Hello everyone,
I'm hoping my fellow armor buffs can help me out: Where do I order 1/35 figures from "TANK"? Please send answers/suggestions to:

Thanks in advance,

Hi

http://www.modelpoint.us/c-67-afv-figures-tnk.aspx

Just did a quick Google. There are more.

Maybe its time to suggest using a good search engine such as Google to people. I've found about 80% of web sites, suppliers I was interested in using this search engine.

It's free and easy to use.

Alan

Hey Alan!! Maybe Jim S should put a big glowing box around the upper righthand corner...surrounding the sites Google search function.....

I use it quite often when searching for an old/er topic....results vary, but it's there and available....peeps just gotta use it.

Hi Mike

Yes, I know I've used the one top right from time to time, but only to search this site funnily enough.

I've actually got the main Google site as my home page on my browser so I tend to use it from their more, and I like the options you can choose from the page also.

Of course if you click the Google logo on this armorama site it goes there also.

Hi Lincoln
I have ordered them from Colorado Miniatures in the past
http://www.coloradominiatures.com/
very good very fast reliable service. No connection to the company except as a customer.

try the following link http://shop.afvmodeller.com/customer/home.php

Check out Lincoln the original posters country of origin flag, hence the links to US sites

hi,

i've emailed TANK themsleves in the past with just this question and they recommended AFV Modeler [url=http://www.afvmodeller.com/[/url] as the best way of obtaining their products and they should know i guess

hope this helps

Thanks guys,
Just so y'all don't think I'm mentally lacking, my employer frowns upon "Googling" for things not work related. And, since I'm here at work...and I had a few free minutes...I figured I'd hit up some fellow modellers.
Once I get home...I don't even want to LOOK at a computer, much less play on one.

Thanks for the info guys.

Hi Simon

No offence and as you say Tank told you but I don't know about them knowing the best way, maybe because you are in the UK they quoted it best to buy from AFV Modeller, which makes sense.

I did a quick look at the USA Colorado Miniatures site and not only do they seem to stock most of the range they are cheaper than the UK AFV Modeller site. Two figures sets by about £1.00. equivalent UK money.

Now it's my turn to guess.

I'd guess that posting an item from the UK to a location in America is also going to be more expensive than using the internal mail system of the US to deliver the figure from a US dealer. So I'd say buying from Colorado is going to be cheaper both in figure cost, delivery and easier if figure is faulty, goes missing etc.



Great choice of figures by the way. The Panzer crews are among my favourite figures of any range.

Alan

Go with Colorado Miniatures

I've had good luck with Colorado Minatures. Check out their website.

alan i was only passing on what i had been told by TANK not recommending that AFV modeller was the best option i always shop around myself and it probably is cheaper to buy from colorado .

Yeah, they ARE great figures. So much so, that everywhere I go, the palce is out of stock with the two sets I'd like.
Hey...would you guys quit buying them all up, and give a guy a chance?!?!

As an aside: You guys want a good chuckle? Go look at how much the new Hasegawa 1/350 scale IJN battleship Kongo is listing (no pun intended) at. I've built a couple of Tamiya battleships, with all the PE that was possible to put on. And it didn't EVEN come close to what Hasegawa is asking for their kit OOTB. One place had it listed for USD $247.00.
Thank God I build more armor!

Hey Lincoln

You know what, if you really want to get annoyed, most of those you wanted have been brought probably to join others in a "grey army" as it's called, sat in a cupboard or drawer gathering dust for a few years or maybe even longer. Not painted or put in a scene, just pulled out looked at every so often then put away again.
