While shopping with the family this past weekend, I came across a trio of small collector tins at Five Below. For only $5 each, you can have a small 4-5" tall metal collector tin with the likeness of R2-D2, Darth Vader, or Boba Fett. They are secured with a lunchbox-style clasp, and they include a small handle on the top.
