Hey, so I'm from the U.S. and I've been trying to find some information on where i can get 15mm or 18mm plastic or metal figures. Can anyone help out with me here? |

Uh, sorry I think I might've accidentally submitted my post three times |

You can go on my site, it lists lots of suppliers, sorted out by period. . Most often the Brits, either by answering or from their sites will tell you if it can be bought from the other side of the great pond. |

Can you help us help you by narrowing it down a little to the period or the war or the campaign you're looking for? There must be hundred, maybe thousands of ranges of metal 15mm figures covering just about everything and then you can add the plastic manufacturers who typically talk in terms of scale – 18mm would equal 1:87, or roughly HO scale for these manufacturers. Are you looking for historical or fantasy? Ancients or Medieval? Napoleonic or Seven Years War? World War II or World War 1? Cold War or Modern? Planes or Ships? Troops or Tanks? |

I usually order from Noble Knight Games. They carry FOW and Old Glory Command Decision range. As nsolomon99 says a little more detail on exactly what time period you are after will help. |

I'm looking for stuff that is either modern, world war 2, and maybe Napoleonic. Though I'm more into modern and World War 2. Also thanks Jcfrog and Extra Crispy, I'll check out your sites. |

(Oh and also, I'm looking for stuff from the U.S. since I'm trying to not spend too much and shipping can be costly) |

Salutations, Bartorzech ! Obviously, if there's a convention near you, you can buy from ye dealers' room and save on shipping that way ;-). There are also brick and mortar hobby shops that carry minis. (The USA being a big country, and if we had approximate idea where you are…) The Historicon program listed the web and email eddresses of the 72 (? – quick count) dealers, can possibly scan those pages and email pdfs to you. madaxeman.com/15mm/index.php is an attempt at a complete 'catalog' of ancients, not sure how up to date it is, can check if those manufacturers have WWII, modern lines. Hope this is some help to you |

Yeah that's a lot of help, and uh I should've had said the approximate area I am in. So to add details to this post, I'll say I am around NYC |

ToyWiz in Nantuet, rockland county is 1isih hours north of nyc and carries all periods of Flames of War and plays regularly. I can point you to the club Facebook page if you're looking to play |

I like 15mm Freikorps and Scale Creep has a good selection, also, I've heard good things about Old Glory and Blue Moon, all are US distributors. |

@whitphoto Finding a good club would be great but I only use public transportation in NYC so getting there would be a problem. |

Greetings from Newark, NJ, You may want to check out link I've heard good things about Metropolitan Wargamers, been meaning to visit them. There's historical miniatures played regularly on Thursday evenings (and occasional other times) at Maplewood Hobby – maplewoodhobby.com – which can be reached via the 25 or 70 buses from Newark Penn PATH terminal to Broadview Ave – check njtransit.com for schedules and fares. Hope to see you there, or at least at Fall In. You might want to check out the NY Military Affairs Symposium – nymas.org |
