As others have said magnetic storage is key for MCP. This tutorial walks you through everything.

Literally 4/5 of the people in my MCP group use this solution.

MCP is what transitioned me from foam to a magnet storage. This is the best option and it’s incredibly easy. We bought two cupcake carriers, lined them with magnet sheets, and then magnetized the bottom of each miniature.
There’s a couple minis that need extra care with magnets because of wonky uneven bases, and the taller minis can be a logistical challenge… but those are few compared to the majority of delicate MCP minis that I no longer worry about transporting.

I do an alternate version of this. I use cheap galvanized steel roll flashing that I cut to shape and then double sided gorilla tape.

Magnets. Most of my mcp was fine being transported upright in foam cutouts but getting into Shatterpoint with all the lightsabers sticking out everywhere made magnets a necessity and they’ve been good for mcp as well

You really don't need baking sheets for magnetized minis. "DiYMAG flexible adhesive sheets" can turn your MCP core box (or any container) into a magnetic carrying case in 15 minutes or less. They're thin enough to cut with regular scissors and require no glue. They're also very cheap.

For most people, they already have baking sheets sitting around and 0 minutes is quicker than 15 minutes, you just need the magnets on the minis. I'm definitely not the first to start that way then eventually make a covered box.

Magnets on the bottom and put them in a tin

Magnets, cheap solution is a baking sheet with magnets on bottom of models bases. Expensive and much more safe is a proper magnetic storage case. see A case or Magna Racks. A inbetween with more effort is making your own.
You could for example buy a suitable box and glue metallic sheets to the bottom and top or similar and you get a pretty good case for low cost. A shoebox is a allright choice for smaller collections. Another option is to buy a toolbox, they tend to have metallic bottom sections in most toolboxes and they are ready to use with no extra work. They can be kinda expensive though and tend to be a bit on the heavier side.

Here's a link to an older tutorial but the main principles remain the same. I hope it helps you transition into magnet land!

I thought they were on a bed of sand

If you want to buy things over making something things like mechi troop cases are pretty good
