Well I can\'t argue with you there Undave lol
We have got a wanted list up on the site that lists a few of the most popular bits we will buy,
no prices though as it depends on what else you are selling. We have the new Chaos plastic boxes on pre-orderish so we should have those up on the site soon after release.
But don\'t worry we won\'t just have a few of each item in stock for ever, just for the next few months or so lol.

A cool thing that BW bitz did was a bits trade in service, where people could exchange their unwanted and un needed bits for store credit.
Would be cool to see that again bitzbox guy (hint!). They paid less for the traded bits than they sold them for (good business practice) and updated the list of the bits they were interested in buying on a regular basis, which I assume they did to manage their own stock levels and ensure they were not left with all the crap bits no-one wanted.
This may be a cool way for you to get more stock as well as offer another service to your clients.

I got mine yesterday.
I doubt it\'s worth it for 1 bag.
It\'s not really that much stuff. Fit in a 2inch by 5inch by 8inch box.
I got a bunch of SM shoulder pads, ton of arms, a few heavy weapons, numerous tank bits and bobs.
Half an alien head.
unidentifiable tao or eldar bits.
I was really hoping for more fantasy stuff, but all I got was 2 wood elf left arms (with bows).
Oh, and an ork head.
Basically didn\'t get an entire body of anything, but enough to make some of my marines look different.
So I don\'t think it\'s worth shipping to the UK unless you are buying a case of bits. One bag is definitely not worth that cost.

Found hte same thing. Had the page open on a bag of bits for 2 days waiting to ask my Wife if I could place an order, finally convinced her of the \'necessity\' then saw the shipping
That quicly put an end to that purchase.Roger Bunting

Well, my bag of bitz arrived today. I got mostly 40k stuff: tau parts including an ion cannon, IG heavy weapons, some arms, catachan arms and torso, vehicle bits, Space Marine arms, shoulder pads, black templars upgrade stuff, some chaos marine stuff including power fist and parts of the defiler. Also got some genestealer arms and weapons. For fanstasy I got saurus weapons, 4 pairs of wood elf legs, the night goblin shaman from the battle for skull pass set, some parts from the ogre kingdoms bull comand sprue, bretonnian musical instruments and the command flag, 2 khemri skeleton horses and one high elven shield. A reasonable variety I think though the postage cost was steep so not a particlarly good saving on bitz. Still, all I had previous to this were loads of skaven parts and a few inquisition stuff.

Ga! I forgot all about my bag that got here a couple of days ago! But I\'m to be forgiven since we FINALLY moved into our house. Sorry, but apartments suck. I should probably start a WIP on setting up the painting corner / room / basement. Anyway, let\'s see what I got...
... half a sprue of Ah-nold arms. Two guns, a chain sword and an ax. Not bad.
... maybe the front of a vehicle. Looks like a picket fence.
... turtle-like tyranid shell.
... a sprue of thin guns, a large mech disk and a small thing that looks like a model car starter.
... some poor knight is missing three arms.
... small baggie of holstered guns and pouches.
... oooo... a standard issue big gun!
... a flux capacitor. Maybe.
... some tyranid arms with a wil\' baby tyranid. Awww... \'es cute.
... five sets of knight arms. Man, there are a lot of armless knights running around somewhere.
... three sets of beer bellies and legs.
... sprue of keg-like chests. Maybe to go with the beer bellies?
... five space marine heads, with gas canisters?
... three Holy Handgrenades of Antioch. Or something similar.
... some bases.
... big handful of loose stuff: an angel emblem, some shields, a sandbag with a knife in it, bunch of arms, lots of guns, bunch of heads, some ogre-like head, half a helmet, human skull and a tau head on a spike, couple of female torsos, a couple of marines torsos, more pouches, couple more skull emblems, and a Wolverine power fist.
I\'m going to have to do something with the power fist and the BFG. :twisted:

One of the things I got were a set of icons, possibly for shields. I haven\'t identified them but they are of a hand in the devils horns kind of pose, holding a crescent shaped object.
I also got the gnoblar from the ogre kingdoms command sprue, yay.

I\'ve ordered two bags but still waiting for my stuff. Typical that the royal mail are on strike. I want my bits. Will post what I got when I get them.

Necrophilia, I know, but got my bags, had them sent to uk so I was slow to pick them up. To be honest, whole lot of stuff I probably won\'t use, I was really after an assault cannon from a termi or a landspeeder, but then who wasn\'t. I Just wonder if of all the people who bought the bags, any one got anything that they considered to be vaguely useful?
And on another note, if anyone is after any bits, or has any they like to swap/trade have a look at THIS THREAD on the trading post board.
