I've bought many sets from eBay however shipping charges across several sellers can really take a bite out of your hobby budget. I know of classical toy soldiers too but have yet to purchase from them. Any other sites?

1. eBay
2. Classical Toy Soldiers

I get them from:
Fidelis Models, small selection,
Pegasus Hobbies, in Montclair, CA
Brookhurst Hobbies, in Garden Grove, CA
HaT sells direct, but you have to email and ask them
Always Models, in China
Hannants in the UK

Anywhere on-line in the uk, depending. ALL my local hobby shops have closed, and even Boyes round here won't stock the kits found in other towns.

Occasionally from Michigan Toy Soldier Co. michtoy.com

About once a year or so a big order from Jadar Hobby in Poland jadarhobby.pl

Quite a lot of toy shops have a small selection – and most plastic modelling hobby shops will have some as well.

Talking in the UK here, though.

Avoid Mich Toy – they've stolen credit card info in the past, and are known for not paying their bills (including to TMP).

CPBelt15 Apr 2016 2:05 p.m. PST

Wasn't that the old owner though? And wasn't that several years ago now?

Legbiter15 Apr 2016 3:39 p.m. PST

Harfields or Hannants sometimes, but usually local shops – The Magic Toybox, or Waterlooville model shop.

JasonAfrika15 Apr 2016 6:16 p.m. PST

Toy Soldier HQ for over 20 years. Kent Sprecher is an awesome guy.

LHS, mostly.

Martin Rapier15 Apr 2016 10:18 p.m. PST

Direct from the manufacturer or from Hannants. Our local model shops have some too, but availability is variable. Buy some at shows.

Hmmmm, I'm kinda picky about shipping costs and haven't had any problem finding what I want at a reasonable price on eBay.

Local model shop, I just pop in during my lunch break.

Had a few o.P. Elsewhere from hobbylinc usa.
Some cheap opportunity buying in shops in Moscow ( Zvevda of course).

Marc at work18 Apr 2016 8:59 a.m. PST

Me. What are you after :-)

HidaSeku20 Apr 2016 4:29 p.m. PST

I usually order online from Hobbylinc and Scalehobbyist.

I've also gotten them in person from both Brookhurst Hobbies and Pegasus Hobbies in Southern California. Great places, both.
