I just recently purchased a couple of the new plastic trygon kits, as well as other 'nids. I can't figure out how I can possibly safely transport them without either magnetizing everything (a pain) or using cubed foam. However cubed foam seems to be rather ridiculously expensive.

Anyone know where I can get sheets of cubed foam for a reasonable price?

The best I have been able to find is Hardigg cases, where I can get a super durable hard case with inside dimensions: 20.0" x 14.0" x 7.7" for about $125 US.

I feel like somebody has to make cubed foam in sheets, I just don't know where to look, and product searches pretty much just all turn up SKB, Hardigg, Pelican, and HPRC brands (which are all pretty much the same).

Wargaming solutions of similar size are priced in the same range, so I don't know why I wouldn't just get a nice indestructible case for the same money.

Randomly, does anyone have a picture of a Trygon in the Battlefoam "Trygon" foam slot? I'm not really sure how it fits in there unless you have to take it apart.


Sorry if this is the wrong place for this question.

Don't search for "cubed" foam. Look for "pluck foam" or "pick & pluck" foam.

Also, as I recall from a search I did for it a year or more back, it's crazy-expensive, and I was only able to find it in LARGE lots/amounts.

haha you guyz have been looking in the wrong places look on ebay heres a link its like 7$ us for a 4" sheet just magnatize the trigon to its base

http://cgi.ebay.com/Sabol-Designs-4-Inch-Army-Transport-Case-Foam-Tray_W0QQitemZ250585893743QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item3a58154b6f

That's not quite the same thing.

That's just a 4" (thick) Sabol tray, NOT a sheet of pluck foam. Also, it has an attached bottom, whereas a sheet of pluckfoam would not.

Take the plunge bow, go to battlefoam and get the pre-cut Trygon insert. Trust me, you'll be happy with the product you get.

I want to see how it fits in the slot before I just buy it, hoping that it is the right fit. It looks like I have to just throw the base in flat, and then the rest of it goes where? It doesn't fit like I would expect, lying on its side. I don't want a taken-apart trygon bumping into itself in transit and scraping off paint. Trygons will likely be the centerpiece of my army, I want them to stay in pristine shape if I can help it.

I have heard wonderful things about battlefoam, I was planning on buying from them until I saw the trygon shape, and now I am unsure.

Hence my newfound interest in general pluck foam. I could easily convert a toolbox into a case with a decent amount of 1" think cubed foam.

You could also buy mattress foam and cut the slots yourself. MUCH cheaper.
