I just want a basic set with range ruler, who has the best deal?
Edited by bmwriderCheapest price for plastic maneuver templates & range rulers?
It's called google. Try it out.
Applied Perspective has pretty good prices... I have the mirrored silver ones and they look awesome.
amazon sells clear ones by litko for $20, they are not fancy, but I don't know of any cheaper.
Applied perspectives offers a full set for $18.50
applied perspective is cheap and fast AND good quality.
if you are willing to wait 2-4 weeks there is an Etsy shop that makes great templates for ~$15.
I like this style of templates and tokens. There under $20 but not sure freight costs.
Greenman Designs has a Kickstarter going on right now. Full set of templates at the $15 pledge level.
This is the link to the Kickstarter. Really nice stuff.

Really productive thing to say, nice job.
Looks like the kickstarter temps are the cheapest and youre standing up a small business owner at the same time
Applied perspective, excellent pricing and fast delivery. And, top notch quality. Extremely happy with my mirrored silver ones.
Go AP. They're great.
It's called google. Try it out.
Or it's called ask a community of people that might know from experience?
Don't be a d*ck.
I'm also happy with the templates and rulers from Applied Perspective, both for quality and price.
I have transparent rulers from Applied Perspective as well. While my color choice I may slightly regret, the quality of the product is excellent. The cheapest options come in at $16, opaque/transparent/fluorescent.
Wouldn't the applied perspective's divider lines on the straight templates give additional distance information therefore making them not legal for tournament play?

I requested mine without the divider lines.
making them not legal for tournament play?
No, not unless someone actually complains about them. The rules don't really say anything about it, only that if one side doesn't like the 3rd party product, then both players have to agree to a single set of templates. So even if someone did complain they couldn't simply stop the other person from using them, they'd have both share a common set.
A TO may rule them unsuitable in which case the person would have to replace them with something else.
But those lines don't in of themselves make the AP stuff invalid. Plus as MajorJuggler said you can order them without the dividers.
I play this game a LOT and have only found the dividing lines to be an issue once. I showed my opponent what I was seeing and why I thought it might be an issue, just so that we both had the same information. And it turned out not to matter.
Still, I recommend getting them without dividing lines. At some point I'll replace my current set, and I expect that AP will stop offering them eventually.
Edited by DagobahDaveApplied Perspective. Definitely.
I'll talk with Adam about leaving the dividing lines off by default. I think that's the way people would prefer them.

I think that would be for the best yes. I honestly don't see a problem the dividing lines myself, they really don't provide much in the way of useful information and both sides get whatever info there is.
But if I were to order another set I'd get them without the lines.
I'd say it's really not worth going with cheap if you're getting acrylic. I recently picked up a set of corsec templates from my FLGS on the cheap (20% off for their grand reopening) and I've been pretty disappointed. They're about half a millimeter off from the standard templates. They do look stellar on the mat, but I'll be reverting back to my cardboard for upcoming store champs.
Definitely take the time to research the templates prior to ordering. Spending an extra $10 on templates from a reputable source is definitely worth it.

Half a millimeter? Your cardboard templates are probably the problem, not your acrylics. Compare your cardboard to those of other players and you'll probably notice the inconsistencies.
