Keep an eye on the store today, guys. I've been talking with one of them via email and they are getting some stock back from one of their distributors today. Or send them an email, I guess, but I'd rather you didn't all bury them. :p

When it is time for a decision is is right to make it. Sad for the customers, but very understandable. I hope the range stays in europe. Good luck to the Pig Iron Crew and maybe someday you will come back.

Just remembered that I needed some Pig Iron heads to turn my Reaper Nova Corp troopers into Cobra Vipers. Luckily they were one of few remaining in-stock head sprues.

To the very end, Pig Iron comes through.  Thanks!

I had to interrupt reading this thread by placing a frantic order for bits. I feel slightly calmer now.

Good luck to the whole Pig Iron crew, and thank you for all the cool toys I say! My Cawdor gangers were all based on Pig Iron types.

Regards
Ragsta

Placed an order for torsos, heads and legs to have a 'stock' of rebels/militia/lo-tech for my sci-fi campaign ideas. So there is still some stuff available.

I wish them all the best for the future too. And hope there's an easy transition to another firm to keep us supplied. Even the 'rubble-sprues' impressed the gaiters off of me, clever designing.

Captain Blood, awesome brushwork, well done  :)

I bought the last "infected" set available... I would like to see them re-release at some point, maybe in hard plastic?  ;D

You did a beautiful job on their APC's!

Pig Iron Heavy Infantry were my first painted minis when I returned to the hobby after nearly a decade away. I hope they make it back to market some day soon!

Television is rather a frightening business. But I get all the relaxation I want from my collection of model soldiers. P. Cushing

I have two of their Ironclad hulls.
I turned them into proxy "not Leman Russ" when I still played 40k (building turrets to suit out of plasticard and bits) and adding sponsons to suit (attached by magnets).  Still have them, though I no longer play that game. the tanks themselves were too nice to give up.

It was just announced on their FB page that they are back, with new owners (and no, that's not a April Fool's joke, it would be too cruel).

Well Helen and I have got everything back home. This weekend we will be sorting out the website. Then the webstore will reopen next week. New stock is on it's way. Then it's time to start adding to the ranges. Alex

That is absolutely great news! Does make all those head sprues I snapped up feel more like unnecessary impulse buys though...  lol

Great way to get a huge amount of sales, though.
