And another one for my 1:1 Scale Brandon Lee / The Crow

Nice cases! I've tried contacting some places in Sydney to do custom work but the prices they charge put me off.

I'm looking for clear plastic cases for some of my TF boxes. Like the ones you see that are AFA graded. I hate the shelf wear & damage to the boxes every time i move them around the house.

Indicative prices would be helpful.

Any assistance is much appreciated.

I meant AFA style plastic cases, not display cabinets.

Good luck with selling your display cabinets.

Polycarbonate is seriously strong stuff, I think it's fairly scratch resistant but it is also not particularly cheap. you could probably find someone who can manufacture custom boxes for you.

AFA sell their cases on eBay. I've bought a couple - one for a G1 Megatron box and another for a G1 Scrapper MOSC. Megs was about $50 from memory (and another $50 for shipping), however this was several years ago now. It fits like a glove as one would expect. IIRC the eBay ID is cgcases or something similar.

As 5FDP mentioned, AFA sells cases. In addition to eBay, they also have their own site. Their webform is user-friendly and will inform you of the cost if you need to customise a case when no in-stock case is suitable for your toy.
Prices are reasonable, between AUD $25-$40 for a custom case, from my previous purchases. Custom cases are made exactly to customer specifications, and as long as you measure the dimensions correctly, the case should fit your toy box like a glove.

One word of warning - shipping to Oz is very expensive, and IIRC I paid as much for the cases to be shipped as for the cases themselves.

you can alway try this out...it not bad ....
