Looks great.  Very pleased Battle Foam has produced this, now I just need to bite the bullet and pay the crazy shipping for it.

 

 

i was super excited about this until I saw the economy shipping was the same price as the foam.  

 

 

 

I just a shipping estimate from the battlefoam site and noticed no change in the price. If they are charging more than $10 in shipping I think that kills the price point for most gamers. Specially when I did a search for 1 1/4 inch foam. You can by a 54' by 72' sheet for $20-25 depending on the depth you may want. That would allow you to cut out 16, 11 by 15 sections for trays.

 

 

yeah, Romeo has been getting a little "proud" of his product.  With the almost 50% price hike on all his foam products and all games that have signed up with him you would think he would at least do a flat rate shipping.   

 

"Proud" of his product -- that is a little disingenuous don't you think? I think he has every right to be proud of his company and what they provide. Yes his shipping has increased, but I think that has more to do with the shippers than himself -- and remember, while the foam is light weight, it is the size of the package that often drives the price as much as weight. General price increases are a by-product of the economy right now. He works hard for his money and delivers a superior product, let's cut him some slack and be happy that we no longer have to pluck foam.

 

Cheers!

 "proud of (product)" is slang in some areas to mean that something is a little pricey

I also picked up the Plano 5231.  I'm also looking to get the double-sided Plano close to the launch of "Wave 2" -- mainly for general storage now, and using the 5231 as a "squad transport".

 

i am mostly posting this to bump the thread and to encourage the lucky few who own Slave 1 or the falcon to post on their transport solutions. Namely, how do these enviable individuals carry large tie fighter fleets and their larger ships too?

Would the "blue Plano box" hold both bigger ships, roughly 20 Wave 1 fighters, the tokens, and a little more space to spare???

 There's an ongoing discussion here as well.

I picked up a couple of 5231s from Amazon.

I wasn't happy with how the plastic models would move around during transport, so I carved out sections of the original molds and laid them into each tray.  This also provides room to place a ship base underneath each ship (mostly - not quite enough room under the TIE Advanceds).

Like so:http://tinyurl.com/bvexrwa

This is what I keep my stuff in. Since I took the picture I switched the spaces for the tokens and ship bases since I found it easier have the tokens in the front when I had to grab one I needed. As it is now I can fit everything I have (minus the pilot cards) into the case with room for more ships. In the top of the case I have one of the ziplocks the single ship componants come in. I use one of those for all the pilot cards and the manuevers chart for each of the ship types. I kept a fifth extra zoplock for the Kessel Run (or any other one squad all day/night event) so when I go to play in that I can bring just the pilot cards and maneuvers charts I need for the game and leave the rest at home.

It seems the link I posted a couple message above isn't available if you aren't logged into facebook.

Hopefully this one is more public: http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=3478481501226&l=1e3417a164

I keep my tokens and templates in a plano tacklebox that I got at Walmart for $4.  I just ordered a battlefoam c4 case with a custom cut tray for ships.

How do you put photos on here? I have found a storage box readily available and cheap in Tesco's with compartments which the packaging the expansions come in fit perfectly and with a little trim the packaging for the core set models fit perfectly in to too. With a number of smaller compartments for tokens/cards etc or even more models. I have got 14 models in mine! But I wish to show you all the photo's but can't seem to upload them onto here!

Thanks to the recent sale at Amazon on expansions, I am about to have 21 models to store. The container I had original picked up when I only had 7 models to start may not be up for the task. Any recommendations are appreciated. I may just move some of the tokens into a carrying pouch instead of the container.

In the reply text box, there is a tool bar at the top.  At the far right is a little picture frame with a house and sky on it.  Click that and you should be able to hotlink to an uploaded photo somwhere.

For eldiablito:

I use a Stanley 14266 Tool organizer XL. I used to use them for the WotC Star Wars Miniatures game, but I made a big box to sell to coolstuffinc, so I made some room. These were about $23 at Home Depot, although they may be more now. Here is my "fleet":

cards are in deck boxes. the 2 on the bottom are ship and upgrade cards. the orange deck boxes are individual damage decks.
