Oscilioth Posted August 9, 2012 Report Share Posted August 9, 2012 Looking at a list of Wyrd Miniatures here on the internet and this distributor has many models marked down as discontinued... Are these models being moved to plastic? Or something else...? http://www.e-figures.com/store/WyrdOrder.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgraz Posted August 9, 2012 Report Share Posted August 9, 2012 Maybe that distributor is no longer stocking them.....they're still available in the Wyrd store. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alviaran Posted August 9, 2012 Report Share Posted August 9, 2012 Are they redoing their line into plastic? Could be that those models are discontinued in metal and don't have their plastic versions available for order yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
decker_cky Posted August 9, 2012 Report Share Posted August 9, 2012 Looks to me like that's all the models that are included in starter boxes. They probably didn't sell enough (since people would instead buy the starter) so the distributor stopped stocking them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oscilioth Posted August 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2012 It says on the home page it has been changed as per the manufacturer, but the wording is a little ambiguous. I can't imagine a wholesaler would just stop stocking parts of a range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordZombie Posted August 9, 2012 Report Share Posted August 9, 2012 I would agree with Decker Cky. Just looks like models that are part of a starter set. Maybe wyrd will stop selling them as singles on their own, but I can't see just those models being made into plastic. Would anyone really buy a plastic Lady Justice when they already have the metal?

WookieeGunner Posted August 9, 2012 Report Share Posted August 9, 2012 Are they all models with Alts? Maybe they are looking at using the original sculpt in the starter box and the alt in the blister? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omenbringer Posted August 9, 2012 Report Share Posted August 9, 2012 Would it even be worth making a master mold for a model that will be fielded singly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathan Caroland Posted August 9, 2012 Report Share Posted August 9, 2012 Nothing nefariousness or deep with this. Unique miniatures that are in box sets are being discontinued from sale in clamshells is all. Lets us save a bit of shelf space as the product is outgrowing the warehouse.

Mako Posted August 9, 2012 Report Share Posted August 9, 2012 You guys have outgrown another warehouse already? You really need one with walls that slide outward every so often... It's a bit of a shame, since it means anyone wanting something like the Judge now has to get a death Marshall box set (I actually bought alt Lady J, judge and death marshals separately since I wanted the alt sculpt). But it's not like you can endlessly keep everything stocked up individually and in sets I guess, when you're growing fairly fast! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrouchingMoose Posted August 9, 2012 Report Share Posted August 9, 2012 You guys have outgrown another warehouse already? You really need one with walls that slide outward every so often... You mean they need a warehouse with a non-euclidean otherspace inside, so they can save on property tax That being said, im allready going over all the masters i dont have and seeing if i should pick up the uniques from their box or if the box set would be better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it all models, or only the majority? The E-figures site doesn't have some models from box sets as discontinued, like the cerberus, the gunsmiths and death marshalls.
