part of the lid and all the boxes I have snap fairly tightly. I wouldn’t suggest throwing a loaded box as it would likely come open and spill everywhere, but dropping it on a table probably won’t cause a spill.
Colors (top to bottom): Purple, Berry, Blue, Mint, and Clear.
Team Box
We arrived home and I loaded up my current team’s cards and dice into the tiny box and snapped the lid into place. It was glorious. Not only did all ten cards and action reminder cards fit, so did all twenty character dice, eight Sidekicks, six Basic Action dice, an extra D6, and my pony life tracker. I went back to Wal-Mart and bought the remaining colors.
Here is the team box and its future contents.
Sleeved cards fit nicely in the box.
Sleeved cards will take up a little more space than unsleeved cards.
After the cards, the dice go in! And so does my Rarity life tracker.
The lid fits perfectly, even with dice forming a second layer.

These make great demo team boxes. Each team fits perfect into one box.
They stack perfectly too.
Or you can slide your team box into your dice bag, if it’s big enough.
Mine fits snug in my smaller bags.
I love these boxes for demo teams. I put together a Batman Family team and a Deadpool team as demo teams. Each box holds all the cards, dice, an extra D6, and the dice bag. And because they’re in such an awesome little compact box, I now have more space in my tackle box. I can also keep these boxes in my car with my spare playmats, so I always have demo teams on me without needing to tote my entire duffel bag everywhere. And since these boxes are clear, I can easily see what teams in the boxes without having to open them like I would a deck box, risking a spill.
There are plenty of uses for these adorable boxes. Stickers seem to take well to the smooth plastic too, which is great for someone who loves to sticker their boxes – like me!
FAQ
These are the questions that I’ve been getting from my locals. My locals absolutely love these boxes too!
What are the dimensions?
Roughly 3.5 x 4.75 x 1.5 inches.
Where can I find them?
I found all of mine at Wal-Mart. I’m not sure where else these can be found in person, but it appears that Amazon has them too. I found another site that also has these same boxes, called Classroom Direct.
How much are they?
Amazon is super overpriced and definitely don’t go through Wal-Mart’s online site either! I would only use them if it was a last resort! I got all of mine for $1 each at Wal-Mart. It looks like they are normally $1.23 when not on sale. Classroom Direct was the cheapest online site that I found for them.
What other colors are there?
There are the colors I found and I think there is a reddish-pink one and a green one out there in the wild somewhere.
Bar Codes
If you take the bar code to your local store, they can probably tell you if they have it in stock or if they can get it.
Final Thoughts
WizKids – this a great example of how you can package a Team Pack and get the max number of dice for each character in it. I know it works – I did it.
For anyone out there that carries around demo teams or extra loaner teams, I would highly recommend checking out these boxes. There are so many other uses outside of Dice Masters too, so if you find something you like better or just get tired of the boxes, you can easily find another use for them. And they’re so affordable, it won’t make you cringe if you do replace them later. I’ve definitely gotten my $1 worth of use out of all of them, likely ten times over already. Functional accessories are the best kind!
There are even smaller boxes than these that I use to hold my HeroClix Relics. I’ve used it for almost a year now and it was only $0.88! I never knew there were boxes that would accommodate Dice Masters.
This is my Relic Box for HeroClix. The figures are to help with size comparison.
I’ve got a brief video on my YouTube channel that shows just how easy these are to pack, unpack, and use. Be sure to check it out!
What do you think of the cute, tiny boxes?
Do you have a unique accessory or an accessory you adore?
