Reply To: Dark Realm and Exodus Wars – what's up with these ranges?

Seems to be reasonably functional, albeit without photos.

Worth contacting them to be sure what’s going on with their products at the moment.

I am mistaken about Vanguard – it’s the Defeat in Detail line they took over, not Exodus Wars.  Although Dan seems to be correct that HLS is stocking and selectively re-casting the old Steel Crown stuff.  Again, contacting them would be your best bet.

The Exodus Wars line and its precipitous collapse is something of a mystery to me – I remember seeing a long letter the lead guy sent out a year or two back in which he melodramatically and lugubriously fell on his sword over the whole thing, but I never quite understood what went wrong.  I gather that it was largely growing pains – he hit that middle ground where his properties were popular enough to be in high demand and turn a profit, but not enough of a profit to allow him to hire the staff he needed to handle all his customers’ orders, and so the fulfillment end kind of collapsed.  It happens – but he seems to have been making reasonable deals to let other people handle the properties instead so at least it’s not going totally dead.  They’re attractive figures and no mistake, but businesses of that size are hard to manage and I think he just didn’t expand in a measured way, and that was it.
