Their site is down. Did they die off? |

were they ever in the running? |

I actually bought some 15mm Gunships and Landers. They had some Neo-Sov grav I was contemplating. Ah well. |

Force XXI had some great models. Their 6x6 APC, grav scout and GEV trucks come to mind immediately. Not too long ago there really was not a lot of manufacturers into 15mm scifi. Force XXI did an excellent job of responding to customer needs and having and active presence on TMP. |

They were back for awhile, but not sure of their status now. |

He did come back but then I think he may have put things on hold, IIRC. |

Yes, like Combat Wombat, the guy running Force XXI was on occasion off in the sandbox <SNIP>, so his schedule was pretty irregular; Sorry if that is DHable, but it is the truth. |

Ah, good show then. if he is off serving, i hope all is well and he gets back and settled intact! |

The guy really couldn't make up his mind what he wanted to do. Wait for CloudCaptain to see this topic. Clonecommander |

I was under the impression that there were medical and personal reasons that the owner never really got this off the ground. I think he was former military, but not currently actively serving. In any case it is a loss, but this is a hobby business and if he does not think he can handle it, better to sign off than take orders you can't complete. Jeff |

Jeff is pretty much spot on there. Had to get a refund on an order that was never filled…was told that goods would be sent anyway. Nothing materialized. |

I've bought quite a few things from Mel at Fore XXI, I do beleave there were medical and personal reasons behind his
stuff being put on hold. He did have to go to the sand box for a bit but returned some time in 2009 (I think)after that is when the other issues happened. I have run accross a youtube vid of his Neo-Sov grav vehicles…says he is trying to open back up this summer? YouTube link |

Mel is an all around good guy who served his country in the desert and brought back some baggage. I ordered a good amount of stuff from him – sometimes it took a while to receive, other times stuff arrived as if by rocket. I hope he gets back into the business. Keith F. |
