All I can think of for right now.
If you're going to be living out of a hotel room and moving around a lot, I would recommend buying one of These and packing it up. Practice living out of that box before you leave.
There's an art to travelling light. If you'd rather not join the Army to learn all the little tricks, the least you can do to prepare yourself is to do a "shakedown run" on all your gear. It takes a while to figure out what you really need and what's just nice to have.
There's three major things that you'll need to have in control before you go:
Good luck, you're in for an adventure.
Collapsible crate on wheels something like this.

These.
I know you mentioned you didn't want magnetic, but the magnets on these bad boys are pretty strong. I haven't had an issue with them falling after people place the glass on it when getting filled up. I also have a sign on my fridge door with "tips on pouring your beer" that mentions not to do this to help prevent that. It's worked so far!

So here is my setup. Different container but same idea.

These are also good if you don't have drip trays to begin with. Easy mounting and they don't slip at all (I have two that span four keezer taps). Just put a paper towel inside and replace and clean as needed.
I got mine here for $93: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00Y3IR5M6/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_pYJ5Bb4WWFBD6
Amazon and Harbor Freight have a slightly different one available for $80, but I prefered the design and size of mine over it...
Here is a link to the alternate model on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0069KALB8/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_P0J5BbJF90BDM
Even though mine was slightly more expensive than the alternate model, to me it was worth it. Mine is more like a "jewelry box". The alternate model looks more like a "tool box". Mine is slightly less tall and has smooth round edges. The alternet is taller, chunkier and has sharper edges. One of the complaints that I read about the alternate model is.. Although it has two locks, one for the top and one for the front, they lock keys do not match... Mine does not have any locks. Rather, it has a very nice metal "clasp", which when twisted, holds everything closed. Overall, either of these boxes would be great for storing your gadgets and gear. Again, I simply prefered the design of the one I picked, over the alternate model.
Also, mine didn't come with a mirror (a real one would come with a mirror)... So, today, I added a mirror. I used a 3" concave x20 power mirror, a magnet, a washer, and some double-stick tape, so It's removable. All from Walmart for around $10.
The removable concave mirror is not intended to be used for vanity. Rather, it is to be used as a magnifying/inspection tool... When held properly, it can be used just like magnifying glass.
EDIT: I bought some houseplants today, to keep it company 😊
I live pretty close to a grocery store but when I know I'm getting something heavy (laundry soap, big jug of OJ, etc.) I take a little folding cart like this and this.
They're light and fold down small so easy to carry to the store and don't take up a lot of space while not in use.
These are in a pouch in my backpack everyday. I carry them in this and they come in very handy.

-Lufkin Mini 10’ Tape

-General Tools scribe

-Craftsman Magnet pen

I also hate stuff in my pocket, and though I sometimes carry a small bag (Maxpedition Remora), I don't always want to keep track of it. I've recently started carrying my most vital stuff in this belt pouch. I never imagined myself as a belt holster kinda guy, but it was so cheap I figured I'd give it a try, and I love it!
I keep my phone, knife, wallet, and keys in front pockets, and everything else in there. I modded it a bit, removing the ugly side loop, logos, and key clip (I wanted it sleek and low profile), and added a magnetic button fastener instead of the noisy velcro, so it closes tighter.
Oh God, yes, one of those clipboards with internal storage is a must. I have a plastic one, made by Dexas (like $6 at Wal-Mart) and a heavy duty aluminum one.
The pens that have 4 colors in one can be a lifesaver.
Get tons of index cards for making flashcards.
Get a bunch of those little post it flags to mark important passages in texts.
No-bleed, possibly erasable highlighters.
I also got a mini portable scanner. It was a lifesaver in the library.
You mentioned a new backpack. Depending on how your days work out, you might want to consider something with wheels. I'd avoid the rolling crates like this. They always fell apart on me.
I wound up amassing SO MUCH loose paper, I needed tons of binder clips and paper clips to keep it organized.
A mini stapler can be a godsend when your prof hands out 10 page unstapled packets.
I just got the rigid set, although I have not set it up or used it yet. It's on sale at home depot, if you get the bottom 2 the top one is free. All 3 cost under $100.

(Don't spend this much!)
Weekend warrior here, I use a Stanley work box. Available at Lowe's. Cheaper than a proper road case, lighter and has room for tools.
An older version of this one: https://www.amazon.com/Stanley-037025H-Gallon-Mobile-Chest/dp/B000Q5LZT4
But, I got it on sale for $20ish off. Bit more professional than a tote.
I use a magnetic tool tray I found on Amazon. They come in multiple sizes, so you should be able to configure something fairly inexpensively to fit your needs
https://www.amazon.com/CMS-Magnetics-Magnetic-10-75-Organizer/dp/B01MZ54HLM/ref=sr_1_3?crid=2UPZE86P4JIYQ&keywords=tool+tray+magnetic&qid=1565036510&s=gateway&sprefix=tool+tray+mag%2Caps%2C136&sr=8-3
I use toolboxes to store my collection for similar privacy purposes. This is my current toolbox and these are the locks I use on it. If you need a slightly smaller and cheaper box I would also recommend this toolbox and this lock as I had used them in the past. Best of luck!
Sturdy step stool ($40) - not the rickety tubular kitchen chair ones, I mean one where you can stand on the top. a Buy it for Life item, not inexpensive, but safe. https://www.amazon.com/Louisville-Ladder-AS3002-6966014-2-Foot/dp/B00182TWL2
Leatherman multi tool (around $50), which i keep in the junk bowl because I can never find a screwdriver fast enough. Pricey new, less expensive when you buy it second hand or in a pawn shop. they don't really break, but you do have to clean and oil them once a year. https://www.amazon.com/LEATHERMAN-Wingman-Multitool-Stainless-Steel/dp/B005DI0XM4/
Cordless drill (under $50), mine basically has the screw driver bit in it 90% of the time. the rest of the time I drill lots of pilot holes. pay attention to the battery... if you can get one with a battery that is shared by other tools in the line, then it is easily replaceable and if you buy another tool in that line you can swap batteries. I like to have 1 battery in the charger and one in the device. https://www.amazon.com/BLACK-DECKER-Cordless-Driver-BDCDD12C/dp/B0111N8L7I/
Spirit, bubble or torpedo level. (under $10) the Hanging kit usually contains just the wires and hooks, but you need a small spirit level for hanging pictures and shelves evenly. doesn't matter the brand they all work the same https://www.amazon.com/WilFiks-Leveling-Resistant-Different-Visibility/dp/B07M62GJYP/
Small tool boxes vary in quality. I don't know if this is for you or someone else. But don't buy anything unless it's a NAME BRAND, cheap metal tools bend and can break with too much torque. Even the Stanley line that Walmart sells isn't fabulous, but it's better than a nameless brand. I don't like SETS of tools, but you need to start someplace, buy GOOD tools one at a time, I love finding $$$ tools at thrift stores. https://www.amazon.com/STANLEY-94-248-Piece-Homeowners-Tool/dp/B000UHMITE/(i bought a cheap socket set 4 years ago to replace my stolen ones and they already have rust)
Bucket organizer. (around $15) If you buy a SET of tools, take the plastic blow molded container and put it in the recycling. You will never bother putting the tools back in and when you get more tools they won't fit. Bucket Organizers are pockets that fit around a 5 gallon bucket. You shove your tools into the pockets and everything else in the middle. And keep it in the bottom of your closet and carry it to where you need the tools. https://www.amazon.com/Bucket-Boss-10030-Bucketeer-BTO/dp/B00GK4TOWK
Tack Hammer. (under $15) You won't need a big 22 oz hammer, but a smaller 16 oz one with a normal handled and then a Tack hammer, these have a narrow head and sometimes are magnetic and hold the nail in place. Tack hammers are easier to use for hanging things exactly where you want them. https://www.amazon.com/Stanley-54-304-5-Ounce-Magnetic-Hammer/dp/B00002X1XD
Stud finder.(under $20) uses a battery, and lets you know where the studs are behind drywall. BEST PURCHASE EVER. https://www.amazon.com/Upgraded-Stud-Finder-Wall-Detector/dp/B07VLDTVFQ/ any brand will work fine.
Digital Infared Thermometer (under $20) Non-contact Digital Laser Infrared Thermometer Temperature Gun - ALSO BEST PURCHASE EVER... works in the kitchen for food and oven temp, fridge temp, and for locating drafts and cold spots around doors and windows. https://www.amazon.com/Etekcity-Lasergrip-1080-Non-Contact-Thermometer/dp/B00DMI632G
Toilet Plunger - the sort with the extra bit on the end. https://www.amazon.com/Get-Bats-Out-Plunger-Bathroom/dp/B00ODD5MD0 you do NOT want to be waiting around for someone to unblock your toilet. It may be disgusting but scoop out some of what's in the toilet before you start plunging, it's less disgusting than having to mop it off the floor. You want the plunger that makes a seal around the bottom.
BUCKET. (under $10) mine is constantly in use, i keep it in the tub and toss wet things into it. I have gone through EVERY TYPE on offer...I was so sick of plastic buckets, that warped and stained, where the handles ripped out. But the BEST and cheapest one I have ever found is a flat back duraflex bucket for watering horses. Not kidding. Made of a hard polyethylene these things are designed to be flung around and stepped on by 2000 lb animals. https://www.amazon.com/LITTLE-GIANT-Flat-Back-Dura-Flex-Plastic/dp/B000HHLHPS/ these are cheap if you buy them in a feed store, but even with the shipping on Amazon it is WELL WORTH the money. You will need a bucket when you empty the back of the toilet tank to change the flushing flapper or gasket, and you will need it when you empty the commode itself, if you have to change out the wax seal underneath.
Blanket hangers. (6 for $27) yeah this is obscure, but when I moved I lost a LOT of storage space. These saved my sanity. I use them to hang up quilts and sleeping bags in the back of the closet OFF SEASON. I also use them to hang blankets, sheets curtains and stuff once they come out of the laundry aren't quite dry. I didn't even know there was such a thing before now I wouldn't give them up. https://www.amazon.com/Stock-Your-Home-Comforter-Organization/dp/B00EUG51JU
Flashlight. ($30-50) I've written about these before. Until I bought a GOOD one, I had no idea how bad the others were. Cheap flashlights are great to have scattered about in the cellar, or in the junk drawer. but if you really want TO SEE, get a great flashlight. I gifted myself one for christmas one year and I love it. It hangs by the door and if I am going to be out very late or the weather is bad, I shove it in my bag. It will also illuminate Well past the end of the porch and into the yard if I hear a noise. https://www.amazon.com/Pelican-Carded-SabreLite-Flashlight-Yellow/dp/B01CKAIYV4 any very good brand will do, but I found Maglites to be dangerously useless.
I have a bit of a 'tactical' backpack where I subdivide things into pouches like these and little zipper bags like these

Here they are on Amazon. I bought mine at the local WalMart. Hold plenty of locks and are nicely stackable.
If you have space for it, something like this is great for sorting and storing all your small parts.
All I can say is if you're not willing to undertake the Herculean task of accurately and completely labeling everything, don't put stuff in boxes. Open-faced bins can work for some things, but generally, if you can't see it then you won't use it, and if you won't use it then why are you storing it?
Granted, there's a few things you might actually want to store long-term with no intention to use, but that should be a vanishingly small percentage of your stuff. Put those in some sort of hard-sided water resistant bin/box, and not cardboard. Less bug infiltration, and less chance of being ruined if something happens. These things should also be as awkward to get at as possible, such as on high shelves nearly at the ceiling. The less of often you need to access it, the more annoying access can be, such as requiring a ladder.
Your goal here is to maximize vertical space utilization and at the same time minimize the amount of "I have to move this thing to get to that thing." If you have to actually pick up and put something else down elsewhere before you can pick up the thing you wanted to get in the first place, you're doing it wrong.
If you have some woodworking tools, nows the time to break them out. Even if you don't want to build the shelves in the first place, that's fine. Those big garage shelves you can buy at the store are a great start, but the shelves tend to be way too tall for most things. So building smaller cubbyhole-like shelves won't take a lot of material but you can put them on the pre-made garage shelves and let you use up all that extra vertical space while not just stacking things in piles or shoving them in boxes.
Your ultimate goal here should be that you can stand in the middle of the garage and identify every single thing currently stored in the garage without taking a step. You probably won't reach the goal of 100% identification, and that's fine. Just shoot for as much as you possibly can.
An alternative, for the enthusiast, is the Fatmax Large. I've got one. It's cumbersome, it's large, and when full, it's heavy. But it can hold 16 decks.
The people at my LGS use a few cases like this. I can find the exact one they use the next time I see them if you would like.
Here is my attempt to answer a super open ended question in case someone is searching. Someone let me know if i missed anything.
Affordable/Tough/5 Year Warranty
For cheaper versions i will mainly recommend Husky they are decent and they fall under a 5 year warranty which is usually easy to have honored.
Personally if i am doing something quick at home i like waist aprons instead of belts. You can get them for real cheap like under $1. There are the super basic ones like these from menards that cost 84¢ and have 3 pockets. but my favorite is this one which has 13 pockets and two hammer loops.
If you are just doing stuff at home or just need a handful of tools at hand then small pouches are your best bet. Something like this 9 pocket pouch from Husky can hold a surprising amount of stuff for only $10 you can upgrade to a larger single pouch for $20. All These black tool aprons/tool belts come with a 5 year warranty from husky.
For carrying lots of crap and actual work you should get the suspender set up. The Husky does have some ok stuff such as the 13 pouch electricians belt and the 17 pouch carpenters belt. Make sure you move the hammer holder to the side or jogging down the stairs will make your hammers handle hit you in the balls.
Fancy/Real Leather/2 Year defect lifetime stitching/rivet warranty
Occidental Leather Work makes some awesome Made in America Leather tool belts. They have a two year manufacturers defect warranty but will replace burst stitching or rivets for lifetime of the belt.You can find these at local supply stores but they are not carried in big box stores. You can use their website to locate a local supplier. I will be using Amazon Links for these because prices at local supply stores will be all over the damm place also it lets you see reviews but check your supplier it will probably be cheaper local. Remember these are natural leather products so you will have to maintain them. You can follow the links to check reviews but they all seem to run around 4.5/5 stars or better. Get a size bigger than they recommend its a common complaint
These tend not to come with the suspenders so you will have to buy them separate. They go for around $110 online.
The tool bags themselves vary a lot in size. You can also buy bags separate so you can customize it to a certain extent and they tend to for between $250-$300. The large electrician belt set goes for $285 and the framers belt set goes for $288.
The separate pouches go for between $80-$110 such as the Drywall pouch for $84 and the Fatlip tool pouch that runs about $110
Fancy/Modular/Painfully expensive/ Lifetime defect warranty.
Diamondback Toolbelts is a Made in America of 1000D Nylon in 3 layers so its very durable. They have a lifetime warranty from defects of any kind. Much like Occidental Leather they are not sold in big box stores. They do have their own online site but you can also look for local sellers using this but there are not many.
These ones as well tend not to come with the Suspenders which cost between $40-$115
So the neatest thing is that you can build your own tool-belt on their website. It allows you to pick whatever various pouches you want.
They also have trade specific toolbelts. Such as Drywaller belt for $425.00, Master Finsher Carpenter for $420.00, Ultimate Framer for $440.00, and the Electrician for $430.
Accessories
A very good idea is getting suspenders. You can use brand specific ones or just grab some cheap ones from Home Depot or Menards just check reviews. The padded ones though will save you some shoulder strain if you are a punk ass bitch who wants working shoulders at 50 like me.
I also highly suggest getting a drill holster. Its exactly what it sounds like and makes life so much freaking easier. These generic ones cost $10, they are ok and color match Husky brands but the clips kinda hard to work. They also have brand name ones like this Dewalt one for $15, they also have Occidental Leather ones for $42.00 and Diamonback drill holsters for $65.00
You can't go wrong with the Stanley click and connect tool box. I have the main tool box $13 on Amazon holding a small Plano case for tokens and all large and medium ships. Then two stackable boxes holding small ships and squadrons. My upgrade and shipyards are all in a binder.
The best part is you can keep stacking and large ships will even fit in the small boxes off their stands. Could not recommend enough. Oh and the trays in the lid I use for speed dials, command dials, dice, damage deck, and whatever other tokens I feel like.
The only issue I've had is the toolbox on Amazon did not come with any dividers of its own for some reason, maybe at Home Depot it will. It didn't affect me much because I needed some dividers out of the small boxes to organize the squadrons the way I wanted.
Currently have two of every ship and squadron pack.

He says the extra bonus is that it doesn't draw a ton of attention, so he finds it safer to carry around.
All credit goes to Onyx Lego Storage. S/he took the time to make these labels, unfortunately they're in .CDR format (Corel Draw) and a lot of people might not have that software. Since they were free to download, I downloaded them and PDF'd them to make it easier for everyone else. If you're an organizational freak like me these will come in handy! They're sized very well to be used on drawers like this

I can't help with the 18" figures, but for smaller figures (figma/revoltech/figuarts) I've used these with great success. Tackle boxes can also work great, especially for loose accessories.
Took me a couple years to finally fork over the cash for these but you wont have to worry about buying another set for at least a decade and they are badass http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B005Z5BFYU/ref=mp_s_a_1_4?qid=1425828468&sr=8-4&pi=AC_SX110_SY165_QL70&keywords=occidental+electricians+tool+belt&dpPl=1&dpID=41TPr9NrCRL&ref=plSrch
Well, not the exact same as OP. I own these https://www.amazon.com/Stack-SHB-16-16-Inch-Multi-Purpose-Steel/dp/B000I0WL6I/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1518934908&sr=8-5&keywords=metal+tool+box
I live in a pretty humid place, especially in the summer. I use one of [these]

I'm renovating my house so I don't have any pictures but my brass goes in clear plastic storage boxes after they have been decapped and cleaned. I also include anti-tarnish paper to keep them nice. Bullets get thrown in bags with an anti-tarnish strip then placed in these http://www.amazon.com/Akro-Mils-8212-Stacking-AkroBins-Hardware/dp/B00002NB5I . They are the same thing you get with the hornady lnl ap. I then label them and hang them on the wall.
How about these [leathercraft bags] ( http://www.amazon.com/Custom-Leathercraft-1100-Multi-Purpose-Zippered/dp/B0002YVBC0)?
By far the best storage solution for someone who brings their collection on the go is the Stanley STST14027 SortMaster Tool Organizer! This case is super sturdy and durable- and each case will interlock with another, allowing you to stack them, so they won't slide around!
My Experience with these Cases
I bought 3 of these about about 6 months ago and I've been so happy- I have every figure currently out (sans Green Arrow :( ) and I've only filled 2 boxes so far- Which means I have plenty of room for next year and anticipate I won't have to buy a 4th. The case is deep enough that every figure can stand straight up without any problems - and you can fit 4 figures per-middle box with each having enough room- you could probably fit 5 but one figures disc most likely would overlap another. This style is so deep that every vehicle and items can each stand perfectly straight up- (with the exception of Nya's mech Suit, which i keep in 2 parts.)
Traveling is so Easy!
Travelling is a breeze as they stack on top of each-other and basically lock into place, the plastic is very thick and sturdy- I've dropped the case's before and the lid's stayed secured, the figures may have been shaken up- but with the dividers it's a breeze putting them back in place as each divider keeps only a small group.
How I've Organized- So far!
With 2 Boxes full - I currently have one case as my "A Team" full of my most used/needed vehicles, nearly every character (Box 2 has a few "repeat characters" I seldom play with), and all the items that are specialized and needed (I.E. Ghost Trap, Arcade Machine, Companion Cube, Sentry, Scooby Snack) I keep just a few characters in the 2nd box and use that mostly for the vehicles that I don't use.
TLDR- This case rocks
IMHO this is much nicer than those really small boxes- or even LEGO's "official storage case" for 3 of them I paid roughly 25 dollars- looks like they've gotten popular and are selling a bit higher currently at $12, so you could have a really sturdy system which holds every figure from this year and next for only 36 dollars.

Alternative Cheaper Solution
If you want- to save money you can buy the size that has a shorter depth- but you may have figure's or vehicles who are too tall - which is why I recommend the depth of 3.4" size over this 2.6"- but you could probably buy 4 of the 2.6" for around the same cost of 3 of the 3.4 inch deep size I have. As it looks like're priced just under $10. I wouldn't recommend going any smaller- as even this size has smaller sized dividers- which may cause problems.

Assuming it's an English saddle, it'll fit in one of these trunks. They have a lock and I think they're cheaper at home depot.
I unfortunately have a super tiny bathroom so my stuff is relegated to a small basket on a shelf. However I would suggest going off the beaten path. Machinist tool chest are designed to hold delicate machining tools. They look wonderful and are super practical for something like a razor collection. Check them out.

My experience with plastic totes from my move proved to me the larger surface area, the more likely it is to bow and bend, and since most plastic totes are not made to withstand the pressures of water, I was afraid the 10g one I had would bust. After 30 mins of driving and my passenger seat getting SOAKED since it was nearly impossible to seal, I just put everything in to buckets. MUCH easier.
Of course this works a lot better with smaller fish. I know you have some larger ones, and I'm not sure how well they would do in buckets, or how big a bucket you could find...
I will say, when moving our koi and larger catfish, we used 55g foot lockers. They're sold at walmart and were fairly cheap, but they're made to take a pounding. Some are made to carry ammunition, and those are the ones you want! (it's what we got). They held up great for a 6 hour drive, and I now have two 55g quarantine tanks. :)
It was basically something similar to this
For my tokens i use a hardware sorter/holder. The dividers slip out and they are about $2-3.
For figures/minis battlefoam is awesome, but can get pricey. I used a Stanley stackable toolbox from amazon for a long time. You can store any terrain/larger models in the top* and then buy the ones that stack under it for trooper units/small base vehicles. I'll try and find a link from my old order.
Edit: found the part that stacks under the toolbox. The product line is Stanley Click and Connect.

I have a 28-inch Stanley FatMax toolbox: https://smile.amazon.com/Stanley-028001L-28-Inch-Structural-Toolbox/dp/B000KN470Q
It's long enough to fit all that kind of stuff, and heavy duty. You can put more weight in it than I care to lift, and you can stand on it no problem. Lowes sells them if you want to take a look at one.
I devote an entire closet to my tools. And another closet. And the floor. And the hallway. And the garage. And my car.
I recommend one of these.
I use plastic bins from "akro-mils" on amazon. Here's an example. They have in like 328473 different sizes. They also sale a rail that you can screw onto your bench so they hand from it. Super handy. Have all my bullets and smaller parts separated out and when I use them I place it on the rail.

I don't know about the one you linked but I use this.
Zak Tools Low Profile Key Ring Holder, Black, Fits 2 1/4" Duty Belt https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00JF69NI0/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_pRdVBb1J9VR1N
It works perfectly for me.
That's beautiful! I have a very similar storage system, with a much less expensive piece of furniture. It's not easy to find something like that.
If OP wanted to go the cheap route, Harbor Freight sells a wooden tool box with green felt-lined drawers for ~$80 that would look okay and hold a lot of watches.
I'm pretty sure it's this same one:
http://www.amazon.com/Eight-Drawer-Wood-Tool-Chest/dp/B0069KALB8/
The one I saw in the store looked pretty nice - for the money.
Ridgid gear cart, for the middle box I have the ventilated version that I think has been discontinued. I use a Voodoo padded bag for my rifles.
Fat packs boxes usually do the job. They can hold up to 3 decks fully sleeved in dragon shields. And you have room to fit your commander in a top loader at the side. Satin Tower are pretty good and sturdy but if you constantly carry all your decks with you, one satin tower for each may take some space and add some weight in your bag.
Dragon also has a plastic box that is able to fit some decks in it and are stronger than a fat pack.
My dream is to have one Stanley XL fatmax organizer to hold my decks
Akro-bins (NOT the clear ones) are probably the best bet BUT do you NEED to keep the stuff or is it more of an in case of.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000189CSM or https://www.amazon.com/Akro-Mils-8212-Stacking-AkroBins-Hardware/dp/B00002NB5I
Plastic isn't going to hurt your toy, however if you don't let it dry off entirely before you put it inside the bag your probably going to run into some trouble.
I go a little overboard, but I have a lot of toys.
I store all my stuff in this guy THE TOY BOX
I wrap each of the toys in this THE WRAPS
I put a bunch of these in the toybox to snatch up any extra moisture and to keep my toys from getting really nasty and moldy/mildew. [The no mold safeguard](http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0025OO8DO
/ref=sr_ph?ie=UTF8&qid=1421962870&sr=1&keywords=silica+gel)
And lastly I clean my toys using this The Cleaner
I have over a grand in toys in this thing though, looks like a toolbox so nobody really thinks...."there's probably dildos in that thing" and it's really heavy duty I mean this thing can take a beating like crazy so during travel and such I don't have to worry about rough handling of it. Also it can be locked with a padlock to keep nosey people out. The only downside is that it's watertight but the silica gel will dry up any moisture that gets in.
For work as a police officer I use the Zak tool key holder for my patrol keys and flash drive etc. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00JF69NI0/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_apa_i_hfYZDb3ZY9118
For daily use I use the nitize s biner ahhhh. It's a great bottle opener as well as key holder. Makes taking keys off and one really easy.
I DIY'd a ghetto fabulous padded case out of one of those stash boxes that look like a book and some memory foam I got from my work. It ain't much, but it keeps 'em safe and dry and I can keep my collection in plain sight w/o my GF threatening to kill me. Ultimately this is what Im going to invest in, a legitimate man jewelry box.
About this size? http://www.amazon.com/Stack-On-DS-60-Drawer-Storage-Cabinet/dp/B000KKUSYS
I might get one... or two...
So I found this at Walmart and bought 1, then got more from Amazon and Toolbarn.
STANLEY STST14022 SortMaster Junior Organizer
Amazon Link: $8.79 includes Prime.

It's actually gone down in price since I've bought mine.
I have all the LEGO Dimension waves. All the characters fit in 1 case plus a couple vehicles/accessory.
Then the other vehicles/accessory go into 2 more cases. There's room to spare for Wave 4 and 5.
The cases clip on to each other and you can keep stacking them to keep them together.
Pictures here: https://imgur.com/a/ulVsO
Stanley makes different sizes of these cases but I found these ones are the best one since it fits most character's height. (some with tall weapons you have to fold down).
I too started with large plastic bins. I started with clear ones that had moisture proof seals which were nice. Now I have black ones in all different sizes. I've separated them into specific bins (like interior bin, exterior bin, misc tools bin). But my dream is this sweet setup from Ridgid. The bottom bin is the right size for polishers, whereas the smaller two bins are great for towels or pads or chemicals. Being able to roll it in and out of my trailer would be nice too. My advice is to get black bins. Being able to see inside the bin when it starts to get a little messy doesn't look very professional.
Don't sort by color, that will cause madness. I have a combination of small parts bins and IKEA Helmer drawers.
Also if you plan on getting bulk lego get a sorter, the box4blox works worlds better than the lego brand one.

I use this style of case myself, but know a lot of con-goers who swear by these.
If it's the weight that's starting to give issue, I think the answer is "anything convenient that has wheels on it."
It's just a steel tool box you can probably find at Home Depot. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B000I0WL6I/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1411707427&sr=8-1&pi=SX200_QL40 sorry if the link doesn't work, I'm on mobile. My brothers is similar, except his is silver and a bit bigger. He uses a lock to make sure no one gets into it. You can't smell a thing, not even when your face is right next to it.
I use these click and connect organizers. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00GSNB886/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1495372777&sr=8-1&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=stanley+click&dpPl=1&dpID=41Hu2H0fLEL&ref=plSrch Lid is very secure, I have about 50 points and plenty of room for more, plus all the templates and assorted stuff along with it.
This is really the best/easiest option.
RaspberryPi 3 ($43) + Raspberry Pi Camera (~$20) + 2ft ribbon cable ($7) = $70
OctoPi (Free)
One writeup: http://3dprinterwiki.info/wiki/wanhao-duplicator-i3/computer-software/octoprint-on-raspberry-pi/
A cheaper option is to buy a cheapo wifi camera that works with iPhone. (~$20) Connect your printer to your PC and use something like TeamViewer to remote from your phone to your PC to control the printer. It's a multi-step solution but cheaper than RaspberryPi.
I use a Bucket Boss with a few of the stackable internal trays for a "house tool kit" It's been SUPER handy. Even holds my electric drill/driver. It lives in a standard orange Homer bucket. cheap, effective, and survivable.
I bought this rolling chest. It holds my 2 speakers, amp, chords, mics...easy to move around with the wheels, sometimes need a little help lifting into the back of my van.
I use this, works great, doesn't look the best but my keezer lives in the garage so i'm just trying to keep the floor from being sticky. I'd imagine you could put some sort of nice vent style cover over the open area to set pints without getting them dipped in beer.
Stanley FatMax Pro Organizer is what I use. Compartments hold double-sleeved decks, it locks, I've tested it out in the rain and nary a drop makes it in. It really is great.

These stack and the compartments are customizable as well as the front two compartments by the handles are the perfect size for cards.

You can also check out the flashlight holders on amazon too. THere are many to choose from there.
I bought one of these tool boxes when it was on sale at a local hardware store. Favorites or most frequently worn items go in the top. The rest of my stuff is sorted. I keep silica packets in the drawers to reduce tarnishing.
Thanks! I'm guessing I'll be able to find a similar style bin that's cheaper over here :)
Edit in case anyone else had the same question:
https://www.amazon.com/Akro-Mils-8212-Stacking-AkroBins-Hardware/dp/B00002NB5I
I have a fancy range backpack that I use when I'm going for a quick trip, but I use these for matches. I fill the bottom big one with ice and drinks, the next two with ammo according to caliber, then the others with my gear.
Like [this](Bucket Boss The Bucketeer Bucket Tool Organizer in Brown, 10030 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00GK4TOWK/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_fcOEDbVXJ1HXS).
I just kept it pretty simple and usually had a small tool pouch - similar to this:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0000DYVCX/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_nMOBDb218MCSN
I would keep a leather man, sharpie, some pens, etc.

Also added a few pictures of what I started smoking last night.
regarding the power supply I've read a lot about people having issues with third part supplies. I would just get the official one or one that has good reviews at least. Typically you get what you pay for.
This is what I bought, it came bundled with the RPI
Great point. I've been going through my bag a bit and reorganizing things. I've found that just by shifting things around, I can alter how the bag carries overall and can reduce bulk simply by organizing better.
I've been looking at some Maxpedition pouches that might be helpful in this area like the E.D.C Pocket ORganizer or a couple Custom Leathercraft bags or something more like the Eagle Creek Half Cube or a Quarter Cube.
Right now I just have a couple cheap Cumberland Concepts Zipper Bags from Walmart, but they work ok in a pinch and are something like $2-3 bucks each. When I get the chance I'm planning to upgrade, but haven't gotten there yet.
As for specific delicate items, Primarily, I have a Fenix L2D flashlight I don't want too smashed up, as well as a couple chargers I don't want too heavily banged around. I also occasionally carry around a DS Lite which has it's own case but shouldn't ride at the bottom of any pack.
Get an inexpensive non-divided plastic toolbox and pop a small combo or key padlock on it. This way you can select one that's right for your size needs. Obviously 10 bad dragon toys could potentially occupy a wide range of volumes when you consider their wide variation in size availability.
Example: https://www.amazon.com/Stanley-028001L-28-Inch-Structural-Toolbox/dp/B000KN470Q/

I got these https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0002YVBC0/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
They hold a variety of different things. I use the biggest one to hold documents/personal items. It holds my checkbook, some stamps, some envelopes, misc cards that I need for work. The medium sized ones holds my electronic stuff - cables, flash drives, extra batteries, battery pack. The smallest I keep snacks in - gum and mints/cough drops.
I also use this to keep documents in.

I spent less than 20 for everything, and they may not be as nice as the Tom Bihn stuff, but it is perfectly functional. I got everything for a 1/3rd of the Tom Bihn stuff. It all works great with the O-rings in the bag.
Let me know if you find any accessories that work. I am always looking at Tom Bihn alternatives.
I use something like this - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000KKUSYS/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_TK1Hub1B9KJAY

These are pretty handy: Bucket Boss
Not totally sure that's what you are looking for, but it holds a ton of tools, and hammers, catspaws, wedge bars and such stand vertical in the center bucket part so they are easy to see and grab.
https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B0052EEND4/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_img?_encoding=UTF8&colid=XJRD4HE7PZC6&coliid=I3H1YNM2XUSBJH&psc=1
This is what you want. It's just tall enough for figures to stand upright inside; removable dividers make it easy to fit any vehicle; and if your collection requires more than one container, they clip together.
Someone here had recommended them a while back, but I can't seem to find the link...
I've got two and I love them.
OH, yeah, these are the pouches I usually use:
https://www.amazon.com/Custom-Leathercraft-1100-Multi-Purpose-Zippered/dp/B0002YVBC0
I used to get them at Lowes or Home Depot, it looks like they sell similar bags under the "Husky" brand at Home Depot now. Klein makes a canvas version too.
The smaller size has my "I never want to use it" stuff (per my post) and another smaller one the snacks and stuff. A larger one has all the electrical crap, and another larger one holds toiletries. So there's 4 pouches in total, then the clothing gets jammed (rolled) into Eagle Creek Pack-It Cubes (original). That's usually 2 cubes. Regular stuff and Gym stuff. On the last trip, I went without the cubes at all, and it worked out fine. I got some of this stuff https://riptie.com/product/ripwrap/ from the company that makes it. I saw them at trade show in Amsterdam last month, and they suggested I could use it as a simple means to secure clothing rolls. I tried it out, and it definitely worked, but I'm not sure how long it will last. Will give it a try for a while and see what happens.
Have you looked at the bags currently available? That might give you some sense of how people generally organize their gear, and popular features/designs. I've been very impressed with the Noble Outfitters bags, and I know a number of people who have purchased new grooming totes just because the Noble Outfitters one is so practically designed (sturdy mesh bottom that allows all hair, sand, dirt etc to fall through. Grooming bags can get pretty nasty pretty fast.) I also think their high end line looks really good for the price. The Tally-Ho bags are a good example of more traditional storage bags, although most major retailers carry their own house brand (Dover Saddlery, Schneider's Tack, Smartpak would all be good ones to check out.)
You might also want to go to some shows in the discipline(s) you will be catering to, to get a look at what's currently being done. You can also get a sense of what the market will bear in terms of cost. There are a lot of expenses involved with owning a horse, and showing is pretty expensive in itself.
Horse people already have a whole set of highly specific gear to buy. Luxury type splurges in the horse world tend to have a very functional basis - expensive equipment sometimes does affect the rider and horse differently than the cheaper versions, so the cost is (sorta) perceived to be a functional thing, rather than purely a status thing. For example, expensive show helmets are a status symbol, but they're also generally lighter weight, with much better ventilation (so much less sweating), with all around better design.
It used to be a very high status symbol to have a nice, custom wooden tack trunk. And, in certain disciplines, in certain areas, I'm sure it still is. But people are mostly moving away from those lovely, expensive, furniture-like tack boxes because they're a pain in the neck to move anywhere. And barns are not really great places to keep lovely custom furniture - they're pretty rough environments.
The only people I know who still use the old tack trunks have had theirs for 20+ years. Most people use Stanley-type plastic trunks. And the smaller rolling tool chests, like this are fairly popular for traveling away from home.
Another issue that you're going to run into is that the people who have the money for this type of luxury item are pretty much guaranteed to be showing with their trainer and a professional groom. The trainer and the groom will have their own system for how they transport and organize equipment at the shows. So the horse related equipment is not really their domain. Rider gear bags are always pretty useful, of course.
Home Depot/Lowe's/lumber& garden supply stores have smaller belt mounted tool bags. I've always seen them in black, so it wouldn't be too obvious.

Personal question
EDIT: Stuff
Personally, I love this: Stack-On DS-60 60 Drawer Storage Cabinet https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000KKUSYS/ref=cm_sw_r_other_awd_Lk0IwbJFQ12HY for sorting small collections of pieces. Plus the drawers come out, so you could have authentic dumping action.
And I'd recommend being firm on sorting by piece, not color. It'll save so much time down the road.
For the remote I have this: https://smile.amazon.com/Zak-Tools-Profile-Holder-Black/dp/B00JF69NI0/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1503233535&sr=8-4&keywords=duty+belt+key+holder
For the key I have this: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B01L3N20IW/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
The magnet is powerful enough that I can just move the key to the general area and it will snap in place.
dewalt tough system boxes are a good start. dewalt also makes a racking system that holds the boxes on the shelves. I would bet that this is what your brother is envisioning. also Milwaukee packout boxes or ridgid tool storage boxes are other companies that make similar kits. I am guessing that this is the kind of stuff he wants for the "portable" boxes, but afaik of the three only dewalt makes the racking to go along with it.
Now if you want to get super bad ass then there are the sortimo systems, which has tons of box and racking options, but they are extra pricey.
Does he have a lot of professional bosch or festool tools? Because they often come in boxes designed to mate well with each other as well.
edit: here is a great writeup about modular storage systems.
Right now I leave it at home, but I'm thinking of checking at harbor freight or somewhere like that for a cell phone holder or a knife holder - something kind of like a holster that goes on a belt. Then going to strap it to the top bar. I don't need to vape while I ride usually, but if we ride to town or something I want to have it.

Thank you! For Armada I use this Stanley case for small-base ships and squadrons. Hopefully it could work for X-Wing too? Otherwise that Plano box looks like a good option.
Those acrylic movement templates look really nice. I'll probably get a set even if the cardboard ones hold up well haha.

If you're not gonna move it around it nicely perfectly fits a 1000 pc bag in each slot.
I've been using this Zak Tools keyring holder for a couple weeks now and I love it. It holds my keys really secure and all I have to do is grab and pull up when I want them. I chose them over other things like carabiners because it's just faster and easier to get at my keys this way. Plus, the simplest design that works is always the best design IMO.
I agree about the dehumidifier, but in the meantime check out a waterproof toolbox like this one. Should keep out the moisture pretty well I'd think. Maybe throw in a Damp Rid packet if you're still worried.
I bought the Maker Select V2 a few weeks ago, so I'll give you a dump of what I've bought so far:
MOSFET - You'll also need some 14 gauge wire, spade connectors, and something (like velcro) to mount it inside the case.
PEI Sheet - After going through tape/hairspray/glue this is what you'll end up wishing you started with. I bought some standard window glass from a big box store and had them cut it to size. I used the thermal pads at first, but I prefer just clipping it on. This way I can have 4 different glass beds to swap among.
Raspberry Pi 3 - OctoPrint is so much nicer than transferring the sd card back and forth.
Fan - DiiCooler or CiiCooler or a few others you can print out that are compatible with this fan (I think, I haven't finished printing them yet).
Y carriage plate - Not sure what the difference between this and yours is - I haven't installed mine yet).
MicroSwiss
Also ordered a couple rolls of Inand PLA from MicroCenter online.
haha I can't wait to see it. I just did a quick check as I don't have a microcenter near me and the Pi that you linked is in-store only. The local frys doesn't have any and Amazon seems to have the Model B for $12 more than your link.. I'm unfamiliar with the Pi other than a basic knowledge. Is there any reason why it's so much more expensive on Amazon than microcenter?

I bought this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01EW3QU22
I used something similar for X-Wing and I'm currently using it for Imperial Assault. There wasn't enough storage space for the larger ships. Basically, anything on a medium base or higher didn't fit in the lower bins but these look thicker so it could work.
Currently using, and would recomend: Stanley Toolbox
I bought four of these a few years ago: Stack-On DS-39 39 Drawer Storage Cabinet. They're not the absolute highest quality, but they're not bad, and certainly get the job done better than the containers I'd been using before. Two of them are devoted to Technic pieces, one is mostly for minifig parts, and the fourth is for miscellaneous small bits.
Thanks for the pic. Personally I don't use my sheath since it's so bulky and is not so fashionable on the belt. I ordered a multi pocket "thing" http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000CP0SSC/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I plan to cut it and make it fit in my pocket to hold my light, mini wallet, multi tool (possibly with drill bits), keys, and lighter. Hopefully this works like i plan.
I like having case gauges, sample rounds (to verify seating depth), and the case feeder parts in caliber-specific bins; it makes life easier. The [30210 bins] (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00002NB5I/) do this wonderfully.
I got a Stack-On 39 drawer cabinet (from Lowe's, I believe) that I really like. You can find them at lots of places:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B000HJBA1W/
They also make a cabinet that has 64 of only the small sized drawers, and one that has 18 of only the large sized ones. I'd probably prefer to have one of each of those rather than the combined one that I got, because I like to separate my 1000-piece variety packs of resistors or capacitors.
Additionally, you can find some vendors on ebay that sell 100-packs of small bags (often designated as for crafts or jewelry) very cheaply. I grabbed 100 2"x2" for about $2.50. I'd love some 3"x3", but they're not nearly as cheap, for some reason.
Either way, cut 3x5 index cards into eighths and use a pen to write what the component is ("0.1uF cap" or "3mm blue LED 2.2v 20mA"). You can put it in the bags or in the front of the drawers and it'll make stuff much easier to find. They'll also protect small wires/leads in your bags from getting bent so easily.
Its easier to keep your tools in a toolbox
