Post by: tomrommel1 on 13 January 2015, 08:48:44 AM
Hi everybody
I got a castle bei tabletop workshop for x max from my wonderful wife. Now I wanted to order some more building from them but there homepage times out since the 8th january. I contacted them through Facebook but no reply either!
Do they still trade ? Has anyone reached then recently?

Most likely just doing some updates or some thing. Try out their facebook page.

Some of the buildings are currently available from Northstar with  large discounts see page 2 and 3. http://www.northstarfigures.com/list.php?spo=1&page=1 (http://www.northstarfigures.com/list.php?spo=1&page=1)

Hmm, that's bad craic. Quite fancied one of their chapels. Should've struck while the iron was hot...

Hopefully it's just IT problems or some such gremlins, and they'll resurface soon, but I don't hold out much hope... :'(

Tabletop no longer seem to be listed by North Star. Doesn't look good.

Me neither.
I can see they may have had IT problems on their own website - although a failure to get back up and running in 7 weeks would be a pretty serious IT outage...
But that doesn't explain the fact they've disappeared from Facebook too.
I sincerely hope nothing bad has befallen the people involved, and that they've just run into production or financing issues.
Although the sudden total radio silence from an outfit that was previously communicating profusely, has a worrying Marie Celeste feel to it...  :(

Dammit, I hope this is not a permanent hiatus.  :(  I was happy to support the castle pre-order scheme but I was wanting the  opportunity to expand the set with additional parts. Back to pipe-dreams of scratch building castles it is then...

Interestingly, a quick check of Companies House doesn't return owt for "Tabletop Workshop", but their parent company, Enigma Design still appeared to be solvent. I wonder what's went wrong, since the scenery arm appeared to be working well for them (I assume), I don't know what has caused them to pull the plug on it...

Yes, it's the whole Bermuda Trinagle scenario that's odd.
You'd think, if they were having (or had) some kind of terminal difficulty, they would at least have posted something to their website, Facebook, and the forums to that effect. Rather than just vanishing off the radar...
All a bit peculiar  :?

So probably it will re-appear soon?

If that is true it would be much appreciated

It would be good if they do reappear as the product was very nice indeed.

Hope so. I picked up the small castle on the pre-order and it look to be a good one. Still in the box of course  :D

Think I found a source of at least the basic castle set can be mistaken though: http://wargameterrain.blogspot.be/2015/03/wayland-games-still-stocking-tabletop.html (http://wargameterrain.blogspot.be/2015/03/wayland-games-still-stocking-tabletop.html)

Damn! I want the towers! Thought they'd be great for a lighthouse :/

still nothing. Would have been nice of them to at least let us know they are no longer in business!

The lack of any communication from this "silent partner" isn't going to endear them to their potential customers, who have already invested in the product....

Any news on that matters? Do the Castle set(s) are available somewhere? :?

I blame the Bermuda Triangle...

It's more mysterious than the Marie Celeste.

Someone must know something, but no-one is saying anything...  ::)

Agreed... but I did prefer the round style towers of the first offering... :?

The Warlords one look like it could be the one available previously from Tabletop...

Still, 305$ USD seem a little steep, no?  :?

Post by: tomrommel1 on 11 April 2016, 09:56:08 AM
That is the one indeed . So it found a new home then . Hope they will bring out the towers and walls as singles too.
Indeed the price is well :(

I'll lock this as there's a perfectly good discussion on it over here...
