Once again, wow!

kinghammer - I don't think I ever said thanks. You started this post, and I just wanted to thank you for posting your stuff. I know that last tray for Rick was a pain, but we got all 5 rhinos in there, 6 bikes, 2 speeders, and the rocket launchers. Not bad for a $20.00 piece of foam saving you the need in buying another case.

Thanks again dude, and let me know if you guys need anything at all.

Thats the big ass GW case

Just to give you guys an idea of our larger case coming out next month. You will be able to fit 5 times that much armour in our large bag.

Just an FYI.

I can't wait till these bags go on sale.
I normally get a decent discount on Sabol trays (since I work at a hobby shop) but after my order of 2 Ultramarines trays I'm sold!!

I am a new customer of Battlefoam and just received my order. All I can say is wow! I put an order in for my Tyranids and the trays are great. Every tray does not have writing on it, but even my customized models fit nicely.

I hope to see Battlefoam list the Gaunt and hormagaunt trays under their Tyranid section. These are great!

Here are some pictures of my models in the trays. These are GW Case sized trays.

Gaunts


Hormies


Genestealers


Tyrant/Zoanthropes/Guard/Lictor

Just to throw my 2 in, I have an order that came in a few weeks ago from Romeo. Fast, timely service. I can't post any impressions about the product, as I am currently about 11,000 miles form home as the crow flies, and will not be back for about another month. I will let you know what I think about the stuff when I get to my house.

BTW, even if I don't win that contest, I can't WAIT to see these new bags and get me mitts on them. Anyone hear how much they cost, post it up, eh? Provided Romeo clears it, that is.

Hi guys,

The results are in and a winner has been picked. If you guys want to talk about the bags or the winners, just use this tread. The contest tread is closed and no more entries are needed.

Thank you to everyone that help us with the huge task.

Romeo
Battle Foam

OH! Who won???

Everyone, everybody is a winner.

Does anyone know what size foam will fit in the bags, GW or Sabol?

Neither, they are a custom size for his bags.

Ozymandias, King of Kings

yeah,

1 Large P.A.C.K. 1520 with foam ($275.00 Value)
1 Medium P.A.C.K. 432 with foam ($150.00 Value)

Is there a break down of these prices? they seem a bit high!

compared to games workshops prices.
Small (108) $50
Large (216) $95
Although I can see you fit more men inside battlefoams bags.
The straight up outlay of cash is significantly greater!?!?
plus there is the issue of a HardCase vs (Soft?) Bag.

Basically I'm thinking of upgrading my GW cases with BattleFoam trays for the extra capacity...

1 of the standard 50 troops BattleFoam trays that fits a GW case costs $15 (plus Postage)
2 of the standard 50 troops BattleFoam trays that fits a GW case costs $26 (plus Postage)
so.. Three of these in a GW case works out at $41 for the extra 42 figures in my case. nearly 50% extra capacity...
or If I can fit four of these in a GW Case it'll be $52 to upgrade so I can fit a extra 92 figures in the case. nearly double the capacity...
while if I spend $50 on another GW case I'll able to store 108 more figuers... exactly double the capacity but intwo cases for less...
Have I got things right?
Can 4 trays fit in a GW case?

I really want to increase capacity but I'm not sure if the maths is right for me....
Panic...

Hi Guys,

Just hold on for just a few more days (march 1st) The pricing will be released very shortly.

Please remember that there will be 3 ways to buy the bats.

Empty - Lowest price

Pre Filled - Medium Price

Fully Custom - Highest Price

The contest winner won the fully custom package so he will be able to custom cut all of his trays and pick any combo he wants. That is why the fully custom price is $275.00

Before I give to much away, I'll help you guys with the math a bit.

We'll use standard troops since its the easiest way to compare apples to apples.

A normal GW hard case holds 36 troops per foam tray. They fit 3 foam trays for a total of 108. Price $50.00

A normal Sabol Army Transport holds 26 troops per foam tray if you pick it just right. They fit 10 trays for a total of 260. Price $70.00

Now for our bags. We'll start with the medium bag first.

P.A.C.K. 432 holds just 6 trays but maximizes the 6 inches of foam by giving more models per tray. Our 6 trays will hold 432 troops. Price ????

P.A.C.K. 1520 holds 21 trays but again maximizes the 21 inches of foam to give you more per tray. Our 21 trays will hold 1520 troops. Price ????

So comparing the bags is easy.

To get 432 troops in a Sabol Army Transport, you would need 2 cases. That is a total of $140.00 and does not come custom or with any text.

To get 432 troops in a GW hard case you would need 4 cases that would cost you $200.00. Again, no custom cuts or text.

Now for the big daddy.

To get 1520 troops in a Sabol Army Transport you would need 6 cases totaling $420.00 and needing you to carry 6 bags. Yes, 6 freakin bags.

To get 1520 troops in a GW hard case you would need to buy 14 cases totaling $700.00 and you would be carring 14 plastic hard cases. Again, 14 freakin hard cases.


So I hope that clears up the math a bit. Pricing will be released in just a couple of days with a full product review on our website (www.battlefoam.com) in video format.

Also, something to remember is that our bags are not soft bags. They are hard cased bags with a canvas outside. That gives you the durability and strength of a hard case, but with the look of normal luggage.

Stay tuned.

Romeo

Is there any chance we can get the deminsions of the normal holes in the trays?
Such as the holes in the LARGE MODELS Trays, the SPACE MARINE SCOUT BIKES Trays, and the MARINE BIKERS Trays?
I'd like to get trays for all my guys but with my memory I'm afraid I'll forget which model goes in which custom hole.

With your bags being a hard case canvas covered item does it collapse for shipping? Just curious for cross border shipping where package size makes abit of a diff.

Here is a few answers to some of the questions people have been asking.

Q - What size are the new trays going to be?

A - 15.5 x 12 will be our foam tray size. This size will fit into both cases so expanding into new bags later will allow you to still use all your foam.


Q - Are the bags soft or hard cased, and will they be able to break down for shipping?

A - The bags are build with a hard inside and canvas outside. They will not be able to be broken down and will need to ship in their true side just like GW hard cases.


Q - Will Sabol foam or GW foam fit inside the New Battle Foam cases?

A - No, we designed our bags to fit only our sized foam. We did this because of IP issues with Sabol Designs and Games Workshop.


Q - When does pre-ordering begin, and when should I expect my bag?

A - We will begin pre-orders on March 1st. The bags will be available on our site or by calling us over the phone. The bags will ship on April 15th. If you are attending Adepticon in Chicago, you will be able to pick your bags up in person.


Q - What will the bags cost?

A - The prices for both bags will be up on our site on Sunday. We will also do a product reveiw video that will post here on Dakka and on our site.


Hope this helps some of you out.

Thanks

Jeeze, Romeo, you really know how to build suspense and excitement for a great product. I can't wait to see more.

Suspense is one thing but great hype and service seems to be high up on your priorities list Romeo.

I think thats a key factor that new buisnesses in a custom manufacturing field that alot of people can't excel in and it hurts them usually ending in closing down.

I know alot of people tryin to hock custom car parts that get shut down in no time at all do to very little or no customer service.

Keep up the good work man, your selling yourself here after all hehe.

BTW will love to pre-order some baggage come the 1st of March.

@sgt Diablo

I have a specific list of needs and was wondering if prior to the official release date you could clue me in as to whether this would be custom or "normal foam" and which bag I would need to fit this

200 total infantry

15 or 16 rhino bodies (can lose 1 depending on ease of fitting

9 dreadnoughts

6 leman russ

4 chimera

there are some more small bits Those will have to be custom, i am wondering how much of this is standard.

Thank you in advance

Hi,

Well, I must say that is an impressive list of minis. You my friend are in dire need of P.A.C.K. 1520. The cool thing about the 1520 is that it breaks down into two parts. This will allow you to only bring the top section if your planning a small game, or bring just the bottom section if your game is bigger or around 2500 or so points. If you want to wipe the floor with your opponent then zip both sections up and bring everything you got. Oh, you'll have some room for a bagged lunch and some gummy bears.

Hope this helps.

Romeo
Battle Foam

That sounds like a winner. I dont like gummy bears though. How about a sub sandwhich.

Here's a question regarding the hard-case aspect of the P.A.C.K. systems. Just how hard is it? What kind of construction are we talking about? One thing I have always liked about the GW cases is that I travel around the world quite a lot. I live in the US, but my current contract is in India; so at 22,000 miles round trip as the 747 flies, I damn near circumnavigate the Earth. Just to get to work and back. In 2008 I was about one RCH away from a quarter million miles, back in forth once every 4-5 weeks.
So obviously, since I take my mini's with me, I am very interested in toting as many as possible safely. Would you say that the P.A.C.K. systems are as tough as the GW hard cases? If not, could you give some kind of indicaiton as to what type of construction they are, or something? Not after "state secrets" here.

Edit:

didnt notice there were more pages, :S:S:S

Without giving to much away, its tough. It's not a hard case, so please do not expect a super hard plastic blown inside. That would be extremely heavy and unrealistic to make in our size.

With foam, our bags will stand the test of time in an airport. Like anything else, you need to pack your items well and the bag will do the rest. People that travel a lot really can use our service because we make the foam cuts so close to the true model. That keeps things from jumping around inside the case. I know if you have a GW hard case like I had, your items are always shifting around inside.

Let's just put it this way. If you have lived with GW hard cases and their foam till now, our bags will make your day.

Hope this helps.

?. . . Hey romeo, you said you were working on a tray for kroot. . . any progress?

1 inch x 2 inch holes would work great for kroot, drones, and the old xv15 stealths (what I want to use them for)
