Dear Thomas,

From the other side of the world;
- I would strongly recommend linear-a,
- I would also recommend Lucky Toy Soldier.

I would counsel strongly against la figurine plastique, if you expect any sort of customer service.

Regards, James

Agreed. In fact i've been quite interested in some of the Napoleonic & ACW poses from Spiera Miniatures but all the mess over charges etc has put me off for the time being. Shame really as nothing like those poses here in GB.

Hopefully it is sorted out in a more helpful way in favour of consumers both sides of the channel soon as the current situation does nobody any favours.

I regularly buy figurines at cherbourg models. It's fast, serious and cheap.

That is it, for all intents and purposes.

Hi Thomas,
I also had to stop purchasing from UK-based shops some time ago.

Two reliable sources for Strelets figures in the Netherlands and Germany which I used in the past as well.

met vriendelijke Groeten :wink:

Yep.Me too.
I had a great relationship with a British dealer but that seems now to be gone,gone gone.🙁

I tried to order from https://www.miniatuurwereld.com/ but get no response. Does anybody know if they are still active?

Thank you!

Yevgen,
last time I ordered from Martin probably 2 years ago.
Personally, I was always very satisfied with prices and service there. :+1:

Would be a shame if the shop no longer existed? Truly hope this is not the case? :worried:

Yes indeed, and I am more than convinced that Mainwaring will proudly achieve further such self-defeating "triumphs". :confused:

Linear-A is my main shop as well, but as stated it does not solve the current UK shipping quandary.

Yes and we will certainly not be able to find a sustainable solution to this weird issue here & now.

However, this could be an excellent opportunity for differently located traders to expand Strelets‘ distribution system in Europe.
Since it seems relatively unrealistic that previously established trade routes will be usable again in the near future, better networking on the much larger & more lucrative mainland would be advantageous for Strelets and a major part of their customers.
Accordingly, affected buyers could point out this opportunity to eligible traders in their respective regions.
Both, local hobby shops (if they still exist) as well as online retailers.
:sunglasses: :wink: :+1:

Another “triumph” for Capt.Mainwaring...😂
