Subject: [GZG] US Ban of Lead in Toys
Hi all. Was reading this on msnbc: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/26199580/ I'm curious how this affects the miniatures industry. I understand that for the most part, miniatures aren't using lead, but I thought I saw another article (that I don't have handy...) off of theminiaturespage that said one of the main companies was bringing back a lead alloy to try avoiding the high price of tin. (I think it was Reaper, but can't remember.) I figured if it takes off for them, other companies may switch to it. Any word from those that know more? Thanks.
