They're very tempting...
22p each for British LAFfers. (Plus post I suppose)

I got one just the other day to try on for size in my CRotA game. A bit to garish and crudely painted for my taste and a material which is impossible to paint.

Mind, seeing them in numbers like that make me think they may just work...

I should perhaps add a disclaimer about the price. That is, my local shop may not have charged me the full mark-up, me being a "regular." I know he seemed to think the full retail mark-up would be too steep. I told him not to short change himself and charge the proper price but I am not sure if he did or if he did indeed give me some sort of a break. That's why I was being a bit vague about the price.

YMMV as they say.

Not sure if there is a bulk discount...I could try ordering some more and pass them on if people are interested. Might take a while though...

A bit to garish

I think Flamingos ARE garish!  :D

I should also note that I am the guy that bought the Mega Miniatures flamingo mould. Somehow I think the metal cost per bird will be higher than the Safari birds...and they still have to be painted!  lol

Won't know a price though until I get around to sending the mould to RAFM.

They look suspiciously like the ones I am using for my 15 mm collection - yes, a little large.  But do you know what's in the water they've been drinking!?
