I like the ranges but got to say I think the website sucks. I'm a big fan of 10mm but the site just don't work for me, so much so I can't be bothered to order from it. It's just too much faffing around, the old website was better. Not good for me. |

I agree, they have definitely lost site of the old KISS ( Keep It Simple Stoopid) principle! |

While it's pretty good for finding something specific, it is horrible for simply browsing. An believe me, miniature sites take most of my money for "things I never new I desperately needed" before discovering them while just poking around. |

Yes. The "new" website is horrid. I find myself not wanting to even look there for miniatures anymore. :-( |

definitely sucks, and a pain to navigate, old site was better |

I just checked it and don't se anything wrong. Can filter for what I'm looking for and there are pictures of everything. If I'm looking for 28mm WW2, I don't want to see 10mm ancients, so it works perfectly for me. How about you suggest improvements you would like to see rather than just being negative? You never know, they may even take your sage advice. |

It's certainly NOT an improvement |
Robert666 | 30 Jan 2015 6:34 a.m. PST |
Jez I'm glad it works for but it doesn't for me, I have contacted them in the past but nothing changed, the reason I put up the post was to see if it was just me that didn't get along with it, seems not. Perhaps someone from M.M. might see this post, dump the webpage and bring back the old one, that's my suggestion for an improvement. |

I commented to the owner re the new website when I saw him at the Alumwell Show last year. He explained the thinking behind it and how to get best use from it. I have to say it is actually quite efficient when you get used to it. Persevere-there is some good stuff there! |

I just completed my first order from them 2 weeks ago and did find the site a bit slow to navigate, at least comparatively to other sites. But having received my minis, I am glad I stuck to it. Will definitely order more from them, despite the wonkiness. |

At least someone likes it. As for me, I'll head over to Ral Partha to browse. Btw I'm not too keen on GZGs website either. |

The filter system brings back a lot of false positives. If I search Medieval and 28mm scale, the Historical Period list displays 12 sub periods. Of those sub periods, only 2 or 3 actually contain figures. This is fine if I want to look at the Crusade or Saracen ranges that I know exist, but not good if I want to browse for new figures. |

Probably the worst web site I have ever tried to use. I usually give up after a few minutes. Some web designer must have been trying to be clever. |

I've just been there to have a nose as I know they do lots of useful stuff because I saw it on the old web site. Anyway I've now torn out all of my hair and flung it in handfuls all over the room in frustration. And then I thought -I'll look at TMP -I bet there's a thread on this!!! Seriously -my wallet was hanging open… Just gave it another go -I'm looking for shields -put that into search -I've now got some shields mixed in with every figure with a shield (in all scales of course), transfers , tanks and God knows what else. I could start refining but who has time for all that sort of nonsense-time to move on. |
