Maybe he could make some stuff available by subscription, so we aren't scrambling for a handful of figures that may or may not be available.  I too did not get an email and missed out due to time zone differences.

That's how they were originaly available, so I don't see that happening.
So many projects..... so little time.......

Somewhat displeased here. I sent an email before they were re-issued stating that I'd buy the Somali and German ranges at the same time if I could get a hold of two of the limited figures :(

Oh well, hopefully they'll show up on eBay at inflated prices.

Well, being a businessman, hopefully Mr. Copplestone will ride the limited release wave until we are all satisfied :D

Just got mine pushed through the letter box. I was expecting some packages but had forgotten about this one, bonus :)

Edit: If you recieve a package after forgetting you ordered/paid for it, does that make it free?

The limited editions are now no longer listed on the site. Doesn't look like there's going to be a restock any time soon.

Damn!  :'(   

I know that a few of you mailed Mark asking if he would be restocking these lines, did anyone get a reply to the question?

Considering how well they sold, and how many people missed the boat on some or all of the miniatures, I would think it would be worth his while to put them back on sale at some point (assuming he still has the moulds).

Excluding the Foundry limited editions, does anyone know if these were the only limited editions he done for DA or were there more?

Yeah, saw that yesterday. Pity really. I managed to get all of them except the Watuta, although I did get it for a friend. Imposing fella. Good size!

Can't understand these business strategies... Or the lack of...  :? Mark is also silent about the return to DA.

I don't think it is a business strategy as such. He simply found some old castings he'd forgotten about and so put them up for sale on his site.

Seems all the talk about casting up new ones was a little premature. Maybe it will happen. We'll have to wait and see.

When I was e-mailing Mr Copplestone.  He said they figures that were available were old packs he found.  He then stated he had bought a casting machine, and would possibly revisit Darkest Africa.  I wouldn't hold my breath though.  He seems to be fired up about his 15mm fantasy range, who knows.  So no business strategy behind Copplestone Castings, just me e-mailing him at the right place right time.   I am by no means an insight or personal friend of Mr. Copplestone, just a normal customer like most of you.  So I hope that clears things up a bit.

Well, it only makes Mark and his endeavour more endearing to me! :) Got enough business strategies at work that never seem to work! :)

PS: But this Fantasy 15mm rubbish (by the Gods the minis are beautiful though!) has to stop! :) He needs to do some RCW and DA stuff again! :)
