I havent seen any in Wilkos for ages and I've been looking since last year. I think they caught on to us. I got a raised eyebrow or two for bag stuffing from the till ladies but I wasnt doing anything wrong, the offer is fill a bag! You can get them from B&Q for about £3 for a bag of about 10 😢

Just bought the Essex elephant I should have bought with the crew, which turned up this week and are lovely figures. I think Essex get overlooked a lot, some dodgy sculpts in some ranges but every so often they get it right but only ever one pose for a particular type, which doesnt bother me too much as it gives an old school look to my DbA 25mm army.

Amazon - tax dodgers
Fleabay - postage?
Boyes - don’t think they operate in Scotland.
B&Q - not often found and expensive
Screwfix - they look possible, planning to investigate this week.
I get lockdown, but I get up again.

That might have saved several Wargames projects, thanks Fred :moredrink:

This could change my whole basing style😱
Still got plenty in Chester but they ran out a few months back. It may just be a local thing. I'll get a bag full on Wednesday just to be safe.

Well that’s comforting. I was chatting with Neanderthal and he has no problem getting them in Essex. I wonder why Scotland seems to have a problem with supply. I think I need a talk with Mr Wilko.

A decent brief would always advise to use the 'only for personal use' defence.
