I know these DIY Bugger Boxes have been done before, but thought I would pass along this link to some super cheap Flambeau boxes. The shipping is a bit steep but if you get a couple it evens out pretty good. Check it out - https://www.flambeaucases.com/index.php/site/details/6775TXR

WB,

It's just regular 6mm craft foam from Hobby Lobby. Pink was the only color left.

Very cool. My buddy Nick made his own as well. I recall him telling me he got his box from Michael's. That's definitely on the to do list. Thanks for sharing.
