https://www.coolminiornot.com/shop/bases-2/cool-mini-or-not-base-system These are the same PVC bases from the recent kickstarter. Everything is up and ready for purchase. I dropped a bundle on more Tech bases for my Marines and some wood planks for my Malifaux gremlins. I can easily see making more purchases down the road. These are really great bases.

Not sure what you mean. Micro Art Studio small resin bases are €4.92 for five. That works out to USD $11.25 for 10. Granted 26 cents isn't an impressive savings (the dollar has been pretty strong lately) but the CMoN PVC bases are still cheaper. I guess shipping and import taxes would have to be factored in as well.

You better take another look at the pictures I posted. PVC shrinkage was factored in when the bases were converted over from resin and because of this the PVC inserts fit quite nicely into the HISP plastic base. As for wide stance models, there are pics of all three sizes with a AoBR Tactical Marine on them so you can figure out suitability with whatever you are thinking about using them with.

I do think they missed the boat in pricing the small ones. There's no real savings over Micro Arts 30mm bases, and the bases themselves have a noticeably smaller surface area to use due to PVC shrinkage. If you have wide stance minis, you might run into trouble
Yea, I'm regretting not checking with the discounters before ordering. Next time I'll not let my excitement get the better of me. Still, I ordered what I wanted and you can be certain I'll but them all to good use. 
Bossk_Hogg wrote:Maybe mine shrunk more than yours? All I know is that a normal insert for a 30mm base normally is about 25mm, mine were about 21mm. The 50mm insert was about 40mm. The lips on these bases are a fair amount bigger than other manufacturers, such as Secret Weapon, which results in a bit less surface area. I actually have the old dark age swamp base inserts and compared to the swamp bases they did for Wrath of Kings, they new ones are smaller as well. On many figs it wont be an issue, just on those wide stance ones, that extra 10-20% might make a difference. On things like the plank bases, its not an issue, but the ones with less overhang, it should be noted IMO.
You got a camera? I'd really like to see what you wound up with and the comparisons to other bases.

Some styles of inserts have overhang but none extend beyond the black HISP plastic base and that's is what the measurement is made from.
