Lasertouch vs Battlefoam

By Thunder Darkwood, in X-Wing

I am quite tempted to pick up one of the laser touch bags, I really like the vet and transport trays, but the shipping is the same cost to send to me here in NZ as it would be to send to the USA.

When I was looking into cases, I was debating between LT and BF. I really liked the flexible ship cut-outs on the LT, but went with BF because I liked the expand-ability of the PACK system. My only real beef with the BF comes from the 'kits' that they sell. Other than the set for the 216, the other kits don't seem to allow for room for all of the bases, pilot cards, etc that you get with all the ships that the foam will hold. Consequently, I'd recommend either using their custom foam tool and getting exactly what you want. I now have a 216 with a PACK Plus riding under it for my standard gaming sessions and a 432 that houses my Tantive, my 2 transports, and all of my spare gear.

Regarding tokens/templates, I have template sets from Daft Concepts, Team Covenant, Cog-o-Two, and Applied Perspective. My favorites are the Cog-o-Two and the Team Covenant sets. It's worth noting that the quality of all four sets are fantastic; I just happened to like the way light plays of the particular acrylic that Cog-o-Two and Team Covenant use. For the standard tokens, I went with Daft Concepts and have been thrilled with how they look. Daft does not make tokens for bombs/cloak/etc. So, I'm still looking for a source for those. Carlos at Mechanical Warhorse is putting some together for me and I'll report back how they come out. I guess to round out this comment, I'll add that I've been using a Corsec Engineering cloth mat and have been very happy with it. That graphic isn't quite as sharp as I was hoping for, but it's definitely a high quality item and I would purchase it again in hindsight.

Hope that helps.

A follow up to the LT bag is there has been some issues with delivery. Although the quality of the product is OK, my order actually had the wrong trays included, and no tokens. After 3 months, and multiple assurances that replacements are on the way - nothing has yet to arrive.
I've recently found out on FB groups that I am not alone in this regard, and there are people who after a month have yet to receive their order at all. Given the lack of customer service I would go BF.

Yeah, I have heard the same, which is odd because up until recently, his customer service was very good. Hopefully things can be resolved in a satisfactory manner in the end.
