Does anyone know where I can find some 15mm Essex Prussians for the SYW in the US? I have about 3/4 of my army in Essex and don't want to change manufacturers now.

Noble Knight sells Essex. Not sure how complete their line is or if they can order what you want.

I just received an Essex order, last week, from the UK, and I live in the USA. Took around two weeks to receive it: 15x 25mm Gnome figures. I used PayPal, which took care of the funds exchange for me (USD ==> UK Pounds). No issues.

I ordered around 50 figures (all 25mm Gnomes, two separate orders, a couple of months apart) from Essex in the UK, around 15 years ago, used PayPal then, too. Smooth transactions each time. Great experiences with Essex.

Only issue I have had is that they never provided tracking numbers. Products arrived in a timely manner, I just did not have the luxury of knowing where they were, or when they would arrive. It reminded me of the 1970's-1990's era. Aside from that, I had no issues with three orders from Essex UK. I really like their products, prices, and dealing with the company (aside from the lack of tracking). Cheers!

I order directly from Britain. Never had a problem. The only concern is the mailing cost. It is better to put in a large order so that mailing costs don't exceed the cost of the miniatures.

Thanks all. I think I will just order direct through Paypal then. Noble Knight does not special order Essex minis.

Andrew,

A couple of months ago, I listed a crap lot of Essex miniatures on this site.
What are you looking for?

I just ordered 20 bags (500 g weight) from Essex. Total order was $123 USD, shipping was 10%. If I ordered another bag, shipping would have doubled. Just need to order the max weight in each shipping category to get decent shipping rates.

Oh, and the order only took 6 days to deliver to upstate New York.
