What is the best transport to haul drops pods to and from games. Beside battle foam I also have 13 pods

While I’m not terribly familiar with Batlefoam, I think this is one place where they are significantly better then KR Multicase, which is normally my preference.

Due to the size limits of the KR system, you can only fit 4 pods into a box. Due to battlefoam’s ability to have deeper trays, they can get them in standing upright, which results in a lot less wasted space.

I’m not sure about other manufacturers. Pods are just going to be a bear to move around. Big and awkward. Big flat container and a few towels might be the best option.

Depends on the budget. Cardboard boxes and newspaper work fine if you're really strapped for cash and you aren't picky.

I have a friend that found a plastic tote the exact height of the pods and big enough for 12 to stand in it, lined it with soft foam, and has each pod in a bubble wrap bag thing. When everything is in there they're snug enough that they don't wiggle around, and I can't imagine them taking any damage from a fall. The only downside is that it's a giant flat tote and has to be carried separately to everything else (doesn't have a strap and only has handles for carrying it flat). Not sure where he got all the materials, would obviously take some measuring and testing.

I wrap mine in T-shirts and carry them in my messenger bag along with the rule books and water.
I only carry 3 and the bag bulges as a result, but Drop Pods have a pretty sturdy shape with nothing easily broken anyways.
