    If we could order 10 sheets of 2inch pink foam we would do it for Wargames con. Does anyone have pricing on something like that?

    After reading this I have decided that the movie "Pineaple Express" should redo one of its quotes from:

    "But if you do something heroic then you'll come back as like an eagle or a dragon, or Jude Law."

    To:

    "But if you do something heroic then you'll come back as like an eagle or a dragon, or Nick Rose."

    Depending on the price, I'd hop on the order for a sheet of 2" foam.

    Nick, there was a thread a couple of years back on AMM about ordering the 2" foam(maybe some one on here will remember), I think Chris D was involved. I believe it was Lowe's. They would only order it in batches of 10 or more and would not stock it, special orders only. It had to be ordered through the contractor department. I'm in for 2 sheets.

    Let's get the prices and then go from there because I may want some 2" also.

    Does anybody else find it odd, by the way, that the information age has led to language becoming an oblique and imprecise tool where even the most straightforward phrasing is pored over with chicken entrails and bone tossing to divine the true meaning?

    Yes I was involved with that, yes its special order only. The hard sell is you have to order a pallets worth. Some one will have to see what that price is now, because this was way back before everything went up in price. 2 inch thick at the time was the thickest available. Good luck, this wont be an easy chore.

    I will and I guarantee the price per sheet will be less than Amazon.
