How to Set the Combination Lock on a BCW Locking Case

The BCW Locking Cases offer a great mix of durability and security. This is not only due to the soft foam interior holding the slabs, but also because of the integrated combination lock. This is especially useful if you take the cases to shows, as the locks help act as a deterrent to keep others from trying to get into your collectibles.

To set the combination, follow these steps. First, open the case. Then, on the back of the lock, push the slider to the “Set” position. Set the 3 dials to your desired code, then push the slider to “Off”. After that, simply repeat the process on the other lock. You can use the same combination on both sides, different ones, whatever works best for you. I suggest something you can easily remember.

Protecting TMNT The Last Ronin

The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles The Last Ronin series concluded with Issue 5 (IDW Publishing, April 2022). The series depicts a future NYC where a lone Turtle seeks justice for his fallen family and friends. These comics are not the common “current comic size”, making it a bit more challenging to bag and board these book if you plan to protect them in the normal fashion. The Last Ronin comics measures 7 1/16″ x 10 13/16″, larger than most current comics. These are thick perfect bound issues, meaning they have wraparound covers that are glued to the interior pages, like paperback books.

The Last Ronin are essentially the height of a traditional magazine, and the width of Golden Age comics. Therefore a bit of customizing is needed to get the desired fit when storing these with bags and boards. Get Golden Age Comic Bags (7 5/8″ x 10 1/2″). The version without the resealable strip is best in this instance, as the flap in the back will not reach down to the resealable strip, so the flap will need to be taped down. For the backing boards, get Magazine Boards (8 1/2″ x 11″) as those are the appropriate height. It will be necessary to trim one inch off the side of the Mag Boards in order to get the desired width.
