Just placed another order with Tim over at Miniature Heroes and wanted to let all non us folks know that he's about to place his next Reaper order.
I got in there quick for some great accessories and minis for my zombie games so looking forward to getting those.
Anyway, be a good way to avoid reaper's postal charges for europe and minimum order for free packaging.

Reaper has some real treasures in their line...too bad they are consistantly good...

Hi!
Another good source of Reaper miniatures in the UK is Spirit Games:
http://www.spiritgames.co.uk/ (http://www.spiritgames.co.uk/)
Ive ordered loads from them in the past and their service is excellent! They dont have the Chronoscope miniatures but do have all the fantasy and CAV stuff...

I might be wrong, and at the risk of repeating myself but if these are cast in the UK they are not as good as those cast in the US.
This is what I had heard, thought it might be "Urban Myth" until I bought from US stockists. Now I only buy direct from US or US-sourced supplies like miniature heroes.
Now, I used to buy from Minifigs and I don't know if Spirit Games obtain stock from them or direct from Reaper in the US. Just a note of caution. :)

I think he imports them form the US I have a werewolf scout on order :D and he said as much in the reply, the space cowboy he sent through was a cracking sculpt so I am almost certain they are fomr the US
-
Yes I can confirm that everything Reaper in the Miniature-Heroes shop is direct from Reaper in the USA.
Unfortunately this does mean it takes me a while to get things that aren't in stock. Usually about 5 weeks from the date of order, and I like to order on the 15th of each month. However having just suffered a 5 day internet outage I'm all behind but the order will be going off very soon.
Regards

Tim- can't recommend his service enough! Can't wait for my Ghoul Queen.It may be a wait but a lot better than being stung by Royal Mail for overseas packages. >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:(

What are you going on about??!??! ??? Who said they were cast in the uk? I said he was placing his next order from Reaper US direct.

He was referring to the fact that Minifigs cast some Reaper lines in the UK, possibly inferior in quality, when OTHER sources were mentioned.
Very obvious if you read all the thread.

Oh... you mean a diversion in the original thread... right. ;)

I'm sorry to hear of all the trouble you guys have in getting Reaper figures. I can get them here at my local store. I'd be happy to trade if someone's in dire need of a fix. ;D

I have bought Reaper Miniatures from Minifigs and also from the USA. I can't tell the difference in quality of casting.

To get this back on target:
i) This is a UK and EU supplier of Reaper US (Texas) figures
ii) He's a bloody nice chap.
iii) Go order stuff if your from this side of the pond.
Nuff said.

Seconded. I am in the process of my third order of Reaper figures from Tim and he has been nothing but helpful, accomodating and efficient. He ordered the specific miniatures that I was looking for that he wasnt already stocking and without him I wouldnt own any Reaper figures.
His EU shipping costs are very reasonable too.
Top marks :)
-
I stand with the Commander in recommending the afore mentioned company as an excellent source of reaper figs in the UK.

As Svenn said, read the thread. (Hey, that rhymes!)
I buy my reaper figures from Tim too. :)

Thank you all for your kind words, and for your orders too.
And just as a little heads up, I hope to have Shadowforge Miniatures in stock and ready to sell toward the end of April.
Thanks

Oooh! Oooh! That means I might get mine tomorrow (didn't come today, damned postal service) but I got an email t'other day saying he was going to post them... I await with anticipation...
-
Well I placed my first order yesterday, pretty much due to this thread. Typically with it being me I got a weird error message after paying but the Paypal confirmations etc say it's all gone through fine.
Tim, if you read this, I sent you an email with the error message copied in. I'd appreciate it if you could just confirm the order came through okay (1796)?

As you know from our other emails it did come through fine. Its also peen processed and dispatched so should be with you tomorrow. Sometimes the cart throws up a error message for no real reason, sorry.
And just on a slight bending of the topic, if I imported Reaper paints would there be much demand?
Thanks
Tim

I do indeed, cheers :)
I've never tried them and already have lots of paint so I'm not likely to buy any but the people who actually like painting might.
-

I'd love to try some. Can't say I'd buy lots though. Depends on how good they are. They come in Triads don't they? This is always helpful.
Oh, and of course the cost is a big factor. Especially as I already have lots of paint. ;)

Tim, may I take a moment to add to the positive words.
Your customer service is top-notch in my view. In a recent order you maintained clear communication and offered options with view to a delay - which is exactly what I want from a retailer. I can't praise you enough.
I just wish certain other online retailers were as professional, friendly and reliable. I will be buying more from Miniature Heroes.
Thanks agian Tim. Leon.
-
Thank you Leon, its much appreciated :)
But as for Reaper paints, yes they come in triads, or singles.
I haven't tried any myself either, but I would imagine they are of good quality as you don't get far in this business selling rubbish.
Just depends on how customs treats paint for import duty etc. I'll investigate further.

My order arrived this morning. Excellent service, thanks very much.

Theres nothing like reviews from satisfied shoppers!
Going to eye up their ranges and see what I 'need'.
