Tom Meier, who has been sculpting miniatures for 40 years is apparently shutting down his company. This note is posted on his home page: NOTICE: We will be closing the online store and not accepting any new orders after Dec 25th of this year. thunderboltmountain.com |

Thanks for posting this. I have not looked there in a while. I love the figures. |

Oh wow – I know everything comes to an end, but those are such beautiful figures. Already have several of the Legends – might just go for the complete set though. Always love Tom Meier's elves and orcs – he really captured Tolkien's vision. |

I grabbed a pack of his figs years ago in a bargain bin. They are the most beautiful minis I own – so much so that I've been too intimidated to try to paint them. I see that the one's I've got are no longer offered. They are four kings, I think of the North, South, East and West. |

Man, I might have to get some ballerinas(and support weapons) for my daughter. |

I need to make one more order…pronto! |

That blows. Tom Meier is really talented. I hope he keeps on sculpting for other companies. |

An enigmatic announcement. Will the figures continue to be available through another outlet? I sincerely hope he doesn't decide to go the Tom Loback route. It would be a shame to lose all that beauty. |

The blog link doesn't seem to go to his old blog unfortunately, just a placeholder page. |

This makes me sad, especially as I am broke and will not be able to buy those extra nice Elven Noble cavalry. |

I bought all the elves a while back, they are indeed beautiful. Just wish he had developed scale creep when he did Arthur. Guess mow is the time to get them before they dissappear. |

They haven't fallen within the purview of my projects for a long while, but I've always admired the sculpts tremendously. Hopefully someone picks them up. |

I haven't really played fantasy games in years but I have always admired his work and might just pick up some just to have as they are such amazing sculpts. |

This is sad news. Any chance Tom might re-release some of his classic OOP stuff before the end? I STILL am dying to get that Death's Door diorama! |
