Their webpage has been saying that the webshop is temporarily closed for a while, and now the domain has expired. Anyone know what's going on, and if there's hope the figures will be available again?

Uh Oh.

I never got some of those Feudal/Crusades figs I wanted.

It's a good thing I got all my GNW stuff all in one go.

I know the owner sadly passed away. He was a great gentleman and a pleasure to do business with. I did hear something about a family member possibly re-opening the business, but I don't have any specifics. Alain Touller was also a fine miniatures maker in France who passed away, and his line has vanished from the marketplace as well. Sad.

A number of family members (nephews?) announced they'd keep Legio Heroica alive, and I believe they took orders for a while. But when I actually wanted to buy some earlier this fall they'd put up the "temporarily closed" announcement.

Now the website is back up, still saying "ON-LINE SHOP IS TEMPORARILY CLOSED".

That's some hope at least. Did you email them asking what the issue is?

Maybe they don't have anyone to fulfill orders or maybe they have issues with their casting service.

It was truly heart breaking when the previous owner Giuseppe passed away, he was always the friendliest to deal with, and was a great loss to the hobby.

Hopefully a larger company will take on the ranges!

I was surprised to note that TMP served me an ad for Legio Heroica today. They've been "temporarily" closed for over a year now, so taking out ads doesn't make obvious sense – or dare one hope they're about to finally reopen?

Au pas de Charge27 Jul 2023 7:02 a.m. PST

I hope so. I have the most appalling list of figures I need from that company.

I'm not sure what the issue is. I dont think Legio did its own casting. Lack of enthusiasm, perhaps?

It turns out that despite the big red ON-LINE SHOP IS TEMPORARILY CLOSED on the webpage, they do take and fulfill email orders. I am now the happy owner of a few dozen of their Mongols.

@The Last Conformist:
That's terrific news! Did you contact them via the email address on the web site? I've tried that but haven't gotten a reply for some days, should I just exercise some patience here or is there some better way to contact them?

The Last Conformist04 Apr 2025 4:39 a.m. PST

Yes, I contacted them via that email. It took three days to get a reply.

Viking0115 May 2025 5:12 a.m. PST

I haven't gotten a response in seven weeks, don't know what you did that I didn't but I'm starting to think I won't get a response.

The Last Conformist15 May 2025 12:14 p.m. PST

That's concerning, yes. I don't know that I did anything in particular except mailing that address with my order.

Have you tried writing again, in case your first mail somehow got lost?

Viking0119 May 2025 9:09 a.m. PST

I did, and then also from another mail address which I used when I first ordered from them.

Could you do me (and maybe also LH) a favour, by reaching out to them and let them know there's at least one other customer trying to get in touch but not receiving a reply? Maybe they have very aggressive spam filter settings or something like that.

The Last Conformist20 May 2025 11:31 p.m. PST

I suppose I could. Could you give me a name, or mention what you ordered, to make my mail a bit less vague?

Viking0123 May 2025 1:50 a.m. PST

Thanks! I found you on the WGC/Triumph forum so I sent you a PM there.
