Old Glory UK has some painted pictures on their site, but some ranges (e.g. Wars of Religon) have more than others

I've never bought anything from Old Glory but have considered doing so. The main issue I have is that it's really hard to find pictures of what they're selling that aren't the blurry naked ones they have on the website.

Well taking nice pictures of your products is an investment of time and money when you can't be sure this "internet" thing will take off.

I dunno. People these days seem so unwilling just to use their imagination. :)

Availability has probably been OG's greatest friend. Not suprisingly, it's main market has been the old Estados Unidos. The OG Army thang probably does make things cheaper there but does kind of lock folk into buying more of the same crap to realise the er... 'value'. OG: The Costco of wargaming.

Once you add overseas shipping any impulse towards the cheap and cheerful rapidly dissipates. Having found no suitable alternatives I contemplated buying OG's mounted US cavalry from their Pershing Expedition range for a while, as it's one of their better ranges and well there are no commercially available alternatives. Shipping costs rapidly burst that balloon.

Their approach of charging $85 flat rate international shipping, and offering any overcharge back as OG voucher is downright abusive.
Considered buying a few things from them over the last couple of years, but that insane policy means it's a no go

Oh wow. I didn't even get to that point but that is a very good second reason not to order from them. Especially because such a voucher is worthless when just trying out a company.

Bought a few over the years and mostly have been very disappointed with them, I won’t be buying anymore.

Old Glory? Just generally, poopy.

Old, bad, weird sculpts. Maybe awesome in the 1980s…

Avoidable today.
