Hi guys.

I would like to know if there's a retailer for Forge World products in North America : buying from UK is quite expensive.

Thanks !

Forgeworld has no resellers except for, (at least in the past,) the Battle Bunker GW stores. (If you were asking because you were looking for a place that offers discounted FW you are totally out of luck.) The cheapest way to order Forgeworld is to do a group order with friends to break the 250 GBP mark and get it shipped free. Other than that, you could always post up a trade ad looking for specific models and likely get a hit here although it might take some time.

Unfortunatly, FW stuff is currently only sold by FW (website, conventions)

Ebay wise, there are a lot of recasts going on currently, i would avoid sellers from Russia and China....

Unless you're travelling to Lenton, UK and actually visit the Warhammer World Store, you won't find any FW models in store.
I'm a decent owner of FW kits, over the years i ordered several times from them, bought stuff at conventions, all that in different countries.
Here's my tip list with FW kits ordering
1- if you can, reach the 250 £ mark, free express shipping means your order will be there within 2 weeks, otherwise it can take up to 5 weeks as they are quite busy currently. Combined orders with a gaming group is a good idea, i personnaly wait until i get 250 £ worth and then order. I order stuff from them every other month, sometimes new releases make me order right away...:)
2- there are also time period where you don't want to order: i.e. Christmas time as the volume increases, the quality control decreases, prior to the UK GD also as well as your order will be delayed unless you follow tip #1
3- inspect all the kits when you received it, chances you get miscasted parts or broken are there, just give them a call with your order number, they'll replace the parts or the kits free of charge and let you keep the miscasted one. Do the same if you buy at a convention, they'll exchange the kit and even check the parts with you if they are not in a rush
4- if you pre-order something, expect large delay in shipment unless you follow tip 1. It took 4 weeks after the release date for me to get the Storm Eagle....
5- Btown is safer for FW kits than Ebay :) but rarer...:)
Also remember that there are no import taxes on FW kits coming from UK to USA but they are from UK to Canada, none in Europe of course.

Cheers
