Inexpensive model cases: Plano 1404

[Brass Scorpion]

It's been a while since I"ve been able to find these cases in WalMart, but from what I can tell checking some local WalMarts during the past week in Maryland this massive chain store is again carrying the Plano 1404 Pistol/Accessory case and it's still only $10. The two stores I checked out stock two cases at a time and automatically restock within a few days. I bought 2 today at the Quarterfield Rd store and 2 more at the Arundel Mills WalMart in Maryland. Each case is great for carrying 5 or 6 standard sized Imperial Guard or Space Marine tanks and will even hold 2 Baneblades side by side. I also carry my Armorcast Warhound Titan in one with 3 different arms. I believe it's also practical to replace the foam that comes in the Plano 1404 with the figure slot foam GW sells for $20, giving you a pretty good $30 case for small figures. Bass Pro and Dicks Sporting Goods also carry the Plano 1404, but it's usually $20, twice as expensive as WalMart though still cheap for a miniatures case. The Plano 1404 has good sturdy latches and hinges and is pretty durable. I've had excellent luck with the many of them I've used for several years now to supplement my GW, Army Transport and Battlefoam cases because the 1404 is easily adapted for carrying a few larger models, saving more expensive figure slot foam cases for the smaller miniatures.

So, if you need some inexpensive sturdy cases for carrying your army's armored support you might want to see if you can scrounge some these Plano cases where you can find them. Pass this along to your friends in need!
