So if you have good links to order stuff cheap, or find stuff cheap, add a post! I'm personally looking for a good place to order paints and casting stuff pretty cheap. But then, you really don't find a customizer much cheaper than me... So cheap means CHEAP. Like Kilcarr's mom cheap.

To appease Pluv: http://wiki.joecustoms.com/wiki/Links

As with everything, let the buyer beware. If you've never done business with someone, feel free to ask around or take a look in our trader feedback forum. Note that Joecustoms does not vouch for any of the sources listed here, and Joecustoms is not affiliated with any of the linked parties in any way. The purpose of this thread is for fellow customizers to share useful links and resources with each other.

Please report any dead links

You do realize we have a links section in the wiki. Some of these sites are already listed. Any member can add a new one. If you have any trouble figuring it out you can contact Dream or chad_ghost.

I spent some time of this page today cleaning out some dead links and took the liberty of rearranging the shopping section. I created two categories Shopping General (links to maruader, small joes, etc) and then Shopping custom related. The edit box is teeeeny tiny but otherwise editing the pages are pretty easy if you just copy formatting.

Thank you very much for that.

Does anyone have a list of casters with online store? All I know of are listed. There was also someone with a store selling web gear, jackets, and lab coats in a soft resin that I can't seem to find.

For decals, you are better getting them from Hoard o Bits and many other secondary retailers. The decal sheets are completely worthless to most TG players as they are huge for the figures. A figure would practically have to be 2.75 inches larger than the standard 1 inch figure to be able to use them. ;-)

http://hoardobits.com

For example, revel in the prices...

Edit. The link I posed was up for less than 10 minutes and now the item is sold out. :lol:
