Title: Superfigs in the UK
Post by: Orctrader on 05 June 2008, 12:30:15 PM

Who sells these besides Leisure Games?  (One I was interested in is out of stock)

Or is it cheaper to just buy direct from the US?

Westwind are selling their stock off cheaply.

Gamers Guild in Redhill stocks them (I think).

I have a meeting this week and this will be one of the topics. I'll let folks know if we can get anything hammered out.

Thanks for your interest!

Well, I talked to my partners at OG, and the real hold-up on this is the incredible backlog of orders and casting they are currently dealing with. I will see what I can do to help moves things along, but we'll likely not have any positive movement until after Historicon in the U.S. this July.

Thanks for being patient.

Westwind definately still have them for sale and some are on sale at present. I take it he is selling off his current stock?

Thanks.  Managed to get the one I wanted on Ebay.

Pity the full range is not easily available in the UK.  Neither Westwind nor Leisure Games seemed to stock them all.

I take it you mean OG UK here? If so, that will be very good news if they will stock the range  :D

Yeah, I'm looking for a European pusher as well... been burned by customs on orders from the US twice in 30 days  >:( Even with the weak Dollar, PostDanmark charges a ridiculous fee for sending a parcel to customs, and Customs charge a fee in addition to the import VAT, too  :'(

Westwind do a few but apart from that nadda. I want the civilian packs for my zed's but I keep looking at the old glory website, $17 per pack of ten which equates to about 87p a mini (which is nice) just postage sting I need to be mindful of.

The Royal Mail can too, but they are very lax and I have never been taxed, especially as their fee is horrendous.
