Careful when you put it on the shelf, you might wanna put a soft cloth on his head so you don't bump him on the shelf.

The cases are expensive..I got them from:
CASESFORCOLLECTIBLES.COM

They are well worth it but I can only buy a few a year!

Hey Averone (and others), not sure where you are in WA but have you looked into TAP Plastics? You can get acrylic pieces for relatively cheap, and even if you have the store glue the pieces together (opposed to doing it yourself) I think it'll be cheaper than casesforcollectibles. I personally haven't bought anything from them yet, but when I was comparing prices for acrylic cases I believe there was a substantial difference.

Just something else to think about.

Those were $130.00 each at the time. Im not sure what the charges are now.

11x11x22 Acrylic Boxes.
The 22" is how tall they are.

So last night I started to install my TOMBO doors on my bestas. Im having some problems though.

When I finished installing the doors I noticed that they were on somewhat crooked.

I only installed 2 doors - one on top of the other - but when looking at them, the side with the hinges looks to be set higher than the side you open up. Kinda like it is sagging. Looks like it is slanting downward.
This caused some issues for me cause the doors were rubbing against each other when closing and also creates a gap between the doors where the hinges meet.

I looked at some photos on this thread and it looks like everyone else has them installed on there pretty straight without much of a gap between the doors.

What am I doing wrong? Any tips?
Anyone else have this problem when putting the doors on?
I can try posting a pic of it tonight when I get home so you can see what I am talking about.
