Looking for Supers
« on: August 22, 2018, 04:22:20 AM »
I am in New Zealand and currently struggling to find a company to buy Supers and Villains from.

I've checked out
Reaper Chronoscope [ But postage was worth more than the order I was placing.  US reaper]
Old Glory Super figs [ But postage was worth more than the order I was placing.  US ]
Crossover Miniatures [But postage was worth more than the order I was placing.  US]

You see a pattern forming here???? its real hard to buy minis when your paying $30USD for the minis and then $45 to $75USD in shipping costs.

So if anyone out there knows of an Australasian supplier/stockist etc can you let me know.

Cheers

As it happens I’m in Australia on holiday at the moment and stumbled on Mind Games in Melbourne who stock Reaper. Maybe they could help you out?

Reaper has (or had?) setup an AU Office. Mainly for the purpose of fulfilling their next (in process) Kickstarter. Order through them?  (Edit: maybe it was sort of a joint venture with Victoriaminiatures? But maybe that has expired...   :-X )

I've checked Mightyape NZ but their range is pretty limited.

table top empires do not have the Super hero range from Reaper.

thx for the advice.

I'm in NZ as well, I find I wait some time to purchase from Reaper and take advantage of their free shipping (I think it is a pretty hefty purchase though $100 AUD?)

 lol lol lol

I just did an order from Nobleknight getting the following:

My Sons Team:


My Team:


I also have some Modern soldiers from the Warlord sprue sale. Enough to make 10 henchmen for my team and some Soldiers and Agents for my Son as I got 16 female survivors as well.  So minions galore for both of us. I also ordered some gas masks from Anvil Industry so I can keep the mask theme for my force.

Will post pics as I get them done.

How hard is it to get Heroclix there? Most of my horde is repaints of Heroclix.

LGW,
 I know for a fact that there are a LOT of Aussies selling heroclix on eBay.  You might have some luck there.  It generally is easy (and affordable) to pick up odd lots of older heroclix that are a snap to convert into virutally any super-hero you can imagine.  I've got tons of 'chop shop fodder' myself.  Let me know if you have any trouble finding clix, but you should find some down in that area of Earth.  If you have trouble, let me know via PM--I wouldn't mind one bit just giving you a bunch to get you started.

@The Major

Thx for your reply.

At this stage I have ordered some minis to get us started... I'd consider some heroclix minis but my painting skills are rather lacking. And recently I have found some old Heroclix that I had removed from their bases some years ago. Even found a Batman mini...
I might do some repaints on the other non-Batman minis for my Daughter.. will post pics once everything Arrives.

Cheers

Awesome!  The girl in blue I believe is Jessica Jones.  But I could be wrong.  Love that Batman fig.

I think you're right, but the light blue should've been white.
