I like Bob's minis. I have quite a few. Just found out that after several years, Brigade will no longer be selling them as of June 12. First – go get them while they got them. Second – anyone know what happened? I haven't seen Bob in a couple of years; is he doing okay? I'd hate for ill health to be the problem. |

Word is Bob will stop making them. A group of us just got an order that was placed just because of that. |

Oh crap! Those are fantastic minis! Does this have something to do with Bob's health. I hope not. |

Crud. Gotta place an order. |

Oh no, that's very short notice :( Will have to try to buy some today. Bob has given much joy to the hobby best regards to him. |

Bob missed Cold Wars and at the time Lon didn't know why. He was supposed to be there. I'll see what I can find out. |

I don't buy anything larger than 18mm these days but when I did I must admit I harbored some "lead lust" for some Parroom Station figures. I hope this is not health related… |

If anyone else read this and panicked like I did -- Don't Panic (to coin a phrase). Bob is not facing any health issues, however, the Brigade Games announcement did catch him off guard according to this: parroom.net/blog2/?p=319 And apparently Brigade is being slow to come to an accounting with status of the molds, etc. So it sounds like Parroom will be looking for a caster -- but that can't happen until Brigade Games plays fair. I really hope this gets settled and someone picks up this excellent range! Best, Nick |

…until Brigade Games plays fair. I've been hearing from both sides, and as I said elsewhere, one should assume there are three sides to every story. I wish well to both Bob and Lon, and hope they can understand they started with not entirely in sync understandings, and part amicably. Doug |

"however, the Brigade Games announcement did catch him off guard" Not really possible when one is told that they would like to end a relationship. Things are in the process of winding up, molds being returned and business being concluded. As TheBeast said, a lot more involved than what has been presented and it is no one's business but ours. |

From a purely selfish point of view,I hope the range will be saved and accessible in the near future. |

Lon, I hope you understand I wasn't prying for juicy gossip. I just know that Bob's getting older, and was concerned about him. The details of the (unfortunate) cessation of your joint venture are, of course, between the two of you. -J |
