I am also interested in Perry stuff. I think Badger Games might carry some? |

I don't think any of the Cold Wars vendors will have any Perry Metals. I could easily be proven wrong. The Perry Metals have been carried by more than a few regular con vendors, but no one seems to have had them for very long. The things bounce around like a pauper in a pay toilet. Age of Glory had them. I think Brigade had some, but now they only have the plastics. Architects of War had them, but that ended even before they went up on the rocks. Another vendor had them, but I can't remember the name. They also had Zvezda and Renedra. It doesn't look like Noble Knight even has them anymore. Michigan Toy Soldier looks to have a few metals on their website, but no rioters. I'd reach out to them, then scan Wally's Basement, and then remember, the Atlantic isn't has hard to cross as it once was. |

We carry the plastics and the metals and will be at Cold Wars. However, we bring only the plastics. The metals are fantastic figures. But bringing them as a vendor is an issue for several reasons. 1) The figures are shipped in black boxs that are taped shut and have a sticker with the SKU on it. Not really great for viewing and picking poses. 2) The ranges are very extensive. We are talking about hundreds of codes. 3) Because of the aforementioned boxes, displaying the figures isn't easily done. The best suggestion I can give you is to order the metals from your favorite stockist of the metals. |

The best suggestion I can give you is to order the metals from your favorite stockist of the metals. That would be the Warstore ;) just waiting notice for a restock. |

If I can make a suggestion…. you can order the figures directly from the Perrys. Since this is being shipped to the US, you don't pay VAT and the GBP is still reasonable against the dollar. Usually shipping is about a week. If you order the figures now you'll probably have them before you leave for Cold Wars! |

Perry is quick with their service to the USA. Warstore is also topnotch but they do not have some of the Perry figures in stock. They can order them for you tho. |

Math it out both ways and do whatever makes the most sense. Also, don't forget to search other lines for suitable figures. I was looking into doing an 1850s Baltimore election riots game and found a fair few figs in various lines that'd work. The Perry's of course, but also check out Brigade Games' Victorian Age figs, especially the Brawlers and the Gangsters. Also the Age of Glory New Zealand Wars have some figs that could prove useful, esp. the Family Defending the Homestead. There are others if I remember correctly, but I can't recall where. |

I order directly from Perry. Never out of stock, and great turnaround. |

Old Glory could also be asked to bring West Wind, Gothic Horror, Jack the Ripper, London Thugs. Also Circus of Death Victorian Children. They don't seem to have the West Wind wagons, but they make a great house drawn fire engine. |

I've gone to ordering them, in fact all Perrys, direct from Perry themselves (I'm in the USA). Why place an order with a store that is then going to order them, wait to receive them and then ship them to you. Cut out the middleman and save loads of time. |

I'll pile on the order direct suggestions. Never had a problem. |
