Battlewagon bitz seems to be shut down by GW. I used to go there for my various bits needs. What are some good ones besides auction sites.
Thanks

Won't be Warhammer bitz obviously, but Privateer Press has a Parts section of their online store that sells all the different bitz from their metal figs.

Bits & Kits UK and Horde'O'Bitz are the two places I order from. The former restocks infrequently, but often has the best selection. The later always has heaps of stuff available, but it's usually in bundle format rather than specific parts.

Any sites that part out finecast blisters? I'd love to get my hands on five of the new Dark Eldar Medusa heads, without paying some $40 for three models.

You'll find a few if you search for 'finecast bitz' but I doubt this will help you much with the Medusae. Anyone parting them out will be forced to price each head at close to half the cost of the entire kit to avoid having their profits annihiliated by unsold bodies.

... and slow shipping. I had ordered some Bitz from them on the 18th and it turns out they didn't ship until 11 days later, and then they used the slowest possible shipping.

I've had a good experience with Blackdagger Games on eBay. Pretty good 40k selection and fast shipping.

You have an American flag, so here's a couple of American eBay sellers, if you don't mind paying a bit more than I think BuyItNow should be for most things. You can get deals from their bid auctions, too.

What he said. In the last 4 years I've used all three of those sites many many times without being let down. All three have ebay siites/stores as well for even cheaper buying (if you do the eBay thing).

I've just finished a transaction with Hoard O Bitz, and been thoroughly unsatisfied with the result. He's rather awkward, and unhelpful on the Customer Service Front, and I won't be using him again.

I always use Hoard o Bits or Wizardsgames (eBay store is Red Dragon games ) for my ebay bit purchases if I want it cheap and can bid for better pricing. If I need it quick I now use Hoard O Bits website. Never had a problem in years with either.

I've had good experiences with www.thewarstore.com, Hoard O Bitz and Bitz Barn.
Bitz Barn took a while to ship but I got everything fine.

I've ordered from both Bitz Barn and Hoard o Bitz and as many others have mentioned, Bitz Barn is horribly slow in shipping. They won't respond to your emails either until you do something drastic like open a paypal dispute. I'd avoid them at all costs. Hoard o Bitz on the other hand has been great. Great prices, fast shipping (from US to Canada) and great communication.

When I was back in the UK, I used Bitz Box a great deal and found them excellent.

I also, on occasion, used Bits and Kits and also found them good.

As Ketara mentions, I've had trouble communicating with Hoard O' Bitz.
However, being in the states really helps. I just ordered 2 screaming bell bases from them earlier this week and had them something like 3 days later (yesterday). So, that experience was absolutely perfect...
Overall, they are my current favorite source for bits, despite the difficulty in communicating (which I've encountered with most power sellers).
