Someone started a thread in 40k general about them, but I thought it might get a better response here.

Has anyone used Dicebucket? Super cheap pricing and not embargoed since it's based in the US.

However, a couple of things set off alarm bells. The first being it's a US online store with a cart system, which I was under the impression was a no-no. Second there's no user comments even though there's a comment system, which is strange. The third being how they ship - everything is unboxed and repacked in a single box, so you don't get original packaging.

Has anyone used them?

Most people use this...and they have a store.

I have purchased a large amount of figures from there, as have the people I game with.

All of the sprues are put into a couple of large bags and put into a box with peanuts.

Key part of what I mentioned - Dicebucket is not in Europe, thus not affected by the Europe embargo.

rcguy - good to know.

It is a no-no for retailers who get their stock directly from GW. There are a number of stores in the states that get their stock from other distributors and as they have no direct relationship to GW they are free to have shopping carts. Off the top of my head I've ordered from SciFi Genre, Noble Knight and ChaosOrc all of which have carts.

The only problem is the price on postage. Me and my friend ordered about 5 boxes or standard troops and it cost us 15 dolars for shipping!

Given the 40-50% savings, that's not a great deal.

Have never used them, and will never use them either.

You're ordering from a place in the US, what do you expect?

If you're in the US, they ship for free on any order over $70.

I've ordered from them afew times and i've been quite content with them. International shipping isn't too outragous depending on how much your ordering at a time too.

Thank you for your thought-provoking and totally-not-at-all-confusing input there Trondheim.

I just got a scout, devastator, and command squad. A friend also purchased a russ so we could get free shipping. Every thing was fine but one major thing, the command squad sprue had no champion head on it ...it was missing and in the bottom of the box was a loose tac marine head. Still with the money i saved i could have bought a couple of heads of ebay, just kinda grinds my gears a little.

No, but it seems cool.

ok... Why, if I may ask?


I just ordered a Space Marine commander.... will post here when the shipment comes.

I really like their prices on the parted out battleforces. Great values to be found on those for sure. The prices on their regular boxes aren't so impressive. 20% off is easy to find from an online retailer. Free shipping over $70 is a very nice plus though.

If you live in America. For those of us down south though...
