Hi,

I am after some of the figures but live in the UK so it may be a problem...

After searching for companies selling the figures in the UK they are at stupid prices...(£5 a figure to $2.99 over there...) .

Anyone know of an alternative where I dont get totaly ripped off?

Cheers,

Just order them from the FFG website - I did. Its only $27.36 / postage for the whole set to the UK. Thats £135 for the whole set, including delivery to your door. It won't be cheaper ordering from the UK. You can order single figures too.

Anyone tell me how to get the card authentication process to work? I have tried many times yet it fails miserably. I rang the store

and tried an order over the phone only to be told the billing address doesnt match that on record with the bank. I have lived at this

address all my life and the same address was used last year to pre-order War of the Ring (exactly matches what is on the bill).

Now I'm left with nowhere to obtain this item for Xmas. Can anyone tell me exactly (with as much detail as possible) how they entered their details.

Did you put in a county? Did you put a space in your postcode? Was there any other boxes you used to assist the process?

I'm tearing my hair out with frustration at this problem as I have never had this kind of problem before. Its rubbish that there is nowhere in the EU or UK that

can distribute these items. I hate the fact I want to make a $280 order only to be told I cant and before you ask the money is there on the card for the purchase.

Please help as this is just crud

There's a place in Europe where you can find all the miniatures for 3.95 euro each. And they do send stuff to the UK. Don't know whether it's considered correct linking shops and so on on threads; in case you're interested, me a PM, and I'll gladly give you some info :-)

I had a similar problem. I ordered War of The Ring CE earlier in the year via the FFG website without an issue but when I tried to use my saved details to order the figures it came up with an error message that seemed to be saying there was something wrong with the card verification number. There was nothing wrong with what I entered, so I was stuck for a while after reentering my card verification number several times. I got round this by reentering all my card details in full, as though it was a new card, which sorted it out and allowed me to place the order.

Julia thanks for the assist. I'm really annoyed that my order for War of the Ring went through last year no bother and this year no joy at all. What is the name of this store? I'm looking for the full 48 figure and all the Cadwallon stuff. Its frustrating that I'm willing to pay out $280 for this stuff only to be told that I cant. I have seen on BGG that others from the UK have gotten their order processed no bother. I have tried my brothers VISA debit and mothers as its for me for Christmas. I'm going to try a credit card in case that is the problem but the details match the same as last time. I dont know what is going on as I made a rather expensive call to their store and still the same issue. They really need an EU or UK distributor for this kinda stuff.

Thanks for the help

I have already tried reentering my card details on ten occasions. It still does not work. So I'm saying to hell with it and going and spending the cash on a

rake of new boardgames in my local store. I will probably get a good discount with spending around £300 for Xmas there. These minis will hopefully get

stocked somewhere local at somepoint or appear of BGG or ebay. So I will hopefully obtain them later but as for this card authentication crap. I'm not impressed.

@ Erinshore: I dropped you a PM with all the data you asked me, hope this could help you in your search!
