I'm considering placing a rather sizable order (low triple digits) with Mirliton in italy, as they have a bunch of the old Grenadier miniatures that I'm utterly hot bananas for. My question is can anyone fill me in on their turnaround time for orders shipped to the US? I've had incredible luck with orders from the UK, but you can never be too well informed on this sort of thing… |

For Mirliton figures, I have always ordered through the US Distibutor, Korman Studios. He orders infrequently from Mirliton Italy so you may have a wait. Campaign Game Miniatures of Spain ( link ) offers Mirliton figures too and their turn-around time is fast to USA. The owner is a nice guy too! Check their Mirliton inventory to see if they carry the Grenadier figures you want. |

I have ordered directly from Mirliton in Italy to the USA on several occasions over the years and never had any problem with delivery. The last time I ordered was over a year ago and if I recall correctly the order arrived inside three weeks. |

Noble Knight Games is the US distributor for Mirliton. they may not have everything, but the list looks very comprehensive. Here is a link: tinyurl.com/zrfvq3d |

I'll second Noble Knight. They will also do special orders. |

Yes, I've dealt with Noble Knight and their 'special orders'…not a good experience. |

I've ordered from Italy and had no problems. |

How bad are the shipping charges for a "sizable" order? It is hard to figure the discount you get sometimes when you start making bigger orders. |

Some years back I ordered some of the old Grenadier Call of Cthulhu miniatures directly from Italy to California. No problems, perfect performance, prompt delivery. Edit: I don't remember the exact turnaround, but it was under a month, for sure. |

Re – Special order Noble Knight: I did do a special order for Mirliton thru Noble Knight. I let them know what I wanted and they included it in the next order out with no charge until they were ready to ship. There were some casting issues and the folks at Noble Knight made it right at thier own expense. Would be happy to buy from them again. |

I ordered directly from them and had the figures in about a week and a half in Wisconsin. |

I have been ordering directly from Italy for years. Great Service. I even stopped by his shop in Italy a couple years ago, super good guy. |

I've ordered directly from Mirliton on one occasion with no problem (shipped to the US). It was a substantial order as well. The order took longer to arrive (two or three weeks: I forget which) than when ordering from the UK, but that might have been due to any number of factors. |
