Display cases on sale at Michaels

I end up not even using the coupons in the news paper.  When you buy something there they give you a 40-50% off coupon on your receipt.  Heck, I go there with my mom, I buy one item, she buys my other, I give her the money we both use a coupon, double 40% off

Yeap, I do the same. I give one coupon to my son and I get 2 x 40% off. If my wife is around, we all go armed with coupons.

Check Michael's circular in your local paper, or check their site, but they have a constant 40% discount on most items, every week, including the display cases.

I use the football display cases (that's a pigskin for you foreigners, not a soccer ball) for figures.  They're built pretty nicely, if a little flimsy, with wooden frames and a mirror in the back wall of the lid.

The basketball display cases looked like they could take a tiered inset, too.

You need to check Michael's on a regular basis; they often change makes/manufacturers that they carry, but it's always worth looking, to see what they have on hand.

I actually could find none when I went today...  Did spend 25$ though.  Got pastells, some oil paint, plaques for bases, and a crap load of balsa strips for building buildings for dios.

He got that right... Hobby Land and Michaels sell many display cases in different sizes from baseball to football to basketball.  They have a great selection for models too just like one below.  I bought few for no more than $5 each and it really helps keep my models free of dust.  It is just a temporary until I get a bigger dispay cases!

I've got with the extra coupon this acrylic case for less than $10. My PT Boat fits like a charm in it.

Nice looking Case at a very attractive price.

That is a GREAT coupon!  Thank you!  I've already printed it out and I know where I'll be stopping after work today.  

Enjoy it my friend. The case has 3 clear plastic discs in it that you should remove to fit your model in. I peeled mines off with a kitchen knife. The tank in my picture is standing on top of a piece of black foam board. I'm planning on adding ''sand'' to it. That way I won't mess with the case bottom floor.

its already hard enough to spend money at michaels... Last time I went they had little 5x7 wooden plaque bases for 1$ each, bunch a bunch of furture dioramas.

What kind of display cases? pics?

I was looking for a picture on their site but apparently they don't have it, so here its mine. You can turn the turret in it about 30 degrees. Now, if I could only find a cheap case like this for my upcoming project, Trumpeter's 1/350 USS NIMITZ

HA! Same here... I bought a small diomara case as Hobby Lobby was offering 50% off on all cases last week.  I am so glad Hobby Lobby is only five miles away...
