Is this a prelude to them all moving to the US?

Hello All

Its been a number years since Lord S and Darren at Gripping Beast took over the reins of running Musketeer Miniatures, and in that time we have seen many changes both for myself personally, and for Gripping Beast. I now find myself in the position of being able to take over the day-to-day running of Musketeer once more, and enable Gripping Beast to concentrate their efforts on their many new projects which are keeping them very busy. I'd like to send Lord S, Darren, Roger and Martin my immense gratitude and thanks for helping to keep the Musketeer ranges alive and kicking during this time, and making my move to the US possible. I couldn't have done it without them all so thank you guys.

Musketeer will be opening up in the US as soon as the logistics of transporting molds have been dealt with. The ranges currently available will be released one at a time as production molding takes place over time. I plan to continue production in the UK and this is being worked on at the moment too. Due to the logistics of this part of the reorganization, there may be a period when Musketeer ranges won't be available, but we hope to keep this time as short as possible depending on circumstances. Until then all Musketeer ranges will be still available from Gripping Beast until Sept 30th 2014.

This will be a large reorganizing and we'll announce more when there are firmer details available. We would like to thank our many customers for their patience during this time.

All the best

I will see the guy who's going to be doing the UK side later (I think) so I will ask him, assuming he knows :)

Site has been taken down while everything is reorganised and company info, contact details etc have been updated. They were organising moulds and machinery today so possibly not too long before the UK side is back up and running, I suspect the U.S. side will take longer.

Hope its not long and I can still access stuff from the UK here in Aus- for some reason postage from the US is a killer compared to the uk
Love thier models and I just started out on a Late Roman/ Arthurian project.

Some of the figures are up at http://footsoreminis.com though US prices only so far.

Note sure if they will have a UK web site or not  ???
