I am looking for a good online store that sells a good assortment of Vietnam Era 1/35 figures. I have not had much luck with a basic google search (mostly pictures, dioramas, and some other misc. stuff appears.) I did go to DragonUSA but the site said it was just a wholesale distributor. Any site you all like to use or suggest?
Thank you

Its a good time for Vietnam figures. Check out what Bravo 6 and Evolution Miniatures have released. These should be easy enough to find.
Dragon used to have a decent line of Vietnam figures, but some of these might be getting hard to find ... check out Ebay. Their ´Nam helicopter crew is currently at 261 Swedish Kronor on Tradera (Swedish Ebay) which is $39.81. But there are plenty other which should be cheap enough.

In addition to what Frank has said, check out the Hobby Fan range of Resin figures. Luckymodel usually has a good stock and their mail order service is fine.

I have visited Velinden's site as well as Sprue Brothers. Thanks for the links and info. I am drawing out some ideas for my VERY 1st Dio so I am nervous/exited and hope it turns out well.
Thanks

bna model and military miniatures warehouse both have excellent lines of Vietnam figures. I only list bna because they do carry so many more figures than US sites.

DML/Dragon make a bunch of Vietnam figure sets in plastic as well. They are very nice and a lot cheaper than resin sets.

A little looking around and you would have found their on-line store
http://www.dragonusaonline.com/
You have to register on it, but you can buy any of their products here.

Ed, SOGA Hobbies is by far the lowest prices on some of the figures you are looking for. I did a order the othe day for 7 sets of figures and the price was very reasonable. Shipping was the best I have found from over seas by far.

Ed,
Verlinden and Sprue Bros.was a good choice.Verlinden is always a tad larger in scale,but if you keep just a bit of distance from other figures they are fine.They also seem to be one of the best at "at rest Viet Nam figures".You also may want to try EasyHobby.com.I picked them up from another fellow in posts and the prices with shipping were great.For the new Academy Humvee it only cost $32 including shipping.
