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 or fleabay.
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.

That might have saved several Wargames projects, thanks Fred

I’ve not seen them in store for 18 months and they aren’t on the web site (30mm are but not 25mm).
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.
