Front Rank now Gripping Beast?
« on: November 23, 2021, 07:56:34 PM »
Went over to the Frontrank website for the first time in what seems like ages and it appears they've been sold off to Gripping Beast

https://www.grippingbeast.co.uk/Special_Announcement_UPDATE--post--103.html

Anyone know how things are going, I know lawyers work to their own timescale but I'm keen to know whther I should hold out for some of these or look elsewhere

I contacted Gripping Beast on the weekend (as I too have a sizeable order to place for Front Rank figures) and was told yesterday that the lawyers set a date for the change of hands and are way off by weeks even though they were the ones who told both parties when the change would happen. They said to hang tight and be patient. Wish I had better news.

Being on time reduces the total number of billing hours and interferes mightily with making partner one day.  So none of that 'on time' nonsense for the legal bagels (beagles are too nice to associate).   :D
