I was just on their website browsing for Persian heavy cavalry. Not only didn't I find Persians, but it seems like their whole ancients line wasn't accessible on their website. Did they kill the whole line? |

Don't waste your time buying from them – you will probably never get your order filled, it will take forever or may never show up, they will not communicate with you – horrible company! see below – buy at your own risk (speaking from personal experience): TMP link |

I never had any problems with BTD in the US, though some certainly have. |

I believe the operator was/ is having health issues. My last order arrived recently. It was a longer wait than usual but the communication was appreciated. Currently I'm waiting to see if they announce that they are back up to speed. I like them because they fill in some areas in my collections, so it will be sad if those ranges disappear. |

They pulled their ancients last year sometime. You can still get the Romans under their own category. |

That's unfortunate, I'd planed to order some of their Celts this year. Grelber |

On February 6, this email was sent out: ANCIENTS CLEARANCE SALEWe recently removed the Ancients from sale. We are planning to remold them all, correct some errors and and fill in some gaps. Then release them as Kickstarters. We have a bunch of miscellaneous packs still in stock and decided to do a Clearance Sale on all of the remainders. Now is the time to snap up some packs to reinforce your Army or perhaps take advantage of the massive discounts :) Quantities are very limited. Go to the Website, look under Ancients and they are all there. |

I would not be buying anything from them through Kickstarter. Once you have invested through that platform your money is gone. BTD is too unreliable to take that risk. |

All of the sets I have seen go on Kickstarter from BTD have been significantly higher in price, per figure, than the rest of their listings. |

Well, since I can't complete my unit, if anyone would like to buy four well painted Persian armored cavalry for US$50, shoot me a message. I'd post a picture but it's so inconvenient on the board! |

By well-painted I mean that both riders and mounts have eyeballs. |

You could try writing Blacktree Design and see if they do, in fact, have any in stock. |

I have never had anything but poor service from them, order at your own risk. The miniatures are nice but order fulfillment is terrible. |
