The 25mm Star Wars figures have actually been cancelled for several
months
now. They were planning to redo them in a 30mm type size. Apparently
this
was because the true 25mm size was considered to be "old fashioned". I
know
they stopped distribution of these figures outside the US about a year
ago
because they had lost the foreign rights for them.
I am unaware of WEGs demise but I know product has slowed down a lot in
the
last four months. (Until three weeks ago I was President of their
largest
distributor in Australia) So, if you want to use Star Wars figures for
Stargrunt grab them quickly, particularly the Stormtroopers. They have
always been the hardest to get a reliable supply of.
