You might want to ask this question over in the Die Casts and Collectibles forum. There are some heavy duty collectors there and could probably give you some leads. I use curio cabinets for mine. Good luck. :seeya

I know the company that makes the angled mirror cases.
They also will make any custom config you want.

I need to check at home to find the name as I can't seem to find it off hand

Custom Display Cases http://www.customdisplaycases.com
24" H X 48" L X 4 3/4" D, 5 shelves, 4 5/8" H
(1/18 scale, holds 10 cars) $210

Above is an example of the angled case.
I have several of their cases. What I like about theirs vs most others is they make the case with the entire shelf length OPEN. Everyone else uses the eggcrate or compartment shelves.

My first case from them was a custom job. I ordered the 2x3 ft 1:18 case with 1:24 shelf spacing. I wanted to put my NASCARS in at an angle so I needed the added depth. WOrks great for 1:43 cars too. You can't do this with the compartment cases.

I like em. Check out the site and decide yourself.

Any case is better than no case to protect your cars !!

Got a little different display case on e-bay that might be looking for an inexpensive one; holds up to 8 promos or similiar.
