in the USA ? I tried Military Miniatures Warehouse and they have them listed as in stock but the order system is FUBAR. The e mail doesn't work,the ordering doesn't work and no one answers the phone. I am having a boatload of problems ordering anything from anybody any more.

I keep seeing them up on ebay, auction and buy it now, usually out of Hong Kong though. Good to have a back up plan to the backup option.

Jerry, order then from Hobbyeasy out of HK. I've have ordered about 30 of them from them and have had great success. I get them in here in Texas in about 7-8 days from shipping. Takes them a couple days to ship them.

Jer. I'm almost certain you can order from high caliber miniatures out of Vancouver. I got my bravo6 musicians from him. Great price and service...and with our dollar tanking daily you'll probably be happy with the price.

I'll echo Dave- I have ordered from High Calibre Miniatures and they ship over to me in MA just as fast as anywhere stateside. And good pricing too.

Hi Jerry, try WWW.fields of glory.com in the UK. I have bought a few different Stalingrad figs from them. Well stocked and very speedy shipping. They also have a great selection of other figs and a lot of different diorama supplies. Alot of scenery and accessories. I just got the Stalingrad set S3120 After a battle with 3 German casualties and 2 Russians looking for souveniers. The casting is flawless. Hope you find what you need Jerry. Best regards....Dale

Jerry, I can't impress upon you enough that Hobbyeasy is the way to go. There prices can't be beat and there shipping prices are low too.

Thanks once again folks for the awesome tips and advice.
We will see what happens. I am comparing prices and availability now. Meanwhile has anyone seen the new Miniart set for Champagne bottles and crates ? Holy cow it's nice.
I also covet the Miniart Tram rider figures and also Station figures for the tram. I wonder if they are available separately ?

Yes, they are available separately. Michigan Toy Soldier lists both sets.
MiniArt (38006) German Sitting Civilians '30s–'40s
MiniArt (38007) Tram Crew w/Passengers
You might also consider this set MiniArt (35530) Street Accessories. HTH.

PS: Those Champagne bottles and crates would make some great spoils of war! 🍾

At Dick Blick art store. Pretty pricey though. I was hoping it would be found in a hardware store as that would be automatically cheaper.

Everything is interweb for me — did a search on Amazon and if this is the stuff, it looks like a very handy product to have around.
