I just assumed you were getting ready for a visit from @Crowley
the Chessex cases are just Flambeau V series boxes with custom foam and color. I buy the cases direct from Flambeau and my own foam and cut my foam to fit my figures. My cutting of the foam looks a little rough, but it works, and I can get the case/foam for about 2/5ths the cost of the Chessex case.
The V501 case is a medium sized case that is right between the V401 (the Chessex small) and the V701 (the Chessex Large) which I find great for the standard force size of many games.
What would I Google for the foam?
Thanks.
EDIT: Or do you just order foam from them and specify uncut?
Thanks Again.

The small Chessex case is only one layer of figs deep. If I remember right the 40, 56 and 80 are roughly twice as thick.

Let's see, I have either in hand or on the way.
3 Heroclix figures (I had to find something I could buy with the $5 virtual Visas I've gotten for filling out the Ohio Health Departments Covid surveys. They can't be used locally, they can't be transferred to Paypal and they can't be combined to purchase something more than $5.)
A new phone. Samsung Galaxy A51.
A one year service card for the phone.
A 512GB MicroSD card for the new phone (has the 128GB that used to be in my old phone).
A 1TB MicroSD card for my laptop. Both come with the adapters to use in SD card slots.
A water and shock resistant case for the new phone.
Some D&D minis Thri-kreen (6; two poses of 3 each) and 2 Shaitans from Pathfinder Battles.
And both microSD cards are defective so I'm going to send them back. I just have to figure out how to print the return labels when I don't have direct access to a printer. And no, ebay won't let me copy/paste it so I can put it on a thumb drive and print from that.
Both were off brand, learned my lesson. Going to buy name brand at a local store so if they need returned I won't have to deal with shipping them back.
I still need to acquire a belt holster for the new phone because of course it's longer than the old phone. 6.75" tall by 3.5" wide by 5/8" thick, including the case.

Does Chessex still make an 80 figure case? If they do it's the same size as the 40 and 56 cases, just has smaller holes in the two layers of foam.
I used to have several dozen of these. This was back before there were any other cases (other than the one GW made).
I miss those cases, and all the minis that used to be in them...

I think it's off-white as it does not sear my retinas with brightness.
I just wish there was a way to hide the whatever it is on the right (or left, if toggled there) so there wouldn't be all that dead space to the side.

I'm embarrassed to say that I never even thought about going to the product page to see if that info was there.

That looks awesome!!
I really wish there were giant jumping spider minis in a couple of sizes.
One that fits on a 25mm base, and on a 40mm base, and on a 60mm base and maybe one more on an even bigger base.

Tuesday, March 16: Are there any Kickstarters that you passed on, that you now regret not being a part of?
Siege of the Citadel 2....I really love the Warzone/Mutant Chronicles setting. Even though it still hasn't fulfilled yet, I don't think it will be available at retail either.
The Chaos Wars one where they rereleased the Troglodytes. I had to back out of that one and haven't been able to buy them at retail yet.

Except for the colors that looks an awful lot like the bug things from Monster Hunter. Milla Jovovich's latest movie.

That model has way too much metal for Dark Sun.
But it does look awesome.

P65 was a line that had more lead content so the minis would be cheaper.
Discontinued a while ago.

The GW US store says that it's In Stock.

Legionnaires of various fantasy species would be cool, especially Bugbears and Lizard People.

Actually, that model is split between both sprues.
The other half is second from the top on the right side of the right sprue.
I don't remember ever seeing that set parted out for bits and I regularly trawl the bits sellers for weapon bits.
Also, since the entire set is $25 it might just be easier to buy the set then sell the other models to a bit seller (or noble knight).

I don't see a hilt on that?
But it does look like a scabbard.
I'm gonna have to get this guy to convert into a Sith.
EDIT: And a Gloom Wraith as a heroic force user.
