Im not sure if this has been posted before, but I feel I have to ask anyway.
Does anyone know a good place online to buy Battletech products? I know that Fanpro and similar sites have "buy our stuff" links on them, but Im looking for someplace that I dont have to be a member or pay a monthly fee.
Someplace thats inexpensive, has a variety of stuff (minis, RPG, Maps, etc.) and will ship to Canada.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks.

I love FanPro's German online store. It has a huge variety, ships extremely quickly (and free of charge as of €25) and has, at times, downright outrageously low prices (compared to real stores and other online places).
So, unless people on the board tell you otherwise, I would actually recommend trying the official channels. I imagine the situation on the American continent shouldn't be very different to Europe!

I just bought from http://www.exodus-road.com/. They've got a pretty good selection. The orders sometimes take a bit longer to process than a larger store.

BattleCorps doesn't sell the printed copies of sourcebooks yet, but they do sell the minis as well as a host of other things. You don't need to be a member (although you do get 5% off if you are). They of course have the PDF versions of the sourcebooks being rolled out and are continuing to add new and interesting things. We should have decals soon.

I just ordered a couple of books from Stiggybaby. Just payed for regular shipping, but I've already had it confirmed that it's been sent out. I'll let ya know how long it takes.

Checking for used stuff on Amazon might also be in order. I've ordered a small stack of used AD&D and D&D books from US bookstores through Amazon, and they're usually good deals. The exchange rate is favorable and the USPS Global Priority Mail arrives at my home door in five days.

I get most of my gaming stuff on ebay these days; it's got the widest selection of stuff and you can get some bargains if you're persistent.
