question for people using Miggle carry cases
 

Hi,

I'm still searching for a good carry case solution to carry my team (with bases).

Making my own will be quite expensive (foam + box) comparing to a ready to use solution (especially with the stron Euro : buying in USA is often more interesting than buying in my own country...it certainly explains a little the french economic situation :D ).

So I think I'll buy a dedicated carry case or two (since I will give a team for my brother christmas, it should be a cool gift if I can offer him the team painted in his own carry box).

Since I will make an order soon in Miggle store (essantially for bases), I 'm looking for the cheap solutions Miggle offers so I can combine the shipping cost to my country. I know I can find stuff on ebay for example (warhammer cases, etc...) but if I can save money and buy everything in one shop...it should be nice (not speaking of the fact I'd support the EF business).


So I searched on the forum for information : someones says that Miggle boxes can't accept figures+bases, other says it works...On miggle website, we can find 2 carry cases, big and smalls.

If I understand correctly, the figs are carried standing ? Remember that I use exclusively (for the moment at least) FF.net figures to make my teams : are that cases big enough for my ff.net big men ?

Miggle is speaking of 2 teams and 8teams capacity : I guess they 're speaking of 22 figures capacity (little box) and 88 (big box) ?


I'm confortable with cutting and other DIY stuff : if the Miggle cases are not good for my purpose (= carrying safely my FF.net teams including tweaked bases), do you think I could easily modify the case to fit my needs ?

If anyone using these products could make me pictures and give explainations, it should be great thmbsp$





Thanks,

Work Great also Dimitri

or games workshop case - works great for my son's teams - thinking of it - I need one for myself.

thanks, but...
 

I know that warhammers cases are good :


:D in the worst case, I'll certainly buy one (not warhammer because gamesworkshop are too pricey for me, but a wargames dedicated carry case), but if I can save a little money on shipping and buy everything in Miggle... ;)


Anyone is using the Miggle carry cases products ? :confused:

I agree the Warhammer case the best available without any adjustments.
But if you want the Miggle case , you can maybe trim the cutouts more to fit your figures with an exacto knife. I know the Miggle cases are alot cheaper.

thanks for the answer :)


It's what I was planning to do. I was wondering if anyone here has already tried to modify a Miggle carry case to that purpose :confused:

I have a miggle carrying case, but obviously I haven't had to transport my figures anywhere.:D
The miggle case looks very cool and they are good for storing your unpainted players. I have no idea if the case affects the prongs tho.

perhaps you could make pictures of it (with figures and bases, so I can compare) so I can see if a modification is possible ?


thanks

Any picture of the miggle case inside with some figures (ff.net or other big ones +bases mounted) in/on it would be very appreciated. The point is to see if as Mc Gyver (my all time favorite american hero :D ), I should be able to make something with it.

Think about it :

buying some foam and a case here in france : 20euros (about 30USD), then cutting the figures "holes"

buying a warhammer case, including shipping : 45euros (!!!)

buying a miggle big case : 25dollars (17 euros, I don't count the shipping since I plan a future ordering for bases), then make the standard "holes" bigger (with xacto knife or cutter).


The unknown point is, without pictures, I can't see if that modification is possible.


Thanks ppls$

I honestly have never seen anyone with one of Miggles cases, I think that is why you are having a hard time getting an answer.
