Patience my Lord General all good things come to those who wait. We all must realize we're not visiting McDonald's or calling the Pizza hut for a cheese Pizza for instant delivery and I'm sure you've heard of The Slow Boat from China
I have been buying from BTSoldiers on ebay for most of my ACW stuff. Still some sets out there that I would like to have. I feel the ftustration in regards to buying the plastic Spartans. I have been resisting. But patience is wearing thin. I hear the warning time and time again. Yet I am drawn as a moth to the flame
It would be nice to have some better indication of what the issues were so that one could do their own estimate. That might save some Ebay money.
I caved the other day and bought my first single metal Spartan. I was determined not to touch these in metal (due to cost of another range of figures), but the wait for plastic is just toooooooo long
It must be a clever business tactic of RC's
That said, the figure is awesome (and 60mm
I need a plastic fix, quick, as I'm already starting to look at the other Spartan sets already out there.

but could imagine the dio set-up he had on his table that night. Soon after another guy bought 18 ACW sets, gives our US froggers some idea how difficult it is to get hold of any Conte sets this side of the pond plus as I have mentioned before any Conte set is rarely if ever sold below cost in the UK even on ebay where they always go above top dollar. I let Joe(Lt) know as well that he also had all three of the Rocco Zulu sets at approx £138 ($264 US) for Rorke's Drift Set 1 which now have to be as rare as hens teeth Stateside let alone in the UK.

I was at Jackson's stall at the show on Saturday (the only UK dealer in Conte for the benefit of our US colleagues) contemplating buying a couple of sets, which eventually I did. A guy in front of me with his son (who was a little uninterested) bought 40 sets -yes 40 sets of metal Spartans/Persians. Total cost made me wince
A personal note on the Conte sale I have ordered 3 lots received 1 with 2 still in transit and without doubt it's an excellent deal when compared with what we have to pay here in the UK for any of the Conte series and even with shipping costs added (thanks to the current $-£ rate) Appears from comments on the threads that I was fortunate that he had the sets I was after and that sale is still on!

AWI in plastic, mounted normans, Athenians, and what ever happened to the Horns of the Buffalo? They had pictures of all the sets and i think prices.
That is odd, I spoke to them in March and they had very little stock on the Spartans and only most of the Persians. Do you have her email or is it on the site?
