Hello good fellows. I am going to move to another country and I really want to take my minis with me. I will travel by plane. Are there any tips and trick that you can share with me. Much appreciated!

Could you rent a storage box / post box where you move to and sent them there before you leave? I never used such a service though.

You could also check how the new country handles parcels. In mine they don’t sent them to your home and all parcels are always in a post-office / supermarket who handles the parcels. Allowing you to have them sent there and they hang on to the parcels for up to two weeks.

Could you also not pack them with the rest of your items, or is everything in suitcases on the plane? Like do you plan on buying all furniture or kitchen stuff there?

I am moving into a dormitory and its already furnished. I forgot to add that I am only packing clothes and essentials. I thought putting my minis into suitcases or sending them via post but I am anxious about them getting broken.

Hm I don’t think there is a 100% guaranteed safe way of transportation. How does the Uni (I presume because of dormitory) handle parcels? If they hold onto them for a while you can sent it there.

I would also consider bringing maybe only the bare minimum / only those who appear to be least likely to break (fewest small things that stand out like spears, flags, long thing weapons etc.)

You can also just buy a whole army there :X would provide excellent procrastination opportunities.

I might just leave them be and buy when I arrive.
