Hi gamers,

We are very excited to announce that Battle Foam will open its new UK based warehouse/production facility early next month.

This May gamers in the UK will no longer have to pay high shipping fees, custom fees or wait months to get their Battle Foam.

With our new location opening in May gamers will be able to stop by our Southend-On-Sea location to pick up our full range directly.

We also want everyone to know that our relationship with Wayland Games will only strengthen. All UK retail locations along with European store owners will have quicker delivery times as our stock to Wayland Games (Our Exclusive European Retail Distributer) will be able to fill orders in days instead of weeks. This along with Wayland Games having the largest distribution of miniatures can make for a great combo purchase. Gamers and store owners will save greatly by ordering BF Bags, Foam, and Models directly from Wayland Games.

Our location in Southend-On-Sea is East of London and will service our entire UK customer base along with our EU friends looking for custom foam trays.

Along with having full production available we will also be taking custom orders. Our helpful UK staff will accept traces from walk in customers or can help with orders placed on our website. The Custom Tray Creator will be available as always to allow everyone to build their own layouts. The entire range of Battle Foam bags and foam will be stocked at our new locations.

Please keep an eye on our site for full details and a complete address in the next couple of weeks. As our machines get installed and our employees get trained more information will be posted.

We are very excited to finally make our products available at a more affordable price to our friends in Europe.

Looking forward to a bright future in the UK

Battle Foam

That's cool. I hope your venture is successful

Awesome news indeed!

Will we need to buy via resellers still or can we do a direct order?

Good news indeed. Good luck with the expansion Romeo,

Really cool news -- good luck!

wOOt

Great, I was thinking of buying but was put off by the shipping fees and the long transit.

Hope this works out for you guys.

That is good news indeed. I can now start planning out what trays I need properly

Great news.
This is a good example of how a company expands succesfully. The enthusiasm from the people of battlefoam is obvious.

Excellent stuff. I'll probably be picking up a bag with lots of new DE trays in it then.

you did say southend on sea right?.... this is just brilliant, i moved there a couple of months ago, and i find out I got wayland games right at my doorstep, and now i got battlefoam... life couldnt get better, though the local GW may start to suffer a bit more =p.

Wayland and now Battlefoam in Essex, it is becoming quite the Mecca for nerdage.

I was wondering, Romeo, and now the question seems more pertinent with your overseas distribution, but where are the foam and all the bags made?

The foam surely has to be cut on-site to ensure prompt delivery, but where are the bags sourced from?

*edited for spelling*

Just in time for my first order
Might have to sort out a day-trip "Dahn Sahff". See you there.

Wow!
Romeo, that is great news, indeed.

Congratulations on your success.


Eric

I'm wondering will we be able to come and visit the warehouse and buy stuff in person, ala wayland games?

Amazing, I've been wanting a battle foam case for months but have decided against it because of shipping costs. May couldn't come round soon enough

Great news for UK (and hopefully the rest of EU as well ). Congratulations on the opening.

Having previously been put off due to the high shipping cost, this is good news.

This sounds great.

I'd previously considered buying Battlefoam before realising that shipping almost cost the same as the cases.

Congrats!

...and as a side benefit to the staff, easy access to Essex girls!

Awesome, no longer will my Orks have to suffer the cramped confined space of the GW foam my boyz can now travel in the comfort of kings.

Excellent news!
Will have to look seriously at your products now.

Good luck!

Excellent! I'm from Southend and I must say I am very happy. I need new foam badly.

Battle Foam and Wayland Games are very excited as well. We thank everyone for replying and we welcome the business that you guys have help build.

It has been several months of hard work but finally we can say its worth it due to these replies. We are so thankful for everyone that has supported us over the years.

Our company could not be in the position it is today without you guys. It also helps that Dakka Dakka is the badass of nerd forums. Nice job Yakface and Mr. Who. (You know who your are) You guys have made Battle Foam possible due to your forum of world wide gamers.

P.S. You guys should see the grots at Wayland and BFUK working today. It was like a giant ork camp with Space Marines waiting to attack. Lots of hands and feet moving in all directions.

Battle Foam

I love you guys, but you might want to find a different abbreviation. "BFUK" might not give out the message you want. ; )

Eric

LOL, I see what you mean you dirty dog.

You might want to see if you can grab yourselves a warehouse up in Nottingham actually, not only is GWHQ and FW there, but Maelstrom Games as well.

I always try to "read" abbreviations. Yours just happened to make me laugh, when I did.
Personally, I LOVE it. In polite conversation, however, I'd continue to refer to you as "Battlefoam UK." : )

Eric

This is the best gaming-news of the month IMHO. I'm not able to find the new DE trays in Wayland's website, now I know the wait will not be long \o/

You can always say BFETH, if you're in a hurry
