I have a favour to ask...

Howdy folks, as the title suggests, I have a favour to ask y'all.

I'm trying to get a hold of the bust "octopus" from JMD minis. (this lad: http://www.jmd-miniatures.com/zoom_article.php?src=images_niveau2/54/thumb_1.jpg&id=54)

I'm fairly sure I could just buy it from JMD themselves, but I'm a bit worried about shipping, as the costs aren't listed (or findably listed, at least) on their site.

I could use this site: http://www.arcaneminiatures.co.uk/jmd-miniatures.asp , but they seem to ship direct to the registered paypal address, as the checkout process at no point asked for my addy or any other details. As my CC is registered back in the UK, and I live in Japan, this would be less than ideal. I emailed em to ask, but after a week, no reply...

So, does anybody know of anywhere else I can get this bust without paying an arm and a leg for it (or postage)? In Japan would be lovely, but I'm aware that that's a tad on the stupidly optimistic side of things

any ideas would be much appreciated, thanks.

QFT, Spent a while talking to him as we are both from the same close geographical area and have close sounding accents.

brilliant - thanks a lot, folks. I'll check out the SK site, and also email JMD. Hopefully they can cope with English, as all the French I learned in school has been supplanted by the Japanese forced into my head over the past few years...Je voudrais chisaina puramoderu wo hitotsu onegai s'il vous plais.:silly!:

*edit* actually, I'll likely just use SK minis. Price is good, and shipping is good too. Going right into my favourites, that place is

Thanks again.

Another plug for SK Miniatures from me: top service and good prices; at the time I ordered the JMD Aviator bust Steve's price was the lowest I could find - significantly cheaper than from JMD themselves.

Sorry - I shouldve said this sooner. I ended up ordering it from SK minis, and it's already in the post, and moreover I got a personal email from the chap in charge thanking me for my order and for what I said about him. (I mentioned everyone's recommendations here. He seemed pleased )

Thanks again all for the good advice.
