I’ve finally found it.

The Iris 15-gallon Wing Lid Storage Box, WL-60. I have found this only at
Office Depot so far. Iris, a Japanese company, has a near-useless
English-language Website1, so I don’t know where else it might be found.
Akro-Mills has what looks like a similar product, the 68-qt KeepBox (model
66499CLSIL) but I haven’t been able to locate one of these yet.
Pros:
Nests when empty
Attached lid (no trouble storing lids while nested)
Attached lid (no need to label lid, keep track of lid at shows)
Clear (can identify contents at a glance)
Plastic (stackable, rugged)
This last was the key factor. I have had great difficulty finding boxes
that play well with large gray baseplates. I specifically went shopping
for a Moonbase module box before BrickFest PDX; the best I could find was
an 18x18x16 cardboard box that cost at least $5. That left lots
of room for the module to slosh around and it had no support for stacking
things on top. The WL-60 fits a gray baseplate almost exactly: not too
small, but only a fraction of an inch of space to slosh. Thus, a Moonbase
module, 15x15 landscape section, or similarly-sized MOC can be safely
transported to a meeting or a show even without padding. This size will
also work well with a combination of 10x10 and 10x5 MOCs. I can see a
closet full of these, stacked-up and ready to go to a show in seconds.
Cons:
Street price of $12 each
Found only at Office Depot so far
Iris seems to have little interest in product stability or compatibility;
this box may go away at any time.

This is really really cool news. Your storage-fu is impressive. I’ll be bloggin’
this on Zemi. Also, you should check out http://www.zag.co.il/ for another
horrible storage website for a good storage line.
