Per a precvious post I have the ordering info for "Bugs, Mister Rico. Grosses
of them!"

OK the compnay is:

Oriental Trading Company inc.

PO Box 3407

Omaha, NE  68103-0407  USA

1-800-228-2269

http://www.oriental.com/ (A horridly slow website)

The Alien troops in question:

1: 1/2" (12mm) Ants Black  $1.50 US per gross #39-699

2. 2" (50mm) Spiders Black 1.80 US per gross #39-8

3. 3/4" (20mm) Black flies w/ clear wings $1.25 US per gross #39-46

They get you on shipping $&.00 US for orders under $35.00 If that's too steep,
my sister and I are putting in an order and I can pick up extra bugs for
whoeer wants them and mail them out.

Now having acquired a gazillion bugs, how do we empoly them in DS or SG?

Owen, and anyone else, Seriously I'm putting in an order for bugs and would be
more than happy to pick up extras for people, Cripes they're $1.50 a gross but
the postage is a bit steeper than it needs to be. Then I can send them out
snail mail from here to wherever and I'm sure it'll be cheaper. Heck I'll even
pay the postage myself. No big deal.

Hi ya Los,

If you are serious about this you might need to consider the effort involved
in sending a package to Oz (well the cost anyway). If you are serious in your
offer, I for one would be grateful for a 'bundle'and more than willing to pay
the postage.

Perhaps any other Australians might like to put in a joint (another pun)
order. I'm willing to foot the bill for the America to Australia postage and
it would likley only cost 45 cents to mail internally in Australia. Any other
Aussie takers?

Anyway, what is going to be the best approach for renumeration, as you
personally are unlikely to take VISA.

A barter system? How many 25mm OU Infantry figures would you like??

Back at ya,

Hey that'll work. Personally I make enough money that a few bucks and postage
isn't going to break me, but sure we can work something out with a few minis.
Serious though, find out how many you need. Like I said for the price of one
pack if GZG minis, you can buy like 6 gross of these things!
