Hi everyone,

I have been looking for some bits recently, but cannot for the life of me remember the name of the webstore that sells them.

Does anyone know any good places to buy bits in relative bulk? (i.e. 50 warriors of chaos capes, and 100 'bearded human' heads)

you're better off buying the box from a discounted retailer.

No one sells single bits in that kind of bulk that I know of.

http://hoardobits.com/cgi/hob/index.pl

They sell bits in small lots according to use. Other sites sell single bits but often only have a few of any given item in stock.

There are really only 3 ways to get large numbers of the same bit:
1. Collect them over a long period of time, buying them up as you find them. This can take months or years.
2. Find a recaster site that happens to sell the item you need. Email them and explain that you want X amount of the piece and they should be able to make them for you. Note: this is illegal and not recommended.
3. Recast the piece yourself. Notes: also very much illegal(even for personal use so don't start with that excuse), huge learning curve in mold making and resin casting processes. Ends up costing a pretty penny before you get the results you want.

There is always the very unlikely possibility of someone having 50 capes from that box who will sell them. I wouldn't count on that happening.

Absolutely this.

eBay is your best bet. Hoard O Bits is great. As is Black Dagger Games.

I have had dealings with Black Dagger several times, and have never once been disapointed in any way.

Black Dagger Games is my go to for EVERYTHING bits related, cheap and reasonable shipping with a great selection. My issue so far is I keep having things come up where I need bits... a week or two after my bulk bits order XD
