Reaper order through Miniature Heroes: Tim's restocking now!
« on: March 17, 2010, 01:06:48 PM »
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.

Good luck

Hi!

Another good source of Reaper miniatures in the UK is Spirit Games:

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...

Another good source of Reaper miniatures in the UK is Spirit Games:

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

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. >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:(

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.
I don\'t know whether to be a good example or a horrible warning.

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.

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.
