I've ordered from NWS and it took almost a month to get my order and The WarStore was 2+ weeks.

Is this going to be the standard or are there other places that are a little quicker to ship?

Thanks

Front Rank, Old Glory, Foundry; all ship fast. Don't know where you are, but if you're in the US, Old Glory is based in the US (and UK), and even though Front Rank and Foundry are in the UK, I routinely get stuff from them in about a week.

Old Glory WWII figs are not 28mm. Or at least they will not fit well with most plastic ranges. I own them along with Crusader, BTD, Warlord and a few others. I do use OG mg troops or units with prone or kneeling figs. That's not too bad. Love OG figs in general.

Thanks,

John

Interesting, John – I find OG WW2 figures (these actually are Westwind WW2) match up perfectly with BTD. In fact the Italians are so close I'd wager they were the same sculptor. only way I can tell the difference is one had an extra pack on the belt.

Back on topic – I find BTD in the US ships crazy quick, though others on here have waited months for their order. Ive had quick service with Brigade and even Warlord, and that's shipping from the UK (Im in the US).

NWS seems to ship slow, but I believe it is because they order most product after they receive a customer order. If you look closely on their page, any item with a "*" is not a regular in stock item.

NWS prices can't be beat but if I need something in a hurry I avoid them.

NWS will ship right away if everything is in stock, but typicaly not everything is and they will order stock and then fill your order as soon as everything is in. Great prices and quick turnaround for how they manage their stock levels.

I have no complaints with their service at all.
