hyejinx1984 Posted August 5, 2007 Share Posted August 5, 2007 I went to six, count that, SIX different stores today that specialize in crafts or office supplies and I could not find a single decently sized plastic tray or display case with several compartments that are the right dimensions for a minimate to stand inside. You'd think that would be the easiest thing in the world, but I looked and looked. I know there's another thread here with people showing their minimates in these kind of plastic containers, to add to my frustration, I now can't FIND that thread, so if someone could tell me where you people BUY these things, please let me know. I wish AA would just release a multi-compartment display case for minimates already, everybody wants it. ARRGH!!! Waste of my morning!

hyejinx1984 Posted August 5, 2007 Author Share Posted August 5, 2007 *digests* OK, I kinda want what you're doing here: except, I want mine to lay flat not be a standing display, so I can stack multiples on top of each other. And I need it to be 11x11 inches so it fits in a specific place in my room. Uh, if I can't find something like that I swear I'm gonna get a costum one made... but where do you get costum little plastic storage containers??? *suppresses hulking out* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have some nice boxes that have about the same size compartments as the cases I have but on a much smaller scale. The other thing to look at are fishing tackle boxes as they seem to work well for minimates, not the prettiest of display options but small and usually stackable. T.

I use them for my extras and it keeps things nice & organized. Another option would be something like this storage chest. It has multiple drawers and you can stack one chest on top of another to expand your storage options. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tpugmire Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 TBT, where did you get those cases from? I've been searching and found similar cases, but not the same ones you have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Vox Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 I'm a bit embarrassed now... zip lock baggies and shoe boxes hold my collection. I've moved a couple times in the last few years so I have been hesitant to get into a big display but those tackle box stackable things may fit me just perfect.. Looks like I'll be hitting Sears soon. This forum rules. Vox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reideen1313 Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 While we're on the subject, do the 1:64 display cases fit Doc Ock ok? I mean without bending/touching his arms. I'm working on setting up a shadow box with my blanks/prototypes/etc and Doc Ock is just too fat to fit the box I have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MINI_MYTE Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 If you're looking for something smaller and stackable, check out my cases in this link. I bought these at Wal-Mart for just under $5.00 CDN. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vox Not to worry I keep mine in soup containers. they have a nice closing lid that snaps shut. but back on the subject. why not try a spice rack from bed bath and beyond. surprisingly they work pretty well and are not to expensive.
