Anyone aware of any US retailers who sell city/urban tiles suitable for a superhero game?

Thanks

Scale? Grid?

You might want to scour ebay or thrift stores for "old" board games – 21st scifi/postapoc century ones that didn't do well, or aged out quickly. Many of these have city, ship, etc. tiles that could be used for superhero games.

If you're looking for something like 10mm or so, some resource board games might fit the bill.

Dropzone did some pretty good city landscapes with cardboard tower blocks.

Have a look and see if they're still available and whether they'd suit?

Update:
Here's a link from the UK website :

The Cityscape boxes are a great value. Nice tiles and foldable cardboard buildings. They also made Ruinscape – same product but after the big action sequence. I have two boxes of each and can make quite a large table. They have nice subtle grids of (I think) 1".

The TTCombat stuff is for 10mm gaming. I need something for 28-32mm

Worldworks games.com "Streets of Legend" if you want PDF's that can be scaled and printed to your needs. $8.63 USD USD currently.

Yep, I'm aware of the PDF's. Just not wanting to do all that cutting, gluing, etc..

I tried my hand at making tiles with foam board and it never really fit together without gaps. It looked like ass, but my DIY'ing skills are weak.

I guess I could try the PDF at print to MDF for a more sturdy and more aligned option!

Game Crafters ( link ) might have what you can use. Have a look around there on the site as Allen does great work and delivers in a reasonable time. I have bought many items from him and will do so again without hesitation. He also posted on his site: "If you have any questions or comments or need any help at all on anything, please feel free to email me personally at allen@gcmini.com "
