Old Glory Uk FAQ's

 

Q. Do you sell your miniatures individually?


A. No NEVER. The miniatures are sold only as packed. We have so many miniatures in various scales that selling individuals would be a logistical impossibility.

Q. Why are the packs so big?


A. They are not. Your armies are too small!. We tend not to think in terms of individual miniatures but UNITS
This is why we manage to make so many variants at such a reasonable price. Most of the "small-pack -fewer-variant" companies- i.e. almost everyone else have prices that work out at around £1 per miniature or even more our products can work out up to 50% less expensive and are normally 20-30% cheaper than many of our competitors.
The payoff for the variation and competitive pricing are the slightly larger packs. This enables decent sized high quality armies for moderate outlay.

Q. Are all the miniatures in a pack identical?


A. No Never. It simply is not possible. The variants are packed at random within the code. Then those packs which include command have the appropriate command figures added.
Normally think in terms of 3-5 variants for regular troops, 5-10 for irregulars. Cavalry tend to have the lower numbers of variants but in addition get horse variants. Also many ranges have head variants in ADDITION to the body variants. Check out the article "OLD GLORY PACK CONTENTS" for more details.

Q. What about Command Decision 15mm. WW2 and Modern Ranges. How are they packed?


A. Tanks are in packs of 3 vehicles as are most trucks armoured cars etc. Some small items such as Jeeps are in 4s or 6s Guns tend to be in 4s or 6s depending on how big they are and how many pieces they are in.
Infantry packs are 50 miniatures or in the case of weapons 50 pieces -ie weapons and crew in the same pack.

Q. What about the new 10mm Ranges. How are they packaged.


A. Basic infantry come in 100s. That is 20 strips of 5 figs per strip in a single rank. Command packs and Flank companies have 10 strips ie 50 figures. Skirmishers come as packs of 50 individuals as do Artillery crews. Cavalry are in 30s and mostly have separate horses though Napoleonic Lancers for instance are one-piece castings. Model guns are in packs of 12. Limbers etc are in packs of 6 complete teams with appropriate drivers.

Q. Why don't you do DBA/M/R or (insert name of rule set here) armies?


A. We don't make our miniatures specific to any set of rules- with the possible exception of Command Decision. We've always assumed our customers prefer to work out their own armies using their own brain. There are simply too many sets of rules out there for a real miniatures company to do this so we don't.

Q. Are your miniatures available painted?


A. Not "off the peg" There are painters details on the site- usually in the picture captions. We can organise it done for you if you wish but you will need to talk to us to decide what you want. There will be a charge for this service of 10% of the cost of any painting work that is done in addition to the cost of the figures etc. We can also organise Diorama building Terrain construction etc. Frankly all sorts of stuff is possible but you need to talk to us. As an example in the past we have done work for the BBC and the Armies of Borodino for a private client. We can take the strain but such a service does not come cheap.
One of the advantages of such a huge range of miniatures is that you don't have to spend hours searching around for little tiny companies who might do half a range before they go bust. Its all here over 3000 packs of miniatures in 6 different scales.

Q. Why isn't (insert name of pack here) photographed?


A. Mainly because "Man shall have only three score and ten years to his span of life!!!!" Remember that we have roughly 4500 products on the site and still growing rather than the tens or few hundreds of other companies At the moment we have well over 300 photographs of painted miniatures on the site with a steady trickle being constantly added.

Q. Why are the prices different on the US website?


A. This is simple. All the miniatures are cast and packaged at our US factory then shipped across the Atlantic. Once they enter the UK and EUROPE VAT and import duty are levied by customs. This would also happen if you tried to buy direct from the USA.
Old Glory UK deal with all this for you and still provide miniatures at a very competitive price compared with other companies.

Q. I made an order and only received part of it.


A. Don't Worry. Because all the miniatures are actually cast in the USA- even if our designers are British- then sometimes I run out of stuff because people buy it !!. If your order is short a bag or two it will be marked on your invoice/receipt enclosed in your parcel. The missing items will follow on as soon as more supplies arrive.
If you wish you can always email or phone to find out the status of missing packs. There might be a bit of a wait but you will get your stuff.

Q. Do I have to order through the website?.


A. No not if you don't want to .We still take orders and do business the Old Fashioned way as well. You can phone us on 01207 283332 or send your order by letter. We accept cheques in sterling, Postal orders or I.M.O.s And of course you can always see us at the shows we attend-look at the NEWS for which shows we do. Remember to get the “6 for 5” deal you will have to use the phone as there are simply to many possible variants for the web site to handle.
If you want more info phone us or email us. We will help if we can.

Q. What about the Fantasy and Horror ranges that are on the OLD GLORY US website I can't find them in the UK.


A. We do carry the Blue Moon Manufacturing range of Fantasy and Horror models – though not all of them. There are several ranges that appear on the US site Old Glory 25s that we do not carry as stock simply due to lack of space and demand. However we CAN ORDER THEM FOR YOU it simply takes a little time. The procedure is simple, phone or email us your order with your payment details and shipping address. We will then give you a UK price including shipping from here to you. Once we agree then we will add your “special order” to our next stock order and then ship it to you once it arrives from the USA. This can take a few weeks but you will get your order.

Q.I'm looking for 15mm ranges but can't find any on the site.


A. We now carry all the Bluemoon Manufacturing 15/18mm historical figure ranges and can "special order" the SF fantasy and buildings ranges. These have replaced the oldglory15s ranges which we stopped carrying several years ago and IMHO are cracking little models. Just look at the pics. As the ranges grow more periods will become available.

Q.I've waited a long time for my order what is happening?


A. Sometimes we run out of stuff cos chaps buy it. I order from our US factory on a monthly basis. This order then usually takes about 4 weeks to get to me as the factory has to make them. Then there is about a weeks transit time across the Atlantic so if I run out of stuff at the beginning of a month it can be a while before I get more. However you will get your stuff no matter how long it takes. if you are concerned drop me an email for an update. Of course this does not happen with the stuff made in the UK.

Q.Does all your stuff come from the USA?


A.Most of it does but by no means all. We now make several ranges here in the UK. As follows:
Lil' Flyin Fokkers range of 15mm (1/100th scale) Aircraft

15mm Command Decision CDMOD and CDMV ranges

Brooks Miniatures 28mm Moderns – all ranges

Romanoff Miniatures – 40mm all ranges

JACDAW Miniatures 40mm all ranges

JACDAW Miniatures 30mm all ranges

US and Canadian customers can now buy these ranges direct from the Old Glory UK website
