Unsure if people are aware, but Broken Token came out with their 3rd iteration of the PACG organizer recently. I assembled mine last night and am predominantly pleased with it over the previous iteration. It's gota nice wave theme that fits nicely with the S&S set I'm sleeving.
It's a tighter fit than the last version, which solves the biggest problem I had with the last one---that the alleys ended up too wide for the dividers. It was, in fact, so tight that I could not get one of the sides on. But that ended up fine because the dividers still fit tightly.
The big selling point they've added is that you can trim off the edges to fit a smaller box, if you wish. This is not a problem I have had, but if anyone else has, know that this issue has been solved as well.

Thrump, they were not available on Amazon for a while (I had recently looked). I didn't know anything about the new version but my guess is that they stopped listing on Amazon while they waited to get the newer version in stock. So you will probably end up getting the new version if you ordered through Broken Token via Amazon.

I have several of both 1st and 2nd version. They both work fine at home, but when I started taking them to OP, they got turned on their side (to fit in my bag) and bumped around (traveling in the car) and both versions then had issues with the removable dividers popping out of the slot.
Last week someone had the 3rd version and the 'shoulders' on the new dividers are wider (in addition to the style change). This means you can't place two dividers in the same position in adjacent rows, but they are also a whole lot less likely to pop out now.
So I simply ordered two sets of the new dividers - extra dividers for pacg organizer - for each of my existing organizer inserts. This works like a charm, my 1st and 2nd edition organizers are just as good as the new one as far as the dividers no longer popping out.

I definitely had the problem with the alleys being too wide for the dividers, which lead to much cursing on my part. However, before I upgrade to 3rd Ed, I'm'a see if maybe my sets will have a permanent home in various Pathfinder Adventure Chests.
On a side note, my fiancée just picked up her own Skull and Shackles (why do so many people pluralize "Skull"?) set and commented on how feather-light it felt. I pointed out it didn't have five more adventures, a Character Add-on deck, and sleeves in it yet.

Yeah, a full sleeved set plus the insert is definitely starting to weigh enough to be classified as an improvised weapon. Watch out for barbarians.

Heya, this is Greg from The Broken Token. I just wanted to chime in and confirm the changes in the last version.
We added the break-off tabs so the organizer will fit snug in all the boxes. The Rise of the Runelords box is what the original organizer was based on and they increased the size of the box slightly with Skull & Shackles and beyond.
Added decorative flair to the insert and dividers.
Added a fixed divider wall that spans across all card rows. This helps keep those long walls from flexing under the weight of the cards.
Increased the width of the divider tabs. As you guys already noticed, it was a trade-off between sharing slots with two dividers or having them slip out. The slipping was a major annoyance and felt this would be a welcome change.
Thanks again for all your support and feel free to write us with any complaints or suggestions. We'll never leave you unhappy with one of our products!
All the best,
Greg

Thank you for sharing the news Eliandra.
I've got another v2 organizer lined up for Mummy's Mask.
I solved the ally width problem by shimming some of the dividers using the scrap wood from the Broken Token insert. It works pretty well and it solve almost all of my problems with dividers coming loose. I'll see how well the wood glue holds up over time.
