I use metal toolboxes I've padded with leftover foam. Working with
computers, I get a lot of leftover foam padding...

They're sturdy, most are lockable. My padding level is not
total protection, e.g. I can't safely turn the container upside down,
but 
it's enough for transportation in a car. Good to carry.

Plastic ones could be used too. I just like the metal ones, as they're 
usually even cheaper and their shelves tend to be sturdier.

Bad points:

Heavy
Lots of work
Not very compartmentalized (extra work)
Only the bottom shelf is good for anything above cruiser size.

I would love to buy something like this, done professionally for 
miniatures. But I've yet to see anything good enough.
