I use Chessex boxes -- now sold by Alliance.  They hold about 80 25mm
figures, they are durable as heck, and they transport nicely.  In fact,
a
friend of mine lost most of his gaming material to a fire, and his
chessex
boxes were somewhat melted...but the figures inside (plastic GM space
marines) came through completely undamaged.  Okay, the white
shoulderpads
were a little browned by the heat...but it looked GOOD that way.

I know that a lot of folks use gun cases, but I've heard a fair number
of
stories about these cases being stolen out of locked cars by people who
thihk that they are getting a gun.
