Hmm the 10,000 1:87 bystanders sounds like the place to start for Zombie games…

leidang17 Apr 2009 12:04 p.m. PST

I for one appreciate the link. I've been looking for 1/300 autos for modern and Kaiju gaming.

Thanks Smokey

Sweet! Thanks, Smokey!

Smokey Roan17 Apr 2009 12:12 p.m. PST

Your welcome!

THAT's the kind of reply I want to see when I hook y'all up with a slice of fried gold!

:)

PygmaelionAgain17 Apr 2009 12:24 p.m. PST

It takes me weeks to buy a car… much less 1000 of them at a time ;)

Smokey Roan17 Apr 2009 12:26 p.m. PST

The Chinese are taking over the US Auto industry!

(in 6mm)

:)

Lerchey17 Apr 2009 1:56 p.m. PST

Ok, I really don't need 100 model cars in 1/300, but would like maybe 20-30. If I buy one, anyone want like half of 'em if I promise not to make a profit on 'em? :)

Smokey Roan17 Apr 2009 2:04 p.m. PST

LOL Lerchy! That's the deal I mde with a TMPer here. We are spliiting the cost and cars.

Theises, had he checked his PM box, would have got 50 cars for free, just because he is a great guy. (he didn't, so he missed out) :)


I'll go halvsies with anyone who wants to do the jumbo lot of 6mm trees though.

Darby E17 Apr 2009 2:15 p.m. PST

Oooh, which lot of trees is that? I see tons…

Smokey Roan17 Apr 2009 2:15 p.m. PST

Any lot that will work for 6mm.

You in?

:)


And, BTW, Bleeped text is "1/220" scale? Is that "Z" scale? And why Arab civilians?

If you can afford a Z scale train set, you can afford to not have open desert as terrain. :)

Darby E17 Apr 2009 2:39 p.m. PST

Good lord, that's a lot of peoples! I didn't even see them at first.

Looks like I'll be able to get my 1/600 scale stuff going for much cheaper than I had been, not to mention zombies…

VonTed17 Apr 2009 4:08 p.m. PST

These are for architectural models…. arab civilians are the ones buying the big projects. Makes sense :)

Covert Walrus17 Apr 2009 4:24 p.m. PST

I like the link – Just don't like paying NZ$80 for them.

Smokey Roan17 Apr 2009 4:58 p.m. PST

NZ$80? Whatchu talkin' 'bout, Willis?

Smokey Roan17 Apr 2009 5:16 p.m. PST

Oh, and VonTed, you certainly wore your thinking cap today!


:)


Great post!

Personal logo miniMo Supporting Member of TMP17 Apr 2009 6:47 p.m. PST

Ooh. I just got a 100 of the 1/300 cars for kaiju squishings. Would have gone for a 200 batch if they had more than 2 styles.

Ray in Calgary17 Apr 2009 6:47 p.m. PST

Speaking from experience, this particular vendor is an absolute dream to buy from. I've bought trees, Palm trees, people and cars in both 6mm and 10mm scales. I've always had great shipping service from him, ususally within 5-6 days. I have dealt with him now on six separate occaisions and will no doubt continue to do so in the future.

cloudcaptain17 Apr 2009 8:16 p.m. PST

Yeah…I've done biz with him too. The N scale cars are great!

Personal logo Saber6 Supporting Member of TMP Fezian17 Apr 2009 8:47 p.m. PST

Smokey, yo are EVIL. I now have 1,000 civilians on the way…

Personal logo Legion 4 Supporting Member of TMP In the TMP Dawghouse17 Apr 2009 9:16 p.m. PST

Nice Trees too !!

Covert Walrus18 Apr 2009 2:20 a.m. PST

Smokey, I was looking at the 500 car set @ $35.90 USD a pop – That's about seventy kiwis.

Now I look again, there are some cheaper sets, but still US$17.00 without postage costs ( likely to double that is not exactly a cheap deal at present for me.

Cry Havoc18 Apr 2009 2:35 a.m. PST

Are you sure you have to add postage? Most sets seemed to include free shipping to the US and Europe.

Otherwise very nice economy of scale here. Now they just have to enter the wargame mini market :-)

The Lost Soul18 Apr 2009 5:16 a.m. PST

If anybody wants to get just a few to see what they are like in the flesh (or even plastic) I've got an ebay auction for 10 ending tomorrow (auction number 270372000215). Let me know you're from TMP and I'll send it out post free to the UK or as cheap as I can elsewhere. Saying that, I've bought from this seller before and I think you'll be happy with what you get for the price you pay.
