Hi, I have a pretty large Dark Eldar Army and I am kinda struggling how to transport them...

I have considered a couple of options such as:
GW case
Battlefoam
Kr multi
Just Pluck and Pick

For the GW case i can't seem to find one to fit vehicles such as the Raider and Ravager.

Battlefoam and KR look really nice but they are way too expensive and shipping becomes like 30% of the sale.
I don't know if anyone retails in Toronto, so it would be nice if someone could tell me.

Lastly, the pluck and pick foam seems very versatile...the only store I have found is an online store and is selling at an Ok price but with shipping becomes expensive.
So if anyone knows where I can get some in Toronto then please let me know
Thanks.

Check out www.meeplemart.com. Steve carries all of the army cases, is located in Toronto, and can special order just about anything. Great prices, great customer service, and since you're located in Toronto you can save on shipping by picking up in store.

KR Multicase, on their website down in the bottom right corner, says free delivery on everything, even when set to Canada - I also ordered a case, custom cut for my army, in Ottawa, and it didn't seem to add any, either. Are you sure you're looking at the right site? http://www.krmulticase.com/default.aspx is I believe their home page and the one I used.
I can't speak to the quality of the case (it should come in this week), but I can give some impressions when it comes in. It did seem pretty cheap, though, at least compared to Battlefoam, even with all the custom cutting.

I looked at Meeple mart as well though,
My army is pretty large and I don't want to spend $200+ to buy transport for them...

I looked at KR multicase, shipping might not be expensive but the amount of models it can carry doesn't seem optimal for DE, like 1 Raider Ravager set takes up everything...

I know places like this exists, but it's still pretty expensive...

To be honest, I was looking at all this a couple weeks ago, and for a decent-sized army you're not likely to find much for less than 200. The Games Workshop bigger sized cases are cheaper, but I've never been a big fan of the tank foam setup instead of cutting straight out of foam or custom cut by the manufacturer, especially when you have stuff like 'nids (and Dark Eldar, for some stuff that I've seen) that sticks out in odd ways, ie spikes, claws, etc.
My KR case came today, and as promised, I can give my first impressions of it, for what it's worth.
First, a warning - while the shipping was free, there was a duty on it of 30 bucks, though I would imagine that's going to be on any bag you order from outside of Canada (which is going to be most, if not all of them).
The case I got was the Aquila 2 (Correction: I got the Kaiser 2). It's quite big, bigger than I was expecting for the price, and a little bulky. I went with the foam trays that were pre-cut to specific tyranid units, as as stated, with all the claws and scythes and things, I want them to be shaped properly.
It seems like a pretty solid bag - the card bits are nice and solid, everything seems to be well-made so the zippers won't break in a week or something silly like that.
The foam trays are cut well, and fit most of my minis as they're supposed to. The only exceptions were a couple of my tyranid warriors, who were posed in kind of odd ways, and so were a little big to fit into the warrior spots, but I managed to fit them both into a spare carnifex slot. A few of the minis stick out of their slots a bit (most notably the genestealers, even in the deeper troop tray), but they still feel protected - the underside of the layer above keeps them cushioned perfectly well. As a nice touch, the outside and lid pockets have enough room for my BRB (the thicker 6e one, even), templates, dice, and codex.
All in all, I'm happy with it.
If you have any other questions about it, I can answer them. Long story short, though, I don't think you're gonna get a whole lot cheaper than 200-ish, but considering the cost of the minis, as well as the time and effort put into building em and painting em, it's probly worth the money to buy a good transport.

the Aquilla 2 is pretty small though, how much does it fit?

I might be looking into Fedrr or whatever they're called, fairly cheap and pretty large bags...

The only problem is that their Tank Foam might not fit those tall 3-4" Raiders and Ravagers without stand.

The tank foam is only 2.4" which should not be enough so I am still debating...

I might as well just make a tower case like tablewars' case...

Sorry, I meant the Kaiser 2, not the Aquila. Got myself mixed up.
For reference, though, I got spaces for A Swarmlord or Hive Tyrant (without wings), 2 Carnifex, 2 Trygons or Mawlocs, 9 Tyrant Guard/Hive Guard/Broodlord(/Zoanthropes, who aren't listed on the piece's description as they have their own type of slot, but fit well, if with some extra room, into the same slots meant for the Hive Guards/BroodLords), 7 Warriors (3 slots meant for bigger-weaponed variants, 4 for smaller weapons, though even the bigger slots didn't quite fit my oddly-posed warriors), and 3 trays of 18 troops (with one troop tray being a bit deeper to accommodate genestealers). Admittedly, I went a bit light on troop-space, but as they fit into standard troop trays, I figured I could expand with the Citadel troop cases later as buy more little dudes, and so made sure I had the room for my bigger stuff first.
Final cost, by the way, ended up being 178 dollars and some cents (169.99 listed on the site is USD), free shipping and 30 dollars and some cents in duty fees, and it took about 3 weeks to get here (I ordered it 3 weeks ago today, it came in last night), 2 weeks of which was them manufacturing it (as I got the cut trays and they had to make it). It actually shipped last Friday, which considering the fact that both countries (it shipped from in the US) had a statutory holiday this week, was pretty good.

Ok, Thanks...
But too bad for Dark Eldar they don't have good venom trays...their trays only allow 4 venoms and it takes up a lot of space...

thanks anyways...

Ah. Well, best of luck, then. Battlefoam does have the option to design your own tray layouts, so you might be able to find a better shape there. They're more expensive, though, IIRC.
