Hello!

I know that this ex Grenadier range was sold on my Mega Minis a few years ago, and that the company that bought them subsequently went bankrupt.

But has there been any further news on this range? It's too good to just disappear, even if it's 25mm rather than 28mm.

It was such a shame when Mega Minis sold that range. I used to buy from them occasionally and always got great service. I would look at the Julie Guthrie sculpts on the website and tell myself one day I am going to buy one of every figure in the range. I was gutted when I discovered they were no longer available.

Many of the folks who bought ranges from Mega Minis have gone belly up. I guess they failed to read the thread on the blog from Johnny Borg on cottage businesses and crowd funding!

It's a real shame, as I doubt we'll ever see many of them again.

This came up about a month ago, TMP link

I very much hope someone puts these figures back into production before too long.

Sorry, I missed that previous thread.

I got a letter from John one year asking me to promote his kickstarter. I was like WTH? You killed your company and now you want me to help you promote another one?

He didn't help promote mine so flip him, he had his shot and blew it.

He worked hard at it for years and never got ahead. There were things he had I'd have liked to get but there was also a lot of crap. Still, you can't fault a guy for moving to a business model that works for him. Too many people lose money hand over foot in this industry and never get anything but grief from the so called fans.
