What're the best miniatures cases around?

[Green Knight]

Sorry if I'm posting in the wrong forum, but I couldn't find a more appropriate forum for this question, so I figured I'd ask here.

I've got a nephew and his cousin who both collect HeroClix and want cases to carry their miniatures in, so I thought I'd go looking for a case for them to get. However, I'm not exactly all that familiar with the cases out there. So can you folks help me out?

I'm looking for a case which already has spaces cut out in the foam to put the miniatures in, which're big enough for the HeroClix bases as well as the all the figures of various sizes (Giants like Atlas or double-based figures like Ghost Rider), and which can fit a lot of figures. So does anyone here know of a case which is cheap and fits the bill? Thanks.

CHessex cases are pretty nice, but not super cheap. Most of the hobby cases I can think of are too expensive for plastic minis. A good solution is to buy a couple of pistol cases and cut the foam to fit your figures.

I picked up one of these (see url above) at my local builder supply center for about $15. It works great for D&D minis. Not sure about HeroClixs.

For plastic minis, tackle boxes are generally your best bet. The minis are tough enough that their is no need to wrap them in foam protection.
