Woot! I found a cheap alternative to overpriced display cases at LHSes. For the price of one "good" case, I scored three from Daiso, a "100 Yen store" in my area,

I didn't bother measuring the dimensions in inches but it should fit....
-most passenger cars 1/24 and smaller
-smaaaaall 1/72 aircraft. i think the biggest it could handle would be a heinkel 162 and perhaps some cold war era jets with rediculously short span wings.
-just about any 1/72, 1/48, and some 1/35 armor
-virtually any small japanese "trading kit"
list of stores outside japan (http://www.daiso-sangyo.co.jp/english/storeinfo/storeinfo03.html)
If anyone else here knows of any sources for cheap cases, online or real store, feel free to share!
