EW is basically dead. They don't carry any stock and don't produce more.
Yeap. It's been dead since about a week after HLS got it. I tried to order a couple of packs of the zombies. something I'd been kicking myself for not ordering from steelcrown for ages. I think my total order was like 4 packs of infantry. Their automatic postage charge was something insane like £17. €20 for postage for a few minis is an insane amount today, even after the hefty raises, let alone back then long before all the issues.
I contacted them via here and via email saying it was a joke and if they were willing to post at actual cost I'd still like to buy them (Hell, I would have paid over actual cost or done a minimum order or something) and they ignored my messages. They did come online here and say that they didn't get any emails from anyone so I contacted them again and again nothing.
Such a shame. They completely squandered that range. It was such a waste to the community. I really wish vanguard had gotten the range.
It is off-topic, but related to that i heard some surprising stories from two guys i met recently:
- One said that he ordered this year some of those marine look-alike infantry (i do not remember the name right now) from Exodus Wars on the HLS website and got them delivered. All dubious about it i confirmed that it was this year and asked for more information, and he told me that he think he saw some re-stocking in the website, and that he received an e-mail that HLS would be re-stocking on Exodus soon. Asked some extra things to be sure it was from HLS.
- The second said that he ordered some necron look-alike infantry (i do not remember the name right now) some years ago. Asked for a more precise date in case it was from when HLS was really active and he said three years ago.
The information seems trustworthy on the dates because one is a total newbie and the other more or less the same which would mean that it is still possible to order something from them ... but the other parts are too surprising for me to believe them, like HLS still having the necrons or the marines look-alike, which are the things that got sold out the fastest ...
Also it lasted way more than one week after picking Exodus. We ordered two times miniatures from Exodus from them, last time when the clearing of Defeat and Onslaught happened.
