Okay so I'm basically making a muscle costume and have no idea where to find some thick foam. I've obviously checked online but there must be somewhere cheaper.
I need a fair bit to make a large chest and gargantuan arms for Tager from Blazblue but due to being in Luton at the moment which is still a relatively new place even though I've been here a little while it's still a challenge to find this stuff and for a reasonable price.
So any recommendations?

The Dunelm Mill near me also sells it. |

Only thing is it's obvioulsy not as firm as foam XD __________________ ~smarter than your average idiot!~ |
