Dam you Battlefoam.

After spending about $90 on my own mini transport system involving many hours of putting magnets inside bases and using 12x18 metal tool boxes (magnets means they don’t move and no foam), you made me spend $150 on your P.A.C.K. 432. Thanks a lot, you could have done this last year and saved me the time, trouble, and monies.

Seriously though. I emailed Romeo yesterday; he got back to me right away. I ordered the P.A.C.K. 432 and he’s even bringing my bag to Adepticon so I avoid the shipping. Love your product and I think battle foam will be the gold standard in figure transport for the foreseeable future.

I love the sets of foam here. I'm gunna need the tau tank one... But i'm wondering, could i order it with extra drone slots? NO tau player will only have 4 drones.... and i'm getting tired taking my tanks and drones in a cupcake box ;p

Just received my "Heavy Weapons" foam for my Imperial Guard, and I had to come on here to sing the praises of Battlefoam. This stuff feels durable and hearty, without being too stiff for the models. I love it.

My only beef is that I ordered it for a GW army case, and it leaves about 1" of space on either side. This is a terribly minor thing that was easily corrected with the extra spacers I had after storing my sentinels. Then I realized I can store my sentinels properly, at long last, and I gushed.

After the Guard release I'll be looking to order a bunch of custom foam to fill up all my army cases. Maybe a PACK or two...

Keep up the good work!

is that 1" on the sides or top and bottom (top being the hinge and bottom being the clasp side)? i'm thinking about getting these for my guardsmen but i'm not sure how many comfortably fit in a gw case. i'd have to agree with the owner that the current website is not as ecommerce friendly as it could be. how many of the 1" trays (or technically 1 1/4" trays with the bottom spacer) can you fit in a gw hard case?

edit: i sent them an email from their website. i'll update my own post with the answers.

Well, I'm using the big GW Army Case with GW infantry foam in the other half. With the Battlefoam neatly pressed against the 'top' (side with the hinges), and the outer 'side', there is 1" of space between the battlefoam and the GW foam, and between the battlefoam and the 'bottom' of the case with the clasps.

But the non-slip bottom makes it very hard to shift, so even without the spacers crammed in there for support I'd feel confident carrying it around as is.

For the HW/Sentinel foam it appears there's just the right amount of space for some eggshell foam to top it off (A good idea if you have antennas sticking out, as the Armaggedon Pattern Sentinels do on mine). But you can actually fit a whole extra tray of GW infantry foam with topper in there too, if you're comfortable with putting a slight squeeze on your foam/models when you clasp the case.

i'll have to think about it in that case. i could understand wanting to be different and avoiding GW's lawyer attack dogs but IMHO that could have been done by making one dimension smaller. i could always put the tape measure, templates, AOBR rulebook, and dice in a ziploc bag on one side if it has an inch of extra space there. having the other loosy goosy doesn't have any benefit.

can you (or anyone who has both) take a side by side pick of the battlefoam infantry foam (10x5 slots) next to the GW hardcase equivalent? it would be much appreciated.

So hows the post-Adepticon stuff coming?

Hi Guys,

Cyporiean - Well, lets just say that santa's little elves are all working at Battle Foam righ now. Luckly for us they take cookies as payment.

Adepticon went better then any of us could have imagined. You guys not only make the hobby awesome, but you make me and the whole team at Battle Foam work that much harder for ya.

I have never been around a bunch of nicer people. Everyone came up to our booth and said hi and thanks for the foam. It was really unbelievable.

We are working 24 hours a day right now to get all the bags and foam out by the 15th. We really hope everyone like their stuff and hope we can help in the future.

I'm so grateful to you guys for making this dream come true for us and for letting our small company serve your hobby needs.

Looking forward to an awesome year.

Thanks

Romeo

Romeo that is what happens when you make a superior product

I just wanted to say that I made an order with Battlefoam this week and they were great. I was a real PITA with a number of things and they did an outstanding job working with me.

Looking forward to getting my case/foam!

Hi Guys,

Sorry for not being on here the past few weeks. We have just been slammed getting all the bags out for tomorrows release.

The good news is that all Bags, Foam, and Load Outs are finished, boxed and on the FedEx truck. Everyone will get their bags as advertised. Thanks again to all the support, and please let me or any of our guys know if we can help in any way.

I will throw my hat into the love fest here.

I put an order in this weekend, and despite my incorectly typing my phone number they followed up, made sure everything was good to go and I am eagerly looking forward to my beautiful bag and custom foam loadout!!!

Thanks to them the 211th Cadian Armored Cavalry Regiment ( Naval Air Support Attached )


Will travel in style!!!

Good to hear! I'll be placing my order on the 3rd So have those Fantasy tray designs ready by then

Hi Romeo.

I am unfortunately from England, which makes ordering more difficult as you know. I will be sending you a letter with details of what I need doing for my army, but just need the full adress so it gets to you from England. Once my first case is made and I have received it I can gaurantee that loads of people from my gaming group will want some so you will be receiving lots more orders!

So could you please either reply on here with the adress to send letters to or PM me. I have looked on youre website under contact, but wasnt sure if the details on there were 100% everything I needed to send from the UK.

As soon as I hear from you, we can start the ball rolling. Then hopefully i can get you more advertising in the UK as I attend a lot of the shows in the UK!

Keep up the great work!

Ok, just got my PACK 1520 in the mail today and I have to say that for the most part I'm very impressed with the bag. The downside however is that the top bag just doesn't seem to provide a good fit for GW sized Battlefoam trays. See the pics below to see what I mean:







Am I just doing this wrong?

it's not supposed to hold gw foam it's supposed to hold P.A.C.K. foam, so yes your doing it wrong

Makov - Lord Solaar is completely right. The GW foam does not fit correctly in our bags because it is not designed for our bags. The GW foam is 12" x 10" and our foam trays are 15.5" x 12". As you also may have noticed our troop trays for the P.A.C.K. system fits 72 troops when the GW only fits 50.

This will make better sense when the new Battle Foam site goes up early next week. We are adding all of the new trays for the bags so you will be able to order individual trays or package deals.

Makov - please call us if you have any other questions or concerns. We are here to help.

ah..that makes sense then. I guess I just missed that when getting information about the bag, I would have ordered a pre-filled bag but I figured I would be able to use what I already had. I will surely look into ordering some of the pack bags then. Thanks alot!

The new website looks pretty slick and more legible. I like the new videos put up, what better way to showcase a product.

I agree, looks great.

Where are the prefilled bags though?

For whatever reason, it seems the site has snapped back to the original configuration.

Wait until around 4:40 for the Gasp! moment.

Now that's just good customer service, offering a product exclusively because of customer requests. It also fills a niche.

There's also an even smaller pack offered now, I forget the exact amount but it's a 200+ pack, around 240 or something.

I didn't think it was worth the high cost until I realized that the case had rigid sides. Not sure if it's actually hard shell, but it is rigid enough to stand up on its own.

I'll be buying the 1520 with a 432 loadout of Ork stuff, this way I can buy extra foam later on, no need to buy everything at once.

Unfortunately, it's also looking like you can't buy the $200 preorders for the 1520 with a full load out anymore.

I've ordered some stuff, and I enjoyed the commercial, but it's pretty funny to see the influence of the Shamwow guy in the tenor and tone of the pitch.

I noticed that too, wish I would have known it was going to be a limited time thing

How could you NOT trust a dude that looks like this:



I'm definitely going to be picking up some Battlefoam once I finish painting my army. I hate the GW foam (and mine has mostly fallen apart anyways). I'm hearing nothing but good things about Battlefoam so it will be a great investment for my little toy soldiers to have a foamy home.

Damn good infomercial. Seeing the difference in number of troops stored (40 vs 24 in my sabol) makes me want to get some sabol sized trays. Still not 100% sure on the battlefoam bags though.


Also... pluck n pick?? I feel so betrayed!

Vertrucio wrote:Unfortunately, it's also looking like you can't buy the $200 preorders for the 1520 with a full load out anymore.

Ouch, I'm going to wait to see if that offer will return, otherwise I'll just stick to my old bags.

I ordered bunches of stuff at adepticon. I think he said about 2 weeks but any idea how much longer?
