I found, from an earlier discussion on this way back, that handgun cases
work *wonders*. I managed to pick up 2 of the larger handgun cases (the
ones that have 2 levels to them) before K-Mart stopped carrying them
(they
were selling for $11 each). They have foam on the inside (that you can
cut
to fit your minis, or not, at your choice) and the hard plastic exterior
will take punishment without affecting the ships/tanks inside.

Anyone know where one can buy these things cheaply still? Or will I have
to
drop in on a dedicated gun shop? (been avoiding those with the
impression
the cases would be more expensive there). I need 2 more at minimum
now...
