I am intrigued by them, the alluminum ones look nice and roomy. Loaded with foam they are half the price of equivilently spaced battlefoam. Does anyone here have a review of them or own any of them?

I have a kr aluminium case and it's great.But i'll go over the pro's and cons

Pros:
Not to heavy.
really tough;I dropped it down a flight of stairs the other day and everything was fine.
Cost effective.
Has a code lock which i love.

Cons:
The foam is very soft , if i was going to go from scratch i would buy a kr case but use figures in comfort foam.As i prefer the more sturdy foam
The foam looks poor, because it serves it's purpose but theres load of excess glue around the edges.

Overall , good case and compared to how much you would spend on an equivalent battlefoam case , totally worth it.

Personally, I like the soft foam - you don't have to worry about swords and things sticking out of the mini's compartment.

I dislike the aluminium cases because I don't like pulling out piles of trays to get to the stuff in the bottom. I prefer the cardboard multi-cases put into the kaiser travel cases.

Got a couple of the card ones, they were cheapish but i'm not sure how long they will last the hinge on the lid isn't great. The pick and pluck foam is okay i got 2 exorcists and 4 rhinos in one case.

thanks for the feedback, so far i am sold on them, the fact they come with foam is a pretty huge deciding factor for me.

The hinge lasts just fine.


(to the left is a Kaiser 3 and a Kaiser 4 - I like that the bags can be folded flat when you're not using them)

i have the customiseable card one, its really good for the vehicles, and has larger terminator size slots.

you can just buy an extra foam though, which is good, as GW make you buy the whole thing

Very cool I am waiting for the us factory to be opened and I think I will order. Thanks all.
