    Sad to see this news. I’ve seen too much of your stuff on EBay from Russia. Disgraceful.

    I’m really struggling with a decision to start up in this business again.

    Best of luck for whatever you decide.

    Many thanks for your wishes.

    Stormtroopers lives on and will continue but alot of the range has been discontinued and hopefully sold.

    New releases are coming soon but will be sold in a more limited fashion.

    Due to the vast array of products available mine included it has become a dwindling market. This makes keeping products alive and instock difficult. Its not my profession its my hobby so i need to prioritise my time.

    Troop54 will be no different. Some products in that range will also be withdrawn. Its purely a demand equation.

    I love this hobby and i love producing miniatures but that has to be balanced with demand and the WHY equation. This has changed so to keep doing what i do i will change too.

    Thanks again

    Sad news. I have some great busts from Stu, also a great service. Stormtroopers, Grenadier and even one Black Sheep bust.

    The post made me bought two more busts from Chuck at RedLancers.

    All the best to you, Stu

    Hi Stu,

    What is the name of the new website? Is it all under the Troop 54 umbrella now?

    Cheers

    Harsh reality is that selling products is all about supply and demand and everything changes at some point or it comes to an end.

    Stu, I agree with everything you have said.
    I realised recently there were 74 products in the Elan13 range. Some are selling and some are not. Remoulding costs won't be covered by projected sales for some of them, so I also have begun a slow cull.
