Online. Ebay. Really the only way now.

Hannants – so much cheaper than eBay and Amazon. Used to get at shows from a couple of traders, but one retired and the other stopped carrying plastic figures.

Online dealers like Drum and Flag. Still miss Harfields.

FLGS or Hobby Lobby (limited selection)

Michigan Toy Soldier carries a great selection. I can obtain a lot locally (Denver Co. Area) at Colpar/Hobbytown USA. These types of figures can usually be obtained thru your model supply wholesaler of you are a hobby store. Many brands also produce hobby kits (Revell, Italaeri, IMEX, Heller, etc.) Ask them to check for you if your FLGS carries plastic model kits.

hobbylinc.com usually has a huge variety in stock.

e-Bay. I get the best options from e-Bay sellers. I frequently buy direct from makers through e-Bay. Cheers!

Michigan Toy Soldier carries a great selection. That's too bad. Those jerks owe TMP a lot of money.

Sometimes local hobby shops, if they still stock them. Otherwise from Hannants or second hand from pals or at bring and buys.

Mainly online at Hannants, Drum & Flag and Wonderland Models. I use eBay for old or secondhand items. I also miss Harfields.

I buy almost everything at Cherbourg Maquettes, a great french website – a lot of references and a fast delivery.
