Hi

I've had an order outstanding from Milsims in Australia for over four months for a Hohei Machine-gun Platoon – JP704 and they've told me that every time they order it, BF tells them that it's OOS.

Is anybody else having troubles getting FOW Japanese from BF or any stockists?

Thanks for any info.

Cheers

Mind Games might have one, they have some Japanese stuff in stock. Or you could get some Eureka japanese which are always available as Nic just casts up some more if he doesn't have them on hand.

My local store has recently gotten bunches of those Japanese blisters so I don't think there's any real problem with getting them.

At my local store Japanese are one of the few EW things you can actually buy. Not sure about the HMG platoon but there are multiple Japanese boxes and blisters in stock.

Now if you want Poles or French for EW you are screwed.

Anybody interested in USMC WW2 15mm to fight those wayward Japanese we sell them here

We do excellent discounts for platoon sized units, 30+ figures for 0.55cents per figure and over 100 figures for .50 cents per figure. Just email us with an order

I was waiting for a number of things from Battlefront (labelled. OOS) but they've all started turning up in the last week or so. Hopefully they're getting over the 'Dust' debacle and back to business as normal.

Hi All

Still no joy from Milsims on this packet, coming up to 6 months now since I ordered them.

Have written to BF to see if the item is in stock again, to see if this is where it's all held up.

Will let you know how it all goes.

Cheers

The various Australian retailers are re-negotiating their supply contracts with the new distributer Aetherworks. There might be some further delay while this is going on especially as it looks like some stores will drop FOW due to the lack of stock, pricing and other difficulties of dealing with BF.

Hi All

Still no joy in getting an order completed that I paid for over 8 months ago. I offered up some alternatives including some that are listed on their website as available but nothing seems to be happening.

The local stores around me have been out for months. The online folks I use have been dry for longer. Has anyone seen battlefront japs in stock in the u.s.?

Check eBay

You might want to consider a different manufacturer. My Japanese troops are from many different makes (Peter Pig, QRF, Quality Castings, and Old Glory):

You could try using bicycles for cavalry. :)
