Was gonna order some stuff from them, mainly some studio mcvey stuff, which is quite awesome and collectors item type stuff, and therefore would command a premium price. I accept this.

However, I also saw they had some infinity, so I was gonna also order that. But wow, their prices are well into rip-off territory!

Example:

Nomads lizard TAG...$53.75

That same model can be had at the war store for $35.99! And their prices in general are about $4 lower for single figs. I don't wanna sound like a schill for the war store, but these prices are ridiculous.

Guess its clear who'll be getting my business for infinity. I'll probably buy the rare stuff from coolminiornot, as I don't see where else to get some of this stuff, especially the incredible studio mcvey stuff.


Anyone else have any issues with coolminiornot?

no issues, but i came to the same conclusion long ago...
i just buy the stuff that i can't find at a discount...
they do have some awesome exclusive products, and i happily support them bringing in European products, publishing the annual, and doing limited edition sculpts...

on the other hand, i would be stupid not to buy my Infinity, Freebooter, Helldorado, and others from The War Store...
i love CMON, and have shopped with them since 2005, but i love a bargain even more...

cheers

I've ordered quite a bit from them, but yeah, the prices are not great. Kinda like you mention, I accept it for the stuff I just can't find anywhere else. But I generally try to find stuff on the discount sites or locally first. Though, if I'm ordering anyway, sometimes it is cheaper to throw one or two more things in because I am paying for shipping anyway.

I've never had a problem with them, though. Shipping is well done and fast. So yeah, I just appreciate the stuff I can't get anywhere else and order the more readily available stuff elsewhere.

I got the little mold kit they have.

Was the best deal I've ever gotten. Has saved me hundreds of dollars.
