is not a real big fan of pre-painted minis, and he positively despises randomly-packed "collectable" ones - so why is he writing this article?
As many fans have probably heard, Mongoose Games' license to produce Babylon 5 products expires on June 30th and will not be renewed.
Since IWM's Babylon 5 miniatures license is through Mongoose, this means that our license expires on June 30th as well...
We considered looking into a license of our own but, for a variety of reasons, that will not be feasible.
Therefore, at end of business on Tuesday, June 30th, Iron Wind Metals will have to cease production of Babylon 5 miniatures, both A Call to Arms and Fleet scale.
Per the terms of our agreement, we will honor all orders placed before July 1st in full.
After July 1st, we can continue to take orders until we deplete our remaining stock, or until the end of the year, whichever comes first.
This means that after July 1st, the quantities on the website will be reduced to what we have remaining in stock on all items. When that remaining stock is exhausted on any item, the website will read zero and will drop the item from inventory.
Anything remaining at the end of the year will be removed from the site and melted.
Remaining inventories after July 1st will vary from item to item, and will be further depleted by convention sales. Therefore, if you want to get Babylon 5 miniatures from us, get them while they are here.
