Colony 87 round two?

[Cultist of Sooty]

I'm in.

[Hoser]

When do you think these will be available for regular retail? I want them badly, but no longer do Kickstarter.

[axiom]

The production for the KS backers will run through until June. After that, I'm not sure - I'm still debating whether or not I want to go down the retail route. I suspect *if* they do go up for regular retail, it won't be until late 2016 or early 2017.

[Hoser]

Are these available for sale yet?

[mcfonz]

Wot he said. And the original batch too.

[Earther]

Wot he said, about wot he said.

Are these available for sale yet?

I spent a long time debating this point. I've come to the conclusion that I don't want to start up a miniatures company. I want to occasionally make models I want in my collection, and as part of that process, sell some to other people who might like them

I do plan a 3rd and probably final set of 6 figures for 2017, to be released by Kickstarter. I do have sets of both Wave 1 and Wave 2 available currently that people can buy directly from me.

But I'm not going to set up a website, and probably, post the 2017 Kickstarter, I will retire the range.

I hope that answers your questions?

[zemjw]

Have you considered selling the masters to someone like CP models?

They seem quite happy to sell various ranges, and I think they would sell well (especially with the new Osprey SF rules coming out at some point).

Happy to say that I backed both Kickstarters and will almost certainly be in for next year's as well, as they are really nice figures

[Belgian]

Would be shame to see this range becoming oop, you might want to contact some companies to sell the masters or at least sell a license to them. That way these excellent sculpts will remain available as they are quite unique on the market and you don't have the hassle of retailling these. Maybe Lead Adventure Miniatures would be a good owner.

[axiom]

Thanks for the feedback. I've certainly thought about selling the range, but no firm decisions for now

[FramFramson]

Well, for what it's worth, they would fit quite well with LAF's new KS-funded line of sci-fi civvies.
