Now I just need all black 3D printed parts from Wermy, and another batch of electronics from Helder! (And the sound card.... coming on a slow boat from Shenzen)
I'm doing exactly the same thing. And as you, I'm waiting on the sound card. Its taking forever.

I'm now getting a bit obsessed with discovering new tin options. That Batman tin some chap found blew my mind!
Found these in store today. If you're in the UK, Marks and Spencer do a BLATANT rip off of Altoids, and the tin is identical.

It's no Batman tin, but Morrisons is about the only other place in the UK you can get the tins, and not everyone has a Morrisons close by.
Did I mention I want a batman tin?
Oh good find. My office is right next to a huge M&S

Can confirm, the M&S FauxToids tin fits like a glove!

Found these on my recent holiday.
All 3 were the exact size of Altoids, however the cat and the dog did have a very slightly embossed lid. Given the tolerances in the mintypi it may make a difference, or maybe not.
Anyway! Always good to find more alternatives!
