Hey guys. What is the best site for getting bits from if you live in the US? Im tired of using battlewagon bits because they suck.

I would have gone with battlewagon bits for the us.

Internationally (if you dont mind )you can try:

Thecombatcompany, an australia company, don't have the most complete range, but russell (owner) is always adding in new things, and from what i hear the international postage and conversion rates aren't too bad.

Then there is bitzbox and bits and kits in the uk, i haven't dealt with them but heard some decent things although i have heard they can be out of stock fairly often on more popular bitz.

Don't really know much else for the us, maybe the bitz barn, i think they are a us company, haven't dealt with them but i have looked through their site, seems okay.

I've used bitz barn over the weekend and they seemed easy to deal with and they shipped my stuff quickly. I haven't recieved the parcel yet, but it's only been a few days. So far though, they seem alright.

SoG

I've only bought bitz once and it was from Bitz Barn. Prices are mostly fair, certainly better than when GW sells/sold bitz. Bitz were well packaged, came out quickly. They only seem to carry broken down battalion boxes and don't often renew their supplies, but what they have is fine.

I'll have to agree. The Bitz Barn isn't bad if you can't be bothered with trolling eBay. Battlewagon Bits; way too pricy on a number of things imho. For a good example of that, http://www.thewarstore.com/product27053.html .

Whoa!

You're not kidding! Ouch...

Anyway, I've used Bits and Kits more than a few times, even though I live in the US.

Good prices (I think, even with the conversion rates and all that) and a good stock of the sometimes harder to find bits.

I have had good experiences with BitzBarn also. I also use:

ApocaBitzNow: http://www.apocabitznow.com/ 40k and Forge World bits only but will order most GW boxes if you ask

Chaos Orc: http://www.chaosorc.com/ Carries a good stock of new and Out of Print with some good deals on piles of bits

Blackdagger Games on ebay: http://stores.ebay.com/Blackdagger-Games Bits only

Player's Cove on ebay: http://stores.shop.ebay.com/Players-Cove Has bits, used/OoP minis and big lots of used minis and/or bits

I mostly bought from BWbitz pre-WS. I still buought the occasional bit from them, but it's been a while...

ApocaBitzNow is AWESOME.

I use them as my standard bitz dealer.

Their customer service is also very, very good!

I use Hoard_*_Bitz and WizardGames on ebay to buy my bits, both in their auctions and their store. Most auctions start at $.99 and they list once a week.

I use Bartertown. (grin!!!!!!)

But when I am looking at an online retailer, I got to Bitsandkits.co.uk mostly.. they have a decent selection, the dollar/pound ratio right now is pretty good, and if you buy enough, they ship free.

Inside the USA, I use Bitzbarn.com and apocabitznow.com

Those are both sites with decent selection and good customer service.
