19th century miniatures no longer carries Gripping Beast. Anyone know who does?

Grelber27 Sep 2008 5:55 a.m. PST

The Gripping Beast website has a link to a page where they discuss this issue. Unfortunately, it doesn't work for me. From the stub with the link, I gather they plan to sell from the UK until they arrange for a new US dealer.

A couple months ago, I bought some from Grandiosity warweb.com/index.php They don't show Gripping Beast products any more, but it might be worth asking if they still have whatever you want in stock.

We have said we would like to but so far no word.
Sometimes we dont get the love :-(

Hi Warstoreman,

GB had a few email/computer issues so maybe it got lost or wiped, might be worth resending the mail. Speaking of no love, I sent you a mail months ago about the LBMS transfers and I didn't hear a dicky bird! :o(

(Dicky Bird meaning nothing if that is to English an expression?)

Regards,

Steve.

Neal, these ARE the shield transfers you're looking for…

:D

My understanding is that they currently do not have sales representative or outlet in the US, but I think they are looking for one. For right now you would need to order from the UK, or find left over stock?

From the GB home page, the Recent News item that used to direct US Customers to the US source now reads:

"Unfortunately Gripping Beast miniatures are no longer being made under licence in the USA. Until we can arrange another US licence deal, the full range of GB, MoFo & Woodbine Design Company figures can be purchased direct from Gripping Beast in the UK.:

The "…more detail" link below that used to point to the Old Glory 15s/19th c. Miniatures site, but now it just returns the GB home page.

Since Grandiosity/Warweb was supplied with the range by Old Glory 15s at the same address (!), I'd be surprised if they can provide any.

I would like to see The War Store carrying LBMS transfers, even though I like oredering directly from Steve! (It'll be October soon, Steve…)

The Warstore needs to carry Gripping Beast, Musketeer, GZG, LBMS, Victrix, the TAG regiment packs, and Litko. And then take direct deposit from my employer…

>>>The Warstore needs to carry Gripping Beast, Musketeer, GZG, LBMS, Victrix, the TAG regiment packs, and Litko.<<<

Second to all that, however I'd doubt Neal can afford to deal them at anywhere near the same price per 10-pack as the WarWeb/OG15s consortium.

However the War Store is one of the best and I'm sure he'd try to give his US customers a better deal than ordering direct from GB-UK.

If he can get GB & Musketeer into his fold I'll be there…

avidgamer27 Sep 2008 12:01 p.m. PST

I'll third that… Gripping Beast, Musketeer, LBMS, Victrix, and Litko.

TheWarStoreMan29 Sep 2008 6:23 a.m. PST

Hmmmmmmmm
I will get after that.

And Neal,
If you do go for Gripping Beast, make sure you include the resin items. Old Glory 15s never did. I could definitely use a couple long ships.

I personally would love to see Old Glory pick Gripping Beast up. I can only hope…

ARMY Strong15 Jun 2015 6:42 p.m. PST

It's been sometime since this post started has anything changed I'm looking for the Bleeped text range but seems no one is carrying them in the US? I was putting in a large order with GB but shipping has put me off.

ARMY Strong15 Jun 2015 6:44 p.m. PST

So I guess you can't say M_Fo on this site

Sir Mumsy15 Jun 2015 7:13 p.m. PST

Army Strong. I don't know where you are located, but Games Plus in Mount Prospect (Illinois) has plenty of GB plastic boxes and metal miniatures for SAGA. If they don't have the specific item you want in stock, they can probably order it for you. I recently ordered the Spanish and Moor starter warbands and blisters with them and it came in a less than 2 weeks later. Good luck.

Architects of War carries a lot of Gripping Beast stuff. I get all my SAGA things from them and have never had any reason to complain. Hope that helps.

I agree with Billy Yank. If they do not have it they will order it for you!!!! Mike Adams

Flatland Hillbilly17 Jun 2015 9:49 p.m. PST

I would also agree with Billy Yank – have bought plenty of Saga minis from the nice folks at Architects of War.

Rudysnelson18 Jun 2015 8:48 a.m. PST

Several distributors carry them in the USA. So even a small store like me can carry Gripping Beast and other SAGA products,
