    Who do you advance order from?

    I'd like to get the rumoured Ork flyer as close to release as possible but would rather not buy it at GW store prices. I'm in the UK and I've ordered from Wayland in the past but the last lot took 3.5 weeks to come...

    So I wondered if anyone can recommend a UK online/phone order company who are pretty prompt with advanced orders (if there is such a thing...) Otherwise I'll just have to drop into the local GW s

    Link isn't working.

    I hear Maelstrom are pretty good.

    The link does work - but it takes a bit of time for some reason.
    I definately second maelstrom games - an absolute wonder for those of us not in the UK but still within the embargo zone limits.
    Trying to convince Warseer that GW are anything less than perfect is like trying to teach a horde of zombies that lettuce is a perfectly acceptable alternative to brains.

    I received my Wayland orders relatively quick after release, and I'm in Austria. I'd think they're even faster in the UK, but that doesn't seem to be true in your case.

    Dark Sphere are generally excellent for GW stuff, almost always the cheapest, and prompt delivery too (though once delivery costs are taken into account, they're not cheaper by as much as the headline 25% discount would suggest).

    I stopped using Wayland for anything after experiencing their piss poor service these days. Maelstrom can be good, but have a reputation for orders not arriving. I've used Triple Helix in the UK and they've been pretty good in the past. Of course the best option would be to support your local FLGS if you don't like GW's prices. If you have one that is anyway, they do tend to be a rare beast in the UK.

    Thanks for the replies all. I'll check out some of those retailers, most of the names are new to me.

    Spiderpope: I actually discovered there's a new indy shop in St.Helens (which is 20mins in a car) today so I think I'll follow your advice and enquire there
