If you don't like the case, the coolness of the name definitely makes up for it. I'd get it if the interior wasn't so...girly? But it doesn't look that bad considering it's a makeup box.
Fabulous Caboodles Makeup Case Review (56k Warning)
For me, I don't care how girlish this looks, but there's too much space in the box that the parts inside would get shifted in. Maybe if walls were added it'd be nicer, but the outside is nice.

To be honest with you, I'm not sure if the pictures do the interior justice. It's just dark purple with some spiral pattern. It doesn't look girly to me in person at all.
But, I do plan to add foam inside. The case is certainly easy enough to modify, as you've seen. Foam will allow you better, more stylish placement of your Beyblades. I can cut squares of foam that fit inside of the drawers and have circles cut from the foam for individual Beyblades. Either that, or a system of foam walls can just be crisscrossed inside. Hell, even some painted card would do well and look nice.
Other cases are nice, too. Here's one with that higher tech look you guys like. It's small, looks good for an HMS collection.

I think my makeup case is not the best choice, but I think it demonstrates that these types of cases can work really well for a small Beyblade collection or a combination set.
The issue with these small ones is that they likely cannot hold winders.
Hmm I think the word I should have used was suave or intricate.
I think the combination of both would be fine actually haha.

I think that red one would be able to hold HMS and normal winders just fine and it looks awesome!

That red one folds out the same as the one Anubis posted, and has the exact same layout.
Why would it be any better at holding Beyblades?

He didn't say it would hold Beyblades any better, he just likes it.
And I don't think it can hold winders. Mine is really big, and it's just long enough to hold a Dragon winder.

You know, around here this wouldn't really be considered to be rather feminine.
Anyway, I use a toolbox with various compartments. It works something like this, but folds upwards (not sideways) and is a plain boring grey monotone plastic. I would like something like this, just that I probably wouldn't want to spend so much considering that I already have a box to put my stuff in.
Yeah, it's not that feminine to me either ... just impractical.
Hm maybe we should make an official cases/container thread? Anne bought me one today as well. :3

We can just rename this topic and turn it into the official cases/container thread, if Anubis doesn't mind.
Go ahead. :3

I said Normal. Not Dragoon. I only have the 1 Dragoon Winder so normal winders (with the circle) would probably fit in that if the G winders can. It looks smaller and therefore tighter so I think it would be nice to have HMS in it.

It might. You can probably find measurements somewhere... o-o
I think this is very cool and i like the color.
I saw a case very similar to this but the outside was metal and the inside was just black. I think I saw it at a walmart or something.
motion to change anubis' title to "fabulous caboodle"
FABULOOOOUUUUUTTHHHHH~~~~
there not that good -.-
Done.
im actually considering getting somethin like this, my old toolbox isnt cuttin it anymore so i need something new and fairly large....i think this could be good but im gonna look around a bit more first
