So yesterday I was having a discussion with some people who were looking for wooden trains and pirate ships for their prototypes. I pointed them at spielmateriel.de (Mayday Games also has trains, but no pirate ships).
And that got me to thinking. I have a personal list of go-to places for bits, but a central repository would be excellent. Does such a thing exist, a database or even a web page that lists links to good places to get cubes, meeples, and other bits for games?
People have made lists in the past but if they are not maintained they soon become useless having more bad links than good. Feel free to post your list here.
Here's mine:

Thanks for the list it will come in handy!
Cheers,
Eric
