My order from Stonewallfigures.co.uk arrived today. I am less impressed than if I'd never received them at all. The order was incomplete - no word why, no apologies for the delay, no response to my communication.
Taking the individual packs out, I wouldn't have been surprised if they had old Hotspur labels - they looked so scummy and beaten about. Certainly not new castings. Stonewall had used a flimsy padded envelope so a good number of the minis were bent at crazy angles to their base. Did they buy them at a Bring and Buy to fulfil my order?
Both the British Infantry Moving and MAWC packs show 6 figs on the website but only had 5 miniatures in each. Most annoying of all, was that half the SLR's, the defining feature of these figures, had their barrels missing - not even rolling at the bottom of the packets (still no excuse in my book).
Master Chef had a similar experience and had to pester them by phone to get his order.
Compared with the service provided by David at Britannia Miniatures plus the quality of the casting and packaging - Stonewallfigures.bastard.uk suck!
It is a real shame that Dave Allsops legacy lies with these people.
