Stores:
These are well known stores selling recast of some major brands. In most cases I found the discount not worth the hassole. Remeber foreign countries shipping takes a lot of time and customs may hit your package making the purchase more expensive. Is it worth it?
Coolcastornot (China)
Changed their name many times, now operating via email sending emails with links to the actual catalog. Mainly Forgeworld and resin copies of Games Workshop plastic kits. Also several Rackham miniatures. All I can say is that the metal quality is horrible. I got several figs from them, all ended up at GW legal that promptly provided me with a letter to get a refund via Paypal.
Forgeworld Discount (Russia)
Same as above, mainly FW recast, same story after the purchase I was suspicius. Sent them to GW and all where confirmed as recast models. Other then that my total savings was a bit above 50$ after shipping. I ended up paying 49$ customs duties... not worth the wait. )I have been told they are not Russian but French. Can anyone confirm. The strange thing is that they have a UK based office? With a phone number? WTF....

Center Hobby (Russia)
Another Russian based store. Never used personaly, but got good indication that they are selling recasts. Any information on them please contact me.
All4Wargamers (Russia)
Russian based, selling mainly FW recasts. Same as above 25% discount is not worth it if you got to pay import taxes.
Cadwallon (Russia)
Russian based, selling mainly FW recasts. Same as above 25% discount is not worth it if you got to pay import taxes. WE JUST GOT A NOTE FROM THEM THAT NOW "THEY AGREED" NOT TO SELL RECAST ANYMORE. IN FACT THE ON-LINE STORE IS NO LONGER CARRYING RECAST FW ITEMS. Lets see if they won't rapear under a new store or name. I saved the box with the address I received it from. But for now they are clean as far as I can see.
Not Failcast (N/A)
All I know is that they sell recast miniatures, just ordered a week ago a few items, the package hopefully will give me their address or at least the country of origin. I suspect them beeing from Russia.
