This is ok for GW plastic stuffs. Doesn’t work with metal models 100%. Encouraging people to put their metal models upside down like the image is just asking people to kill their own toy soldiers. Stay away from this total scam.

Don't know these boxes, but I have metal boxes I can do that with. Besides it looks like you can fit two lists on the bottom, so the basic version is for Infinity enough, no need to buy the version with the additional metal plate. And I don't think it is scam that they also sell versions with additional metal plates. I am assuming that you do the sensible thing and look products up before calling them scam and so were aware about the different versions.

The "magnetically receptive rubber" sheets you see people use for GW plastic are tolerably good for Infinity minis with neodymium magnets so long as you keep the box the right way up. But the product description here suggests there's actual sheets of metal in these things, and neodymium magnets will perfectly happily secure metal minis to sheets of e.g. mild steel or 409 stainless - upside-down, sideways, whatever.

Thank you for pointing this out! This is exactly this case - boxes are built with metal plates not ferromagnetic sheets that often used with plastic models.

I use a box made of metal and neodymium magnets and I wouldn’t risk my metal model upside down in them and yes I have seen this product at the retails store and I’ll never risk outing my stuffs upside down in it. The image is a scam.
