After being a steady customer for some time, my last order was completely screwed up and I'm looking to spend my money someplace else (I won't go into specifics as I'm not trying to bash the company).
Anybody have any good alternatives?
I'm considering miniatures-giant.com for my Reaper stuff but I need to find a place that carries Confrontation and 40K (Specialist Games would be a nice bonus too)...

I've been nothing but happy with The Drop Zone. Not to say he hasn't had his share of problems, but(in my opinion) he handled them well and corrected what needed to be corrected. It's impossible for things to run smoothly 100% of the time, knowing that your issues will be taken care of is a huge comfort(at least to me it is)

I would recommend the Drop Zone despite others that bashed him for not getting something for free.

I've had good experiences with
Fantization, but they do not carry GW product (AFAIK).

I had 2 really good experiences with Art @ Art's Game Store (
http://stores.channeladvisor.com/Arts-Game-Store/). My next order will be through TDZ because I like him and he supports BTown financially (even if he DOES get advertising out of it)... but that is ALL about TDZ and nothing bad about Art.
You'll find Art's discounts on par with -or better than- WarStore's, but I think TDZ'a discounts are probably even better.

By-the-way, TDZ... We KNOW you're reading this. You might as well pipe in here and "sell yourself" a bit.
LOL
We promise not to see you as being pushy if you do... We'll see it as confidence (and answering a "call out" <G>).

Not to steer you away from a bartertown supporter, but
http://www.Chaosmailorder.com is a local shop in South Bend, IN that has competitive pricing/shipping deals. An added bonus, shipping SHOULDN'T take that long to get to Chicago. I could drive to Chicago in less than a couple of hours if it weren't for this %#@& lake effect snow.
2 cents and a ramble all in one.

I'm probably going to hit up TDZ, though Arts....
they will go 30% if you get 500 retail. haha.
and there was once a place that had 35%... somewhere.

TDZ, do you carry Specialist games stuff, Cities Of Death, and SoBs? Also do you accept Paypal?

I have a limited supply of the specialist games on hand but i can freely order them and i am very willing to do so
I do have a good stock supply of Cities of death and have some good supply of sob back in stock as well including the exorcist you were looking for awhile ago
Yes i do take paypal

Thanks for letting me know. I'll have to wait to place an order though until I get more Paypal funds. I'll keep you in mind...
