I don't have the technology to do that for you... I do have a spare Popcorn Trail PT if you want it.

I'll save some money and maybe we can make a deal. Maybe next year? I'm already set for Xmas bought some Horrorclix stuff some Monsters that are hard to get by now days.

Also I saw some pics of card sleeves but they where more like plastic cases instead of just sleeves. Looked like hard plastic
I've been meaning to find out the product's name so I can properly find it online. And will the standard size is enough for the Nightmares Set since those cards are a bit bigger.

We can certainly make a deal after the festivities. I also have hard plastic sleeves for cards I will bundle in. Let me know when you're ready and have a great Christmas.

Popcorn Trail is awesome. Wasn't lucky enough to get my hands on any freakshow boosters when they were around so i lack the plots from the set. Hmm hard plastic sleeves, could you mean these? They are excellent for storing collectibles, and they can't bend, so your cards can't be possibly harmed, but they can be a little pricey if you want to store cards in them by the hundreds. I am not sure about the size though, i remember that a "Magic the Gathering" card could fit inside.

They sure look pricey I hope they are a nice investment in a long term.

I've been having a hard time trying to Laminate the maps
Is there other way to protect them like some kind of plastic sleeves that size?

So I found a place where I could get my maps laminated but they told me there is a chance that some might get ruined. This is getting too complicated...any ideas suggestions??

I have 2 copies of each map. I have a gaming copy and a set that don't see the light of day....weird right?
You could scan them and print them off yourself? It would save your prized possessions a little.

Finally Laminated my maps!!! I'm happy and calmed that my maps are now preserved. It wasn't cheap but truly worth it, they look so fancy Also I wanted to share what I did with my Victim Tokens, I covered them in clear liquid acrylic resin to protect them too. I gave each Victim Token 3 layers each side takes a lot of time, you have to wait for each side to dry and repeat the process, again worth it too. What I like best is that it gives them more of a "Solid Gaming Piece" feel because it's thick and sturdy unlike the fragile carton they originally have. Did that too with the Hindering Terrains and Portals They may look too reflective but that's only the camera, they look wonderful playing and feel good too. The result is long lasting Horrorclix for years to come. I truly recommend you all to find what suits you best to preserve your Horrortresures.

Amazing indeed. Did it cost a lot for every individual map?

Amazing indeed. Did it cost a lot for every individual map? Depends The place I took them charged the same amount for 5 maps as they would have for 1 because they work in industrial quantities, so they game me a "minimum" price. And I asked for the thickest caliber, since most of the laminating machines work with 3m, 5m and 10m. I took the 10m; actually I don't think using the 10m was necessary the 3m or 5m would do just fine. Mine definitely got heavier But there are places they give you individual prices and can range from $3.00 to $5.00 each. You'll have to do some research in your area since there are schools and libraries that can laminate even cheaper. Also make sure they can do the big maps (24 x 16) like the Stephen Bros Carnival Map. Heavy duty laminating machines can do up to (25 x ---). Again it's definitely worth it, I was going to buy some pretty awesome Horrorclix figures but the laminating thing postponed that. But I'm really happy and at easy with the results.

I want to share with you my brothers a cool little trick for FIXING BENT FIGURES. I know some of you already know this old trick and I if you don't and you are like me a bit eccentric and perfectionist you'll love this. We all have some figures that look crooked and bent, to me that was a major turn off so here is the solution to those Monsters. You will need: 1- Hot water 2- Icy water 3- Bent Monster Atena is one of my favorite Monsters so Fritz Lang "Metropolis" I have to like her, but her sword was all messed up (notice how I wrote "was" ) and my Playboy Monster was looking down and fell everytime for a tiny bump it was such a drag, had to pick her up constantly during battles and other Monsters whose weapons looked funny instead of intimidating. So what you have to do is very simple: 1- First remove the Click Base you don't want to get that part wet. 2- Dip the bent part or the whole figure (if necessary) into the Hot Water, just enough for it to get soft and loose. 3- Gently bend the Monster or weapon into the desired position (I recommend bent it a bit more to compensate a natural reshaping later); and holding it like that dip into the Icy Water for a minute. 4- There you go! dry your monster and let it sit for a while. This is a really safe process, it doesn't damage the paint and you can repeat as much times as necessary. Most likely you will have to do it a couple of times or not. Check out my Atena's sword now it looks ready for action! Even the Playboy Monster now is free to stand without dropping forward, this one I feared it would not work but It turned out it was the best one to reshape. Look at the comparison before and after. Again you might want to do it a couple of times and remember to bend a bit more from the desired position in the Icy Water in case the plastic reshapes it's self; it will compensate this way.

Recommendation:
After you finish the process put your figures in the fridge, not freezer a couple of hours for it to adapt to it's new shape, if you put them in a place where the temperature is kinda high they might re-bent.

Another way to fix bent figures is use a hair dryer. Set it to its highest setting and heat up the part of the model you wish to correct. After a few seconds, the model will be maluable and you can hold the model in the new position you want it to be in. Hold it for a few seconds and it will cool quickly....setting into a fixed model.

I have done the hot water trick before with some D&D miniatures, luckily i didn't have to use it with my Horrorclix. The hair dryer option is a good alternative indeed!
