neandertal question, lucid eye vs acheson creations.

Crap! All out of stock! What happened? Gone for good? Damn, why did I wait?! 

[Timbor]

I would say the status is unknown.  I sent Northstar an email today to see if they will tell me what their plans are for the figures, I will post any response here.

Don't know about Acheson, but I made this comparison pic:

The Lucid Eye range also got cancelled from the North Star Facebook page...... Hmmm.

Crap! All out of stock! What happened? Gone for good? Damn, why did I wait?! 

My thoughts exactly!

there is a lucid eye FB-page aswell..
and thank you for that piccie.

Looking at the FB page, this was posted on Aug 8:

Ummagumma. There'll be a short hiatus in the supply of psychedelic stone age lads to all you furry freaks with your heads in the Pleistocene epoch whilst we, (royal 'we'), find someone halfway interested in the mystical arts of actually selling them. Meanwhile, look at this ace paintjob by a man who has a bike with bells and a basket and rings and things to make it look good.

Also, I think I managed to make a 'page' all about Lucid Eye. And stuff.

Perhaps Northstar just don't want to sell them anymore?

[Sir Barnaby Hammond-Rye]

I thought that is what they did - sell stuff? I just bought a copy of the Crusader Fantasy rules of them, so I guess they do. Sell stuff, I mean. At least part time.

Ok, so here is the response I got from Northstar:

Dear Tim
They have been discontinued.
Regards
Christine

So Northstar is no longer carrying the range

I sent a message to Lucid Eye on Facebook:

Hi Tim, thanks for the comments and interest! Short hiatus, til I get another distributor so stocks are a bit up and down atm. Arcane Scenery has some of what you may be looking for, and, if I were at all able, I'd put a hyperlink right here for you * - - - *.

Finally, I was able to pick up a few packs, but not all, from arcane scenery and models.  I sent them an email regarding obtaining the rest of the figures I am missing:

Hi Tim, thanks for your message. Yes, North Star have stopped carrying this range. I'll check with Lucid eye today regarding their position on stock. They may have some of pack two left. They are in the process of moving production but this shouldn't take too long. I'll confirm later regarding pack 2.

Regards, Steve

So, hopefully that clears up a few things.  Luckily for me, arcane scenery offers shipping promos, so it was better to get it from them anyway.  Lets hope these hairy dudes are around for a long time yet!

[Sir Barnaby Hammond-Rye]

So "Lucid Eye" is an independant company?

[Timbor]

So it would seem.  It would also seem that Arcane Scenery and Models is the place to go to get some (once they get a restock).

But nobody knows how big the Acheson cavemen are?

[Col.Stone]

doesn't seem so.. maybe i should just buy a set. but customs ouch looms B)

[Timbor]

TBH, the Copplestone ones look better than the Acheson ones to me, and in the comparison pic above they seem to match well to Lucid Eye. 

[Col.Stone]

They're not very neanderthal tho, i plan on using some of them for my cro magnons ☺
