Sorry, but we do all distro with US, Canadian, and our own in house people. We are working on Europe as a whole as soon as possible. Best suggestion is to get together with a group of friends and buy items together. Shipping gets cut back that way and you all benefit. Just an idea. Hope that helps.

Thanks

You need to get out of my head Romeo stealing my ideas before I can give them to you.

What is the International rate?
I can't find it on the website.

Great idea. 3 things kill it for me:

1. It's going to be a long time before I get around to painting the models. And by then I'll likely be all played out of the game. So having a nice safe environment to carry my models around isn't a huge priority at the minute.

2. I live in the UK and the international shipping is unaffordable for me, given that priority.

3. I am a little disappointed in the bottom tray. I haven't seen the components myself yet, so I don't know if its possible, but I would have liked a few more compartments that simply 2 for all the non-miniatures gubbins.

Just my 2p, but still a great idea for my US colleagues!

Select an item roughly the same and go to the check out.

Then cry when you realise that the postage is probably more than the item cost.

Romeo, I would recommend talking to Esdevium Games about UK distribution -- they're very pleasant and easy to work with (I've dealt with them both from the perspective of retailer, and of games publisher, over the years, and they were a joy to deal with on both occasions).

Put me down as another vote for "I will happily buy these once shipping doesn't cost more than the product". In fact, I'd say that about a lot of the Battle Foam line...

Roughly £35 for one set plus postage to the UK.



And there's a chance of being charged import duties on top.

Also on the band wagon here, battlefoam is awesome but uk shipping is just too expensive to make it viable at the moment. (not just this product, all battlefoam really)

$25 for the trays
$29 for the postage

$54 = £33.42

The annoying thing is that if we did organise a bulk buy to save on postage, the saving would probably get eaten up by import duties and VAT.

Guy, sorry but we can't help the postage. Blame the crappy post office for killing us on shipping. FedEx and Ups are not any better. My suggestion is to get together with some friends and order a bunch of kits together. This way you all save. Maybe a local store in the UK would like to get in on it. If they order a large box of SH trays then you guys could just go there and pick them up when they arrive. Just some ideas to help with the post.

Ok guys, we got them done and ready to order. They are on the site. Here is a link that you can use. Thanks for the interest.

Not only does it fit the contents but the foam fits inside the Space Hulk BOX!

Question (to you or Romeo):

If I mount all the pieces on 25 or 40mm bases (for the Genestealers and Terminators respectively), will they still fit in the tray?

Awesome, now I have to spend more cash.
This will my first BF purchase, and will make my soon to be roaming SH3rd nights easy.

Gonna have to pick some up when I get my models painted.

We need a distributor in the UK.

Aren't there any that'll pick up the baton and run with this!

I'm pretty sure there's money to be made here.

For sure because with those shipping costs Battlefoam are cutting off a large potential market.

You think the postage is expensive to the the UK. Try Australia!!

Romeo,
LOVE This stuff!!

I might even grab some come christmas (Going to be in the US), just need to figure out how I bring it back (My wife and family may have other priorities!!)

Whatever you do, bring it back in something, otherwise we get the Tom-Pattern 'Crushed Sabol Foam' issue.

And bring one back for me too while you're at it!

Makaleth wrote:You think the postage is expensive to the the UK. Try Australia!!

The international postage is the same for all countries.

Also if you're in Australia then how come your flag says america?

Makaleth wrote:You think the postage is expensive to the the UK. Try Australia!!

As already pointed out there is only one rate for 'not north America' which is a little daft.

Seems to be the same on the USPS website as well.

Is there a guild/image of what Terminators/Genestealers go into what slot?

Hi Guys,

On the shipping topic. We can not do anything about the shipping fellas. We get charged what we get charged by your country you live in. We have no control over USPS, UPS, or FedEx rates. We charge nothing for boxes, tape or any other shipping supplies. We charge nothing for man power to pack the foam up. We only charge what we are asked to by the shipping service we use.

To give you guys any idea, Forgeworld just charged me $33.00 us for $200.00 of small resin parts. I bet you everything I ordered comes in a box no larger then a small hand watch. I don't really think it will cost FW $33.00 for shipping, but they still get their money. So US customers have it just as bad as you guys do in the UK with US products.

My only suggestion is to move closer. LOL. That or start talking up Battle Foam in your local stores. Maybe that way we can get one of your UK distro house to call us and get things going. We are waiting on them. We have already tried calling all the ones we know of with no reply.

On the subject of Space Hulk. Yes, their will be an instruction page inside the box with the foam showing you what place each model goes to.

Hope that helps.

Will the foam tray be amenable to anyone who might have based their Terminators on a 40mm round base?

Sgt Diablo wrote:nurgleboy77 - oh well, I guess you'll just be jamming those great models and game pieces inside the box all smashed together. Also, considering the custom work and time that goes into the upper tray, $25.00 is a steal. Hope your models stay safe without the protective foam.

Hmm.... well that strengthens my reservations to outright refusal. Really, I was looking for some reason or advantage to buying the set, not a reason to not buy the set. Which is what I got with your smarmy attitude.

Guess I'll just have to buy a $4 plastic tacklebox tray like I do all my other minis.

Makaleth wrote:I might even grab some come christmas (Going to be in the US), just need to figure out how I bring it back (My wife and family may have other priorities!!)

I was going to suggest you mail it to yourself, but .... yeeeeah.

$25? And people say GW rip you off.

First i wanted to say that i've been coming to this forum for a long time and this is my first post. now the price of the battle foam issue. it would take 4 sabol trays of pick and pluck, which they charge the same price regardless of height, to fill the box. the sabol trays coat 9$ a tray so that would be 36$ for pick and pluck. so for 25$ you get 1 large custom tray and another that holds everything else. so can any one say that is a rip off. as for shipping welcome to living across the pound of the product yo want. thank's

looks like a nice product, I will be heavily converting my Spulk minis and adding bases, so I will pass, but if I was going to keep the set completely stock I would get this.

Nurgleboy77 - lets be honest, you never would of bought anything from Battle Foam anyway. No matter what I posted you would have had something derogatory to say. Hey, Battle Foam is not for everyone, and we never try to push anything down anyones throat. Please don't try to make it seem like we don't work our butts off helping our customers. If you don't like the product, don't buy it. If you don't like our staff, don't ask questions that will be answered by our staff. Lastly, if you don't like me, don't read the thread. Just skip it and move on.

Boy oh boy, some people.

Anyway, to everyone else we hope you like our products and I hope we are doing right by all of you. We are posting 30 new trays tomorrow on our site. They will range from Fantasy to 40K to warmachine. Keep an eye out for it posting on the site late tomorrow afternoon.

Thanks Guys

Enjoy the holiday.
