We have had a lot of requests from customers wishing to buy our great Christmas Santas! So now you can! Including all your past favourites like, Scrooge, Traditional Santa, Bazooka Santa, Hold-up Santa and Orc Santa.


Do you call that a joke?


"Limited" up your ass! :x

I laughed until I cried  :lol:
Your response just sums it up Chris.

Now that I bought their Corto Maltese figure off E-bay I'm happy I never have to go near them again  :)

It is theft what they are charging. I buy mine from Malamute at a much more reasonable prive. :-)

They have som elovely, lovely stuff, though. I just got a couple of Ancient Greece packs (Minotour and Athenian character set) full of busts, urns and statues for a museum scene. And the new highway men are great looking.

Love their minis.........................but they seem very similar in their business attitude to a "Games Company That Shan't Be Named!" :(

Hey, I've got an unpainted one of those. It's a steal at only 7 Euros ...... :lol:  :lol:

You're quite right, though Prof. They do seem to be getting worse. Thank goodness for the Perrys, Messrs Copplestone & Murch and all the other quality 28mm producers.

Cheers,
Ian

What! Foundry coming up with another plan to deprive people of their hard-earned! And they´re selling off their stocks of the "limited" figures!

...

Who would have thought it.

Well, actually, I did, because they actually promised to do so when they established that "limited edition figures" sham.

Ol´ Petey pretty much summed it up.

*rolling the r like Kaiserrr Bill:*

"Foundrrrry!"
