The Brexit Alternative: Turol Games

 So here we are, the first order received from alternate sources now post Brexit.

The first tested store: Turol Games from Spain.

 

I made the order on the 24th of january, and got a dispatched mail on the 27th.  The actual parcel arrived then on the 1st of february.

As you can see, this is how it was packed, and what the contents where.

I went for an older line of models, the anime styled figures from Relic Knights because they still had a wide selection.  The whole range is about 7% off, and considering the high roller prices these are sold on eBay and the likes even pre-Brexit as "hard to find", that is not a bad number.

The online store is easy to navigate, and signing up only took a few minutes.  You can select to become a registred member for some benefits as well, which offers loyalty points... but not on discounted models, which is about everything in the Miniatures Section, so that really doesn`t have any use...

Shipping then.  Spain isn`t cheap, like Belgium, and using Seur Classic, the cheapest option, that still adds 18.15 euro to the total.  An additional downside is that paying by Paypal also mounts to a 3.4% + 0.35 cent surcharge, so in the end you have around 4% discount only.

That means the total order of goods for 34.60 euro came to a total of 55.34 euro invoiced, and the only free shipping on the site is 50 euro + for mainland Spain only.

So in conclusion, is this a viable source for my miniature needs?

+ They have some obscure miniature lines that I like still in stock

+ Easy to navigate webstore

- Unless paying by international bank transfer or MasterCard, the Paypal fee kills the reduction

- Not much use for the Loyalty sytem

Will I order from them again?  Yes, for my RK needs, but I doubt for much else outside that which can be found at other sources should I get more testing done in the coming weeks.
