Mini-fig clear display?

[thetang22]

I know this isn't very "on topic" with the history section, but I didn't see any others that were obviously appropriate...and seeing as how the history section is the only one I really ever visit...here goes.

I'm looking to get a custom minifig as a gift for a family member this Christmas. In doing so, I'm hoping to get a small display case for it as well...like what is seen here:

I'm trying to see if there is anything available in the US that is comparable to what is shown here. Does anyone have any advice on where something like this may be found?

Thanks

ME Models sells 4x4 and 6x6 versions.

Thanks, but holy crap that's expensive for what it is! I always considered Firestart Toys to be pretty darn steep, and their's sell for about $2 right now...compared to the $16 that site is asking.

At closer inspection, that's for a pack of eight... although it's apparently not available right now (although it should just say it). But still, that's $2.00/each. The 6x6 ones are available for $12 - for a four pack, so $3 each.

I understand you may not need more than one, but the prices are not really out of line for what you're getting. There are other options, though, and you can check ebay.

You can also buy other containers and do it yourself, like these ones that I used that are admittedly not nearly as nice:

You can also buy baseball or softball size display cases from the container store and build up the display you give your family member.

I saw such a container in Dulles, near Washington D.C. Good luck!
