Alright guys, I found these awesome makeup cases at Target. I think they were on sale, so look for them soon. They're in the cosmetics department, obviously. They come in various looks, such as leather black, a lace pattern, and a stripe pattern. They have various different internal finishes.
They are called the Caboodles Cosmetic Organizers. They have a site called Caboodles.com

I have two different sizes. The cases lock with included keys. The larger, more expensive one is not as long as the smaller one. These come in even smaller sizes, too.

They open like this. You fold out the trays as shown, which reveal a large opening in the bottom. This opening can hold additional organizers, boxes, grip shooters, etc. As you can see, mine has a wonderful purple internal finish. Perfect for me!

The larger one has little elastic bands on each side of the opening top, which can hold various things like winders and parts containers, or even a right spin shooter if you position the prongs so it closes properly.

The smaller one does not have these bands, but it is longer to accommodate a winder. You can easily make your own holder for a winder with some creativity and super glue. That's what I intend to do.

The trays open out like this.

The larger one has wider trays, but they are all the same depth. They can hold most Beyblades if they are placed in the tray upside down. My combination uses an SG Metalball and a short type bit chip, so that will give you an idea of how deep they are. Taller Beyblades can be stored in the upper trays, which allow you more clearance. You might want to be creative and construct something to keep those ones from shifting too much, though. Don't keep small parts in the upper trays because they do not close together like the two lower ones do. If you keep any very small parts such as bearings, I recommend keeping them in a small plastic bag or another container within the case.
The first thing I will advise you to do is not buy this if you're just planning to toss all of your Beyblades inside carelessly. This case is nice, and it's for a player who values their parts and wants to keep them clean and organized. You'll be better off with a shoebox or a cheaper fishing tackle case if you're careless. This case is sort of like what a nice handbag is to an army-navy store tote.
These cases are pricey, though. The large ones I have here are 40 dollars new. There are smaller ones that would work well for an HMS collection that are available for 25. I think this case is worth more like 30 dollars, so you might want to see if you can find something similar or wait until this one goes on sale! They're elegant looking and look nice in a room, they have a nice internal lining, and they appear to be durable enough. They are large enough to hold any tournament combo set, and possibly entire collections depending on how into it you are. It will not hold all of my plastic combinations and parts, but it will hold all of my HMS parts.
Be careful with how you organize things inside. Things will stay in their trays as long as they are not small enough to slip in-between the trays when you are carrying it. The trays may expand slightly if you allow it to tip over, releasing small objects like bearing shafts and maybe even spin gears. I have not tested this. The upper tray gives room for spills, so use it wisely to store larger items or glue additional walls to the trays to keep them from spilling.
I love them. Just don't abuse them. Be careful, keep them upright, and don't slam them around.
