And now....a break from pulpy stuff as Battlefront comes through!!!

Well, I am taking a bit of a break from the 28mm Pulpy stuff to squeal with joy like a porked piglet over the recent arrival of my Battlefront order!

Back in April, BF ran a Vietnam sale in which they dropped the prices of their Vietnam stuff down; I mean waaaaaaaaaaaaaay down. Now, me loving modern-isque 15mm stuff, and definitely needing some armor and some "combat stuff" for Bongolesia's neighbor to the South, The Fandango Republic, (FR), I decided to partake in it.

So BF sent me my order....

Cobras, Bulldogs, and a Duster....oh my!

But I couldn't let the FR have ALL the fun, so I order some BTR-50's for the NDF. This will round out the last of the NDF equipment.

They may not look purty, but they'll get you from "Point A to Point B"...as long as they don't get hit with heavy weapons fire first....

But I was disheartened because a good portion of my order didn't come in.

So about a week later BF sent out an email explaining that the sale went "so well", that it went a little "too well", and they were out of stock of lots of things...and would be filling back orders as soon as possible. A couple more updates like that, and then all went quiet.

So about two weeks ago, after a four month wait, I sent them an email. A CSR responded back to me that "yes they had bit off more than they could chew with this sale", and that due to a PC crash they had lost a lot of orders.

I sent him back a response and a copy of my invoice and showed him what was missing.

In good faith, they replied and sent everything that they were supposed to.

So I got home the other day and ooooooh!; a nice package for me.....

With much salivation and eager fingers, I opened it and this is what I got.....

M48's, Armored Kiddie Cars....errr....I mean M113's...an M577 to try to give some type of Command and Control, a RR team, and crew and passengers for the M113's..... Life is indeed good!

So needless to say I am very happy as I have gotten my latest "OOH SHINY!" fix.....

BF's communication was good, professional and they honored the issue. You really can't go wrong with this type of service. If only more companies out there in the industry could do this, then there wouldn't be as much grief....

I see some potential "Border Disputes" between Bongolesia and The Fandango Republic, coming up real soon....

And my quest for decently priced 15mm/100th scale CH-47's goes on.....
