Group;
In Nov I picked up a stackable display case for my 1/700 IJN Kongo. It came out great and I gave it as a gift to a friend. I paid about $9 at my LHS. Since then, they have not carried that size of case and my collection is growing and I need to store my ships. I checked all the on line sites I could find and found the same cases for $24-26. Really????? Are you kidding me!?!? That is more then some of my kits with aftermarket items.
I'm seeking some help to find another source or remedy for my situation. Any help would be great.

Hi Al, hope you are well. 
The photos of your IJN fleet are outstanding. That is a great collection. I have checked, and the sticker price is still getting me. I will keep looking and maybe come up with some other type of display case. I may have to go with a full display case.
I will keep you posted.

I use the display cases for the 1/64 18 wheelers for most of my builds.  Once you get into battleships and fleet carriers they are too small.
