Hi guys.
I was just browsing through the shop and I saw that loads of products say "back in stock in January" or "Discontinued" where the image should have been. What's the deal with all this stuff ebob?

The old Fantasy mould has been discontinued. But I have to say, if I had a pound for every person that has emailed me saying 'I was gonna buy that (but didn't)' maybe they'd still be available  Gotta move on I'm afraid - old stuff is old - and new stuff is new - or something. |

I am just someone, who has noticed this too late. You say Gotta move on I'm afraid - old stuff is old - and new stuff is new - or something. But I really like the dead pack 2 and the griffins!! And now I can never get them anymore!! ( I already checked other websites, but unfortanly they were also gone there..). Is there no way you can get them back?? Can't you 'buy' the rights or something?? So that you can make more LotR miniatures?? Maybe we can make a "action", to donate a little bit of money (1 pound per person perhaps), so that you can continue?? They are your work, and you have them, but I think that there are alot of people who are "angry", and dissapointed, 'cause they can't get them anymore...  S. |

The only problem with trying to buy the rights so he can produce his models would be far more costly for him than he would probably make. I know his stuff is really good, but I don't think it makes enough money to justify trying to pay for the rights...... besides, his new stuff is much better anyway. I still have to order my tribsmen though but I'm currently ODed with models awaiting painting......

Yes ok, but that doesnt take away that I now never get those miniatures.. but just as I say, perhaps we can hook up alot of people, willing to pay 1 or 2 pound more, so that ebob can save for the rights. And then perhaps he can make more lotr models... but, if ebob doesnt want it, then i can't change it... If only new line had waited a few months.. then I would have had those mini's  |

Mate, although your heart is in the right place, there is a problem.
You are talking about Ebob fighting New Line for those rights.... it would cost thousands, if not hundreds of thousands to win or even battle for it.
Not worth Ebob suffering a possible bankrupcy over those models. Thats my two bob.

Aaawhh... ok, Sorry, I didn't know it would cost that much Well, there is nothing to do about it. There is just 1 solution.... ... buying Ebob's Tribe mini's, and hoping there is someone selling those old ones on Ebay  Atleast now I have a "full-filled" feeling, knowing that there cant be done anything about it.. thanks anyway  S. (I'll think I maybe register here... is there any daily activity on these forums??) |
