Ok so I was convinced that I was going to buy a Battlefoam carrying case today. I went onto their store and proceeded to put these into my shopping cart:
Warmachine/Hordes Wheeled carrying case (Standard Loadout)-$206
Storm Strider Foam-$22
Stormwall Foam-$22
Total $250
This would give me pretty much all the room I needed for my armies and a little extra for expansion.
Oh but then I saw the little button that said calculate shipping so I went ahead and did so:
Shipping $73.50... ... ... ... ...
...
...
Slow boat...
...
...
Yeah, I think I'll go get another Sabol Army Transport Platoon to carry my Colossal and Stormwall in.

If you call them, they will give you a deal on shipping since you are overseas. Thats what I always did.

I may have to check into that man. All I know is when I saw that price, I wanted to punch my monitor.

Whenever you feel like punching your monitor, punch a space marine instead.

I'll punch a Hive Tyrant. Now that he's been nerfed I'm not so scared. Until the 6th edition codex comes out at least.

Okay so I took Andrew's advice and called them up, shipping was 21 bucks, and I got a 15% discount for being at an FPO AP address. So the total of my order was just over $300 and I got:
Warmachine bag with Standard Load out
P3 Bag empty
Stormwall half foam
Storm Strider half foam
X Board Fury transport tray (for game days when I just don't want to move all those models one at a time).
Because I spent over $250 (which isn't hard) I got a free Battlefoam Stacker Box which will be useful for putting those old trays in or something, I don't know.
Oh and one pot of Cygnar Blue Base paint. Mine is all used up.
So yeah it was expensive, but I'm looking forward to getting the product. I'll do a review of it when I receive it and post it up for you all.

So exactly three weeks after my order I received a HUGE box from Battlefoam LLC. Let me tell you guys that when I say you are paying for quality, that is an understatement. I've been able to fit most of my Warmachine in the bag with a few slots here and there to spare. There will be a little cutting work I'll need to do because of the odd model here and there, but for the most part they'll all fit. You guys will see this weekend, but I like it A LOT. At this point I'm pretty sure I'll be getting the other bag (large Privateer bag with wheels) as well mainly due to the fact that I don't want to carry this big/heavy ass thing on my back/shoulder. I also got the X Board Fury which I'll post up a review for, probably on Handcannon Online. More to come!

See? Once of these days, Eric will start listening to me...
Andrew - "Dude, Eric, you got to check out this battlefoam case, this crap is awesome! I think im switching over."
Eric - "Battlefoam? NEVER! Death to battlefoam! Praise the Emperor!!!"
Andrew - "Just check it out... look at the little pouch for the rule books and dice..."
Eric - "I said PRAISE THE EMPEROR!!! You Xenos loving hooker!"
At least that how I think the conversation went...

Replace "Emperor" with "Army Transport" and I think it will be about right. My Army Transport actually ripped at the shoulder strap, which is very cool, because the shoulder strap on the BF case goes all the way around the bag. That and the fact that they ship via SLOW boat now and their cases take about 3 months to arrive. I'm not bagging (pun) on AT, they're a great case company but I do really like the Battlefoam bags I just got.
