Protective case diecast toys

[Mr. Tie]

Hi guys,

I am new to this forum, but I have a question. I am looking for a protective star case to protect a carded vintage diecast Tie Fighter from episode IV. I bought it a couple of days ago but it came without any sort of protection. I have searched the internet for some protective diecast cases, but I can only find expensive acrylic cases. By ordering them I pay almost as much as my diecast Tie Fighter! Any suggestions? Thanx!!!!

Don't the regular plastic star cases fit them. I think the cardbacks are the same size as the figures. They only cost a couple of quid.

Hey you guys,

Thanks for all hints! But I am actually not looking for means to grade my vintage carded Tie Fighter. The acrylic case looks very stunning, but I own a vintage Canadian carded Darth Vader Tie Fighter in protective star case. Because the bubble of this Darth Vader Tie Fighter is much smaller than the regular Tie Fighter it won't fit. But I'm looking for a similar case that will hold the regular Tie Fighter. Mhhh.... sad case this is?

Ignore my comment then! Order an acrylic case from Ukg.

There are star cases for die cast MOCs, I have two but I have never seen them for sale. Die cast is really tricky as the card stock varies in size considerably - my Pal tie is a fair bit bigger than the Kenner ones.

I got a guy on here to make me some cases but to be honest, they weren't much cop.

Never had anything from UKG but they've got to be worth a go

Thanks again guys,

I will order one of those display cases at Ukg.

Cheers!
