A friend of mine just texted me that Irregular is closing.
I don't see anything on their site. Anyone know if this is true or false. Thanks.

I'd be very surprised. No hint of it when I place my most recent order. The web site says "I am getting married at the end of this month (26th) which has caused a bit of a backlog." It's a family business, and not a large one, so the price you pay for friendly personal service is that they're vulnerable to disruptions caused by illness or family activities.

Can you ask your friend where he heard this?

Eureka Miniatures (Aus) are ceasing to be the Australian distributer,

Tally Ho!

Heard back from my friend. He said it was a historicon posting on Facebook. Hope it is not true.

"a Historicon posting on Facebook." So we still don't know who said it or what evidence they had? At that point, I'd say at least try to get independent verification from a ouija board or a magic 8-ball.

Has anyone asked Irregular?

That's crazy talk.

Okay, irregular is not closing. It is their operation in Australia. All good.

Also, it was a Sunday, so asking Irregular was not an option.

Long live Irregular Miniatures! A great company.

I reached out to Ian at a regular Miniatures. He said they are definitely not closing. His son is taking over the business but Ian is still going to be a part of the business.

Companies must find these sort of speculative posts very bad for the blood pressure and potentially bad for business.

Unless you are in Australia…..

Old Man Kay is at least 90 and was looking fine at the York Show.

Nic had posted on FB that Eureka Miniatures will no longer be producing Irregular in Australia.

.They have posted on their web page that they have suspended their 6mm range and their 10mm ECW/TYW h figures due to ill health and moulds that need replacing.
