Badger 3D Gone

[Iain R]

It appears Badger 3D have suddenly imploded. Ceased trading with immediate effect, no reason given.

Bit of a bolt from the blue... their FB page constantly gave the impression they were going from strength to strength; printers running constantly, new sculptors taken on, new releases weekly. I know they had updated that they'd be concentrating on figures for a while over vehicles, but this seems quite unexpected.

I was going to grab a Fox and a couple of Ferrets from them, and hoping they would do a Chieftain Stillbrew at some point, as I was very impressed with some CVR(T)s I got from them last year.

It is a shame if the situation is permanent. Their newer prints were a huge improvement over the earliest models they put out, pretty much on a par with any of the inhouse branded prints and a lot better than some.

[Iain R]

Definitely. I am genuinely not one for 3d prints, but even I thought they were pretty sharp.

I fear they might have over-expanded too quickly for their own good, which is a shame. Purely speculation on my part.

Explains why my order from Mid June never showed up. Heigh ho.

This is very bad news. I had a large order awaiting delivery.

[Painterz]

Yeah, big shame. I liked them, had a few things from them, very good. Quick service. Sad to see them go.

Curious to know what caused the 'sudden' collapse. Usually financial woes aren't sudden, there are signs well ahead of the event. They were still accepting orders until they suddenly weren't, including mine. No responses from the owners and I'm highly suspicious about the appointment of an administrator.

Hopefully the bank will be able to help getting my dosh back but I'm not confident. Sizeable chunk of gaming budget pissed up against the wall there.

By the time there’s an administrator, the only people who are getting paid are SECURED creditors. That’s … sadly … not you. I think you’re out of luck, amigo.

If you paid by credit card of paypal you probably have more options, but was it bank transfer? If so that's bad news I'm afraid.
