I have a two deep case and my players go in sideways....I cut the foam to allow me to slide them in without laying the prongs down or anything touching the prongs. Less guys fit that way, but the team is snug and secure! I have overflow....but that still works out.

Yes, I have seen FrustratedFinFan's case, it is one I spoke of being modified, they are a good price, but you do need to work it as FrustratedFinFan mentions to protect your player prongs.

Thank you Shabby J for the detailed pictures


For what I see, we certainly can do something re-cutting the inside foam the way I spoke before (make 1 "slot" with 2)...


since if I choose Miggle case, I'll have to do some "mac gyvering", I have to go in town to see if I can find something cheap how can do the same job.


thanks to all for your help

You can also find in craft stores and in large fishing supply stores/catalogs, big flat plastic boxes with square cells in which a based up player or two will fit into quite nicely.

the problem is that the figures and bases will be "shaked" in, since there is no foam inside that type of boxes ?

I have seen many of these cases where foam, felt, other padding was added to limit movement and they work rather well.

good idea....I've got plenty of old carpet to do that job...Now I have to find boxes, it will be easy.

I'll see that tommorow, I'll go to the hardware store to see if I find anything. If the price is too expensive, i'll go for a miggle box.


thanks
