Madmike1:
I think stock shortages for distributors here are a major hassle from both points of view. As customers, we don't want to wait, and the suppliers don't want to take chances with the demon dead stock (anyone remember the garage Battlefield at Campsie operated out of?). The way the AUD is against the Pound Sterling right now, I almost wish I'd waited.

5 days! Geez, the record to me is 6. If you're in Perth, I can accept it, otherwise, I feel cheated… :) But VAT? I don't think I've ever been charged for that. I'll have to check the next time I'm invoiced. If Micks has only their WWII range, he'd have lost me at the start. All I've got is moderns, with a handful of WWII for potential headswaps.
valleyboy:
Yes, I used to think "Rest of the World" was retail-speak for "no, we can't be bothered sending piddly little orders to… where?" Still, back when no one in Australia (or NZ either, I believe) carried either GHQ Micro Armor or Platoon 20, one bit one's lip, and paid for the shipping.
MWright:
Herein may lie our problem, as stated above. If Mick's only carries WWII, and he may have to order in, and it even takes, say a month, after this many years, I'd probably be content just ordering direct.
Huw R Davies:
*Chuckle* Yes… anybody else ever order single figures, or try to get a pack with just the one pose in it? Not PPs fault. Must be just a little annoying, at some level, to slot singles requests in… we can be a peculiarly demanding lot.
I'm guessing Micks Metal hasn't been carrying Peter Pig out here for that long (anybody?). Are we in agreement then that, given the service we've seen here from the manufacturer direct, that orders from Australia aren't likely to taper off anytime soon? I wish Micks Metal joy, but wish he'd been carrying moderns (if in fact, he does not). But sadly, as I've just clicked on the Peter Pig button on his site to look for stock and prices, all I get for a result is "This Category is currently empty".
