Hey guys,

I would like to find clear plastic boxes that can hold 1 transformer. the only thing I can think of that is similar is those crazy Beanie baby boxes that people put the valuable ones in.

I know i will need multiple sizes.

Anyone got any ideas on where I can find something like this?

I have seen the Beanie Baby ones on ebay, but I am trying to find what would work best. I did not know if anyone placed their Transformers into boxes, or just had them on shelves or what.

thanks, maybe someone else will know exactly what I am looking for.

several hobby/craft stores such as Micheal's has display frames. The one that I found fits a G1 box. In terms of any other display cases, I have not found any of those.

If you're looking to display them in alt mode, maybe some of the cases that hold the NASCAR vehicles or cars and whatnot would work? You could probably find them on one of those websites, or at your local flea market...

Great idea, mainly, I am looking for a way to protect them in the box I keep them in. I cannot display them proudly, because my 4 year old would want them.

thanks

I've seen cases like these in K-B Toys where they keep the die-cast
1/18th scale cars.
Hope that helps.

You can get several sizes of clear acrylic cases. Ultra Pro
card boxes work well:

Hasbro reissue Prowl


Also smaller ones accommodate mini-cons:

Mini-cons

Leader-1 is in a golf ball holder and the cylinder is for a baseball.

They sell them in larger sizes for things like footballs
and other large sports equipment, even for baseball bats. They would
look good for the trains or even a line of mini-bots, I think.

You can find them online I'm sure, or you could check out a local
card/hobby shop. They are relatively inexpensive for the smaller ones but get pricier the bigger you go.
Hope that helps.

You should be able to find them at your local card shop. They are designed to store baseball cards.
