Cool that the goblins have a new home but any news on the Kobolds?

Not sure who has those I?m afraid. Maybe Badger?

Don't see this mentioned here and it's certainly important enough to be worth posting about.  Announcement over here:

https://www.thewargameswebsite.com/news-from-badger-games-30/

I guess with postage and tariffs now the US is getting Otherworld at a lower price while the UK suffers?  That feels pretty backward somehow.
Not sure Rich - some probably are but it's all a bit confusing as to who's got what pieces of the Otherworld sculpts; some are staying in the UK, I think.

Reciprocal tariffs from Canada have now killed any idea of ordering from the US.

I made an order this past week for some non-hobby stuff, checked the CBSA website to make sure I wouldn?t get hit ? and I got a 25% hit anyway.

No more US orders, for anything. Period.

That?s a drag about getting hit with the import charge.

Regarding Otherworld figures it?s a shame that the lines got split up, as it?s harder to find specific products. I?m grateful that a lot of them seem to have found buyers for these lines, though. I?ve only seen a few in person, but they were exquisite sculpts.

Delighted to say that Crooked Dice have acquired over 100 pieces too - adding to a similar number previously bought from Richard.

Obviously the buzz on here is getting the new owners all motivated?

On instagram with the kobolds?

I wonder what it's doing for the mood of the former owner?

He stopped due to retirement, right? Not because they weren't popular?

Yes, he retired. However, I assume he'd have been happy to have satisfied more of the unfulfilled demand before he sold the ranges on though ;)

IIRC He announced that he was retiring 4-5 months before closing things down - I heard aroubd Christmas and it was summer time when the sales ended.

Per the Hobby News section on TMP:

Quote from: Badger Games
We have Orcs, Goblins, Hobgoblins, Kobolds and more on the site right now with a lot to follow …

FYI, they're talking about the 2nd generation Paul Muller Kobolds.
