I'm wondering if anyone here's dealt with Build-A-Rama, I'm interested in hearing about the quality.

Also has anyone who isn't in the US bought from them? I've looked over their site but can't find any shipping policies and don't want to chance it.

Hi
I ordered some stuff from them a couple of months ago for dios - rubble, bricks, tires, metal fencing, oil drums etc I seem to remember that you order on their site and then they send a Paypal request for the shipping... about $15 in my case (I'm in the UK)
Hope that helps

Although I am in the US I have ordered from them.

Some of the rubble ect is a bit on the flimsy side (foam ect) to be fair I can't think of a better way to do it.

The stowage, crates ect are the best IMO.

THe only thing I ever ordered that I wasn't happy with was some generator from the Sci-fi sets, it was spray painted and the paint didn't dry too well, very sticky. but that is one out of about a dozen products I got from them and was very satisfied otherwise.

The only other thing I can think of is that it has been a while since I ordered cause I got everything I wanted and they really never expanded the 1:18th scale area as much as the other scales. but the orders I got they shipped pretty fast and had no problems.

I have ordered a lot from them, they make great quality stuff. Mark, that runs the place, is a friend of mine and a real nice guy and joe fan. (he even sponsored my hiss tanks I entered in a contest, and hooked me up with tons a free gear.) If you order from him you will not be dissapointed

As you may or may not be aware I'm in Australia, and I've ordered from them a couple of times without a problem. I can't recall the exact shipping charges but I know they were fair. The quality of their stuff is top notch.
