Thank you to the various list members for pointing this out. I sort 
of asked the question off the cuff, and later considered this issue. 
I'm duly chastened. Consider it a hypothetical question. 

Nic tells me we might see some figs from the Italian company that 
bought Grenadier soon. If so, maybe the line I want to see produced 
will be re-issued. If not, maybe I can secure permission from them 
(Okay, this ones a long shot) to re-cast some for personal use. 
Otherwise, I guess if I made castings and figs for myself I'd be in 
violation of the copyRIGHT (yes we in Canada know how to spell Right, 
just like Night.... ooooh cheap shot.....a thousand pardons....sorry 
couldn't resist....) . 

It's good to know that some people actually believe in intellectual 
property rights. :)

Tom.
