if all else fails you can probably keep your lunch in the box when you're balling - or you'll have the most kitted out 5 year old kid in the world with one of those puppies; teenage mutant heroes step aside, there is a new king of the lunch box!
ooh, im not sooo sure, pokemon is still up there
but yeah, fancy box... something that you could actually keep it in if you chose to. unlike regular cardboard ones. little help they are really.
obviously depending on the metal used, and thickness, the downside could be in added postage costs, but im guessing the mini's weight makes up for this
