I have tried severalof the local Hobby Shops and they all seem to have troublebeing able to order Vallejo Paints. Does anyone know of an online (trusted) website that sells the sets of Vallejo acryllic and Vallejo air paints?

I've had great success with both Sprue Brothers and Colorado Miniatures.

Michigan Toy Soldier has them as well.

I can't speak for their mail order service, as they are located less than a mile from my house.
At least you have a lot of place to shop for prices.

If you have a HobbyTown USA in your area just ask the owner if he could carry it. I live in CT and there are only 3 places around that carry Vallejo. 2 are like 45 min away and the other is 30 min. I am fortunate enough where a HobbyTown opened up in town. I asked the owner to consider this product, 3 days later a full rack showed up in the store. I asked him how it was going a few days ago and he said other modellers who have found out about the paint are ecstatic. If you have one just ask, use my example. Good Luck.

I have ordered Vallejo paints from two places. One, Strange Cargo Games is in the States. The other, http://modelsforsale.com is in the UK, but I received my order in 5 days.

I was just wondering is anyone knows the best time to shop for paint online? I was just thinking is there a time you find the best deals and should stock up or just deal with the fact that paints are going to cost you a lot.

Squadron Mail Order just had a 40% off sale on all paints that ended a couple of days ago.
Squadron usually has a sale about every, or every other weekend so the deals will come again.

I've bought mine on-line from Squadron.com, ScaleHobbyist.com, and Amazon.com. The local HobbyTown also carries it.

I just placed a purchase with ScaleHobbyiest for some paint and their prices are about the same as the sale price was at Squadron a few weeks ago.
