So I am just getting into the miniature collecting hobby and I am wondering where I start. I've found a couple of webshops in the Netherlands but most of them only have some very low stock of Pathfinder mini's or none at all. So my question is, what are some good places to buy boosters, singles etc. Doesn't have to be Netherlands only, EU is okay! Importing from US is way to expensive though. Any tips?
The summoner (http://summoner.nl/) sells some Pathfinder Battles, but not a lot and no singles. I've also been looking but this is the only webshop that sells this in the Netherlands that I've found so far.
EDIT: Also, if there are any others from the Netherlands, it might behoove us to set up a way to keep in touch to promote trades and such.
Same problem in Belgium :-(
I've ordered two batches of singles from US based sellers on e-bay recently and ended up paying a ridiculous amount to Belgian customs and taxes (about 50 % of what I paid, and yes, they charge you on the total sum, which includes shipping).
There are some EU sellers on e-bay as well, at least one in the UK and one in France, but they usually don't get their stock until later, so if you miss their new batch, you risk missing out on some of the rarer or more popular mini's. By then it is usually harder to find them for a decent price in the US as well and shipping costs make it unwise to order just one or two mini's from over the Atlantic. So you have two choices, wait for the EU sellers to get their products in and risk missing out on some of the figs you want or buy them in the US and pay a huge amount to your government (I feel inclined to use some bad language here, but I won't because of messageboard etiquette, not out of respect for my country in this issue).
I'd certainly be interested in learning where to get single mini's in the EU for a decent price.

Yes, I like summoner, good prices! I think I will buy a brick from the upcoming series.
I agree, we need to keep in touch so we can trade with fellow dutchies and belgians! Any ideas on this?

I was afraid of that yeah, that sucks man. Let's stay in touch though, think of a way to get a Benelux trade going or something. I'm sure there are more people around these parts that collect them.

Thanks Cyria, very expensive though! But maybe good to get some hard to find mini's.
Been thinking, would there be any interest in a Pathfinder miniatures message board for people from the Benelux, you know, to trade and discuss etc? I have some server space which I'm not using a lot at the moment so I could set something up, if there is any interest. Let me know.
I'd be interested.
