Missed you at the "Bengal Club Christmas" party!...lol! Merry Christmas! I guess the drive home would be a bit far…

You are right there is no way "to be sure" of a company or anything being around in a year but I spoke more of a likelihood based on their operations for over 10 years. The earth might be hit by a comet in which case I'm pretty sure I won’t be painting anyway! I have NEVER been a fan of games workshop as they retire lines to be able to sell new lines. Foundry’s policy is more of a rotation based on several factors, popularity, age of molds, and the fact that their lines are so extensive that they cannot produce all of them at the same time. Yes they do have some policies that drive us crazy but they still have some great product lines! I have been wanting to buy one of the complete sets in their “old West” line but one of the subsets in it is “zombie gunfighters” when I asked if I could substitute a historical set for figures I would never use I got a flat “ “no!” needless to say I have yet to order that set!

Merry Christmas to all!  Bill W

Exactly my point too (at last found someone who hates zombie games just as much as I do...).  As far as the X-mas party is concerned, you've got a point there.  As it happens, the incoming message on my pc just prior to this one was a TBC one on the X-mas pics.  I've already commented on that on the private TBC Yahoo group.

Still, a merry X-mas & a happy 2011 to all of you,
