At Staples, I found a really neat product called the Really Useful Box. These come in various sizes, and if you fill them with foam inserts from old blister and clamshell packs, you can safely carry a few miniatures in a bag or coat pocket.
Here's a few pics to illustrate my point!
You can see my Arkham Avengers character and his human alter-ego in the 1.6 litre RUB. Surrounded by plenty of foam bits, they ride to the games in comfort!
Above we have five 15mm hunters and their prey inside the mid-sized .75 litre RUB. Once I place another piece of foam on top of them and clip the lid down tight, they'll be cinched-in and immobilized for safe transport.
The .14 litre above is my latest addition. At only $1 at Staples I buy multiples for when I do single figure commissions for people. Providing them a nice case to carry their mini home in adds a little bit of customer service to the transaction!
And they stack quite nicely as well:
Anyway, RUBs are a pretty nifty way to efficiently carry just a few minis to a game. Give them a try!
