That's what I figured... What's a good sturdy flight case besides the rimowa? You've had success boxing your records in sturdy cardboard boxes and checking them right? I may just do that
they just don't really make record boxes like they used to, to be honest. most are pretty damn cheap, but there's some good ones around. i recommend just going to a few stores and checking them out by hand - you can tell a whack one right away.
as for moving, yeah, i boxed up my records in some really proper moving boxes, but i doubled up the walls by cutting up a second box and filling the gaps in...which i'm glad i did. the boxes made it just fine, even with a connection at heathrow (which is a nightmare and a half), but they had a couple dings in them, along with a couple jabs from other luggage that, if i wouldn't have done two layers of cardboard, probably would have damaged some vinyl. just tape the living sh!t out of it, and do ALL the edges. i can show you some photos of how meticulous i was if you want.
