looking to pick some up and looking for the best prices.
any hidden secrets out there?

I think Miniature Market is the cheapest I have generally found. They come out cheaper then warstore and often their shipping is cheaper as well.

If I know of a site or sale I tend to post it up in that thread.

Miniature Market, Ebay and Dakka Swap Shop are usually where you can get pretty good deals. If you are patient Ebay and Dakka Swap Shop can get you the best deals. I usually wait until I make one big order at Miniature Market, because anything over $99 and its free shipping.

TEXAS TOY SOLDIER is a place I've used for a lot of stuff.

But I also use The Warstore and The Miniature Market too...

"Good deals" on Infinity stuff are rare on eBay, in my experience.

Texas Toy Soldier - Good but no way to see if its even in stock. I like to see if its there before I buy, and they seem to be slow on getting new stuff.

Ebay - Good luck! I check daily and it is a rare site to see any infinity not retail priced. If there is armies for sale its in the 500+$ range...

Warstore - prices are a little more then Miniature Market and they always charge the 6.95 for shipping.

Miniature Market - Best prices from any of them and 99$ its free, and comes in 3-4 days for me. Free fast shipping with best prices.

Bartertown/Dakka - I wouldnt say its rare, but its not very common. Prices can be best if you barter on price

Miniature Market = Winner

I wish I could say my FLGS because I like to support it, but man its prices suck big time. They charge higher then retail...by around 10-15% more. They claim its because they dont save much off E Figs (their distrubitor, but I have my doubts.

Example is Ajax is 19.95 EURO which is 23.65 USD. FLGS sells him for 27.99 USD. So a upcharge of 15%. Miniature market sells him for 19.19 USD.

I probably spend more time on Ebay and track things a bit more since I get bored during the workday. When looking for individual miniatures, they are more rare but often I find box sets for fairly good prices. I got a few box sets for $120 but would of cost me $160 at Miniature Market. I also was able to pick up Sun Tze and a couple other individuals for $14 which would of cost me $38.36 at MM. Most of my Yu-Jing and Aleph came from Ebay at better prices. To be fair though normally I wouldn't picked them up as I have a lot on my plate to paint already. I was picking up some good WH40K/Malifaux pieces and I tend to look at what other things buyers sell, when I saw the Infinity box sets or individual pieces, for combined shipping. I do use MM as my baseline though so that is where I draw the line.

MM is definitely the baseline and best choice.

I'm working on my LGS carrying Infinity but yeah, the prices for retail tend to always be more at a the LGS. Usually though new releases tend to be on par with online sellers, where older miniatures tend to have a greater difference. I like to support the LGS so I try to make it a habit to pick up a few things here and there, mostly though that involves sleeves for my board games since I need a lot. I've made some special orders though when I notice the pre-order is about the same (once you add in shipping).

I've actually gotten some good deals on Ebay. You've just got to keep an eye out. I've also noticed that The Warstore's ebay shop is actually cheaper than their webshop when it comes to Infinity, plus most of their Ebay shop stuff has free shipping.

On occasion, if you are lucky, FRP Games has Infinity stuff very well priced, but it's rare.

Yes, I think we all realize that eBay will occasionally offer up 'good deals' on Infinity stuff - if you keep an eye out for it and work at it and slog through it.

You can say that about anything on eBay!

When looking to go online and buy stuff?

MM probably 'wins'.

Absolutely! If you are wanting to find a specific miniature at the best price at any given time, then Miniature Market is the best. Sometimes you could find a better price at The Warstore but mostly Miniature Market beats them. It also appears that TheWarstore no longer does free shipping for orders over $99 either, making Miniature Market the premier shopping point for me most of the times.

Ebay is good if you don't really care about a particular model per say or starting a faction you may not have started straight out. I ended up building a couple factions lists that way slowly building up through some decent deals. But for the specific, quick search, definitely MM.

Too true. I do this occasionally on ebay, just sift through pages and pages of stuff searching for bargains.

Also, I wasn't aware the War Store no longer does free shipping on $100+ orders. When did that happen?

I'm not sure but I remember it clearly being listed on the website. I first noticed it a few days ago when I was looking to pre-order some things. Just to make sure it wasn't because I was pre-ordering I did a new cart but it was still charging me one flat rate. I can't find any listing on the website that shows they do $99 free shipping anymore, instead its replaced with one shipping cost no matter what you order. If you order one thing or 100, its still the same shipping cost. I guess it can sort be almost equivalent to free shipping but since the prices tend to be better at MM, I usually end up over there. It was a shame though since they had a few stock of items that MM didn't so I was going to make a purchase but decided against it.

Maybe I'm missing something but I couldn't find it.

Warstore is great, $7 flat shipping anywhere in the US and no sales tax on top of their prices. I haven't used Miniature Market but I've had nothing but good experiences with Warstore (have ordered 40k and WMH stuff from them in the past, my first Infinity miniatures arrive tomorrow)
