Small Scale Military Headquarters

i'm considering a major purchase from them and would like to know if they are reliable to deal with. Anyone have experiences with them?

I buy from them all the time. great store.

I buy from them a lot, they are great. the pile of loot feature makes them the shiznit! I order all the time but they don't ship till i call it in which saves on shipping. I call in about 5 times a year when my orders hit around the $500 marker or when some must have in my hands toy arrives and it is usually like $15 shipping.

They're perfectly fine. Most consider them the only equivalent to EE much these days.

thanks guys, i went ahead and ordered. Their shipping was really high, but overall the price was better by about $40 then i could find anywhere else, so i went for it.

What did you order??????

ha ha ha....nothing military but it is 1/18 scale. I'm very excited about getting it. Here's a good pic of it.

I guess i should have put this thread in off topic, since it's not military, but i needed a quick answer, so i cheated. RHIP.

AFERGUSON:

That's really impressive...and real expensive. If I wasn't spending all my money on planes and tanks, dinosaurs would be second (I have a cool Ymir from 20 MILLION MILES TO EARTH which was included in Sony's Ray Harryhausen dvd set).

WOW that's cool! Nicely sculpted.

i've been collecting 1/18 dinosaur and animal figures as long as i've been in this hobby. Dinosaurs have always been tough to find, especially the larger ones, except for expensive resin kits. When i saw this i knew i had to have it. It's been out of production for a year, so i was glad to find it, despite the high shipping price, as the others i found were even higher...i was sort of in the same boat as people going after 1/18 cobras, lightnings and f-18's.

Edit: looks like i got the last one. I went back to check on something a few minutes later and noticed it now said 'out of stock'. I was holding my breath until i got my shipping confirmation.

There are two more in the series i'm going to get as well. A 32 inch long Spinosaurus and a 44 inch long Apatosaurus (aka brontosaurus).

1:18 ? That must be huge!

That could make an interesting diorama with some figures. Like the land that time forgot kinda thing...or not. It's cool anyways.

it's like the coolest thing EVER.

Just in case you need any of these. Not mine. Just saw them today and thought you may want to take a look

Here's an idea for a 1/18 diorama:

thanks for the link JMD but the only one of those i was interested in is the one i bought from BBTS...the others are all too out of scale. It's interesting...there was an Allosaurus/Camarasaurus one ebay recently for starting bid of 99 cents and buy it now of $300. I was licking my chops, figuring i'd be able to get it for a good price...it ended up selling for $380! So the guy who is taking his off to ebay should do well with his.

my allosaurus/camarasaurus diorama arrived today. Very, very nice. Extremely fine detail on both sculpting and paint. Very pleased.

Spot on 1/18 scale too. The bigger, running allosaurus, measures nearly 32 feet long, which matches the largest allosaurus specimen found. Whereas the other allosaurus is a bit smaller and more typical of an average sized allosaur.

And i did indeed get the very last one. They are sold out everywhere else and going for $100+ more on ebay. So thanks for the quick responses initially to my question, all.



sorry for the off topic post.
