question for people using Miggle carry cases

[Taylor]

I have a miggle carrying case, but obviously I haven't had to transport my figures anywhere.
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 ), 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

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.

I play at a high level. I can't afford to have my highly tweaked bases altered. This will happen with this case because the foam is too tight and when you place a player they are in tight and it affects the prongs.

I tried for a year using the case but I can't have my safeties damaged and before each game I found myself frantically trying to fix players who ran perfectly before I put them in the case.

You will have to modify the case which means it will hold less players. The players also need to be laid on their sides with plenty of room to avoid the brushes (Reeds) being damaged. You should never stand your men up while storing. The weight and the twisting and turning of the reeds during travel can cause permanent damage to that player you spent so much time tweaking. Unfortunately, the Miggle carrying case seems designed for players to "stand" while stored.

Again, I am not trying to discourage you from buying. I am just letting you know that you will definitely have to modify the case to make it work for you.

I have a case with an old school iron man squad in it, I will try to take a pic or two tonight.

[the french guy]

I'll see the pics tonight to make my decision, reading for your advises too. We'll see


I think on week end I'll go to hardware stores and stuff like that to see if I can find a better way to store my figs.

@Sweetka : you're saying to not stand the figs for storage. so if I understand correctly, you place them on their side, in big cases (so the figs can move freely) ?



thanks
