[QUOTE="Snaketibe, post: 457481, member: 7379"] If you send a MOC in a Star Case you can carefully pack out the case with padding (I cut a piece of tissue paper to size around the bubble to protect the card's litho, then use custom cut foam pieces to fill out all the void space in the Star Case. Carefully do this on all 5 sides of the bubble without crushing it). The idea is to protect the bubble and support it during transit so that if the figure rattles about inside the bubble, it stands far less chance of punching through the bubble. It's far harder to pack out an acrylic case in the same way (and impossible if it's sealed in an AFA / UKG prison), not to mention that if any dust or dirt gets inside the acrylic case, cleaning the inside of them is bloody awkward. Also, Star Cases have some flex to them and are far more forgiving of knocks and bumps than acrylic cases are. But in essence, you are trying to prevent this from happening: http://www.starwarsforum.co.uk/viewtopic.php?t=5371&start=60 [/QUOTE]
