I think they are actually sold out. The Normans were one of the first Mini-Sets so the are very rare. Unfortunately. Maybe you have a chance at a fair.

I wrote to Strelets maybe about a year ago, asking if they have Archers available anywhere. They wrote that a Norman big set (with multiple boxes) will be released at some point (either this or the next year, but I would take this with a pinch of salt). The Legion in battle can be found in a bigger set that's still avialable on Hannants.

If Mr. Garand won't take them, I might raise my voice to volunteer as a tribute to buy them... :)

I find it helpful just to Google what it is I want to buy in the way of rare books or toys and model`s. In this case I Googled: Pictures of Strelets Normans and found them all for sale within the picture Gallery Option.The sprues of Strelets Archers are priced at 2 euros each but they make their huge profit from the shipping cost they pile on 9 -18 - 25 euros depending on where you are. (If you have lots of money. You can make a better deal if you need hundreds by sending them E-Mails.) However "Just how bad do I need them ?" Is the question to ask yourself.There are lots of new Strelets sets of Roman figures which are much more the affordable option and by far better models then the older sets. This I know because I have bought them.

Google : Battalions and Hordes.
They have Strelets R mini Moo2 Norman Archers.Plus others you want. Price per sprue 2 euros + Shipping!

So guys whatever it is you want, Google it! BB
