While browsing, as one does I came across a site with a few bargain priced ships.

Company is Board game extras they currently have a couple of frigates going for £12 and some 74s for £14.25 with postage £2.25 so a chance to increase your fleets at a reasonsble price.
I dont know stock levels but have a look and you may grap a bargain

Well spotted Chris, but grab them whilst you can.
They are already running out of some ships.

Found another uk shop, never heard of these but they seem to have a number of ships in stock.

http://www.gameseek.co.uk/searchV2.php?c=All&k=Sails+of+glory

They currently have a clearance on the Le Berwick model @ £14.65, this is a Elizabeth class captured by the French
So buy one you can reflag to go back to HMS Berwick
The flip side is Le Swiftsure I think and a second Elizabeth captured, so buy another and you can reflag back to HMS Swiftsure, or with another reflag to HMS Irresistable as she was named after Le Swiftsure was recaptured at Trafalgar.
I just sent off so will see how the fare

For all American customers miniature market regularly discounts ships, always 25% off and some times as much as 50% off if you keep an eye out.

Used to live in St. Louis, and they have tons of ships with broken masts in their retail shop. Don't think you can order them online though. I got a couple frigates for 4 dollars each awhile ago. Sadly I moved away!

Ship arrived today via hermes 2nd class postage.
So company well worth a look.
The stock levels look pretty good especially for Le Berwick and Starter sets it seems.

Just received a package from Gameseek, ordered on Tuesday evening, 2nd class postage, free, and they arrived today.

So for £16 I now have another Spanish Heroe to become the French Heroes
Plus another Le Berwick to become HMS Ajax or Thunderer which cost £14.65

They seem to have plenty of stock if the levels are correct so I can recommend them the company has been top notch with my two orders

Have a look here as I think you may find the actual seller is Gameseek, which if you go direct and choose second class postage, they come free post.

I visited the Zatu Games shop yesterday morning. It is on a Business Park and was actually closed when I arrived because they are currently short of staff but I actually found their office first and they very obligingly opened the shop for me.

The staff were very friendly and helpful. The shop does not contain everything that is on the website, so I was advised to submit a 'click and collect' order beforehand, if there was something that I particularly wanted from the website in future, and they would arrange for their warehouse to send it round to the shop. However, I did buy a ship and a couple of aircraft.

Sadly, I must report from looking at their website, that their prices have increased substantially since yesterday.

A matter of supply and demand I guess Dave.
The same thing happened when I went round to a local store. They let me into the back store room where the products were gathering dust, but really good prices. I bought what I wanted, and wrote down the prices to let the chaps know how good they were. When they ordered the prices had somehow shot up overnight.
