It appears that Steve Jackson Games is discontinuing their miniatures
lines...including Ogre. And it looks as though the "Uplift" minis,
including that really nice dolphin in an exo-suit, are never going to be

released at all.

Well, I've a pile of Hot Lead that reminds me 'We have all been here
before...'

At least, maybe my friends at Armorcast will get a chance to do the Macrotures
again. Not that I'm certain they're not burnt out on the whole subject.

Sorry about the dolphin thing, tho'.

Dang it. Being out of my prime career for over two years, recently
experiencing lots of life changes (read this as unfortunate and unexpected
expenses), and now having to face getting the OGRE minis I should to finish
out the forces I have...dang! Well I'd better hope the house sells soon so I
can afford to purchase these buggers.:)

Never was interested in them myself but it always is disappointing when
someone decides they can't make miniatures anymore because _Somebody_
must have wanted them when they started.  Guess if I ever  _do_  want an
OGRE sized Vehicle for DS 2 I'll need to visit a hobby shop for a plastic
model.

At least they are staying in business if not in Miniatures...

And maybe someone will take them up on the licensing offer.

Hopefully all who want them will get their needs met before they are all gone.

Not everybody is Reviresco/Starguard in their longevity.

Fantasy and Science Fiction. But if you have the figures (5 mm through 54 mm,)
the terrain and the rules... Fight's on!"
