Does anyone have any idea what is going on with Lurkio? I want to place a large order but their products are nowhere to be found.

Lurkio effectively runs with two 'owners': one, the original owner, appears to still have a say in how things are done; and another who runs the company on a day to day basis.

The current/most recent production owner took Lurkio on with the intention of moving the operation to Spain. Unfortunately things didn't quite work out and the Lurkio move to Spain was off.

As a result Lurkio figure sales are suspended, and I believe they are looking for a new co-owner to take on production of the ranges. Until then it looks like they will not be available.

Game accessories are still available on the website, but I believe illness is slowing processing orders down.

Apologies if I have got any of that wrong.

This was their message last summer
"Some Richard Baliszewski plan to take the range over to Spain has been rather stifled by Spanish tax and visa laws. The tax system just doesn't support a work from home cottage industry and is quite punitive. Doesn't seem a smart way to run and economy but so be it.
A shame as we had all hoped to have them cast on the EU. It is what it is. I will find a new home in due course. Anyone interested get in touch please.
So the good news for you all is we are going to have a summer sale to shrink the amount of stock. So you can order any of the range at just 30p a figure. That is all ranges including the amazing new TYW/ ECW range which will soon have cavalry and artillery added. It will be on a first-come-first-served basis and run until we are out of metal stock.
So your chance to stock up on some great figures at a bargain price. Don't miss out. It may be that Lurkio Figurines is not available for a while until I find a new home for it. Spread the news please. "
