He has replied to all other mentions of manufactures apart from this one

And Ian was the winner, right in there with the correct guess almost straightaway!

We are excited to announce that we've recently purchased the rights to all of the TB Line 10mm ranges, previously owned by Aster Wargame in Italy.  All of the moulds were shipped to Pendraken HQ this past week and we'll start checking them over soon.  We'd like to thank Corrado at Aster Wargame for offering us the opportunity to buy these ranges and for all of his time during the purchase process.

Congratulations on the purchase!
I notice a whole new set of proxies I can use for Berbers at Tangier!

Realize you have to check things out but any estimate on when you might be spinning up figures?

OK - never mind - I just saw your detailed announcement thread!
Encumbered by Idjits, we pressed on

Not that I know of, unless you've been moonlighting for someone else in 10mm...
They're probably not but I'm curious as to what you think they might be?! 

You already know the only firm I 'moonlight'  for in 10mm *....and that's once in a blue moon.  ;D ;D ;D
I'll 'mail you a to as to who I was worried it might be.

Some interesting guesses so far...  ;)

About 10 master and 74 production, I've not gone through all of them yet though.

They're probably not but I'm curious as to what you think they might be?!  It's not the old GW Warmaster ranges, I can confirm that!

I'd love to see you pick up the GW Warmaster range so we wouldn't be forced to pay the ridiculous prices being asked for them.

I think if they ever came up for sale we'd certainly be interested but a) I doubt GW would ever sell them, and b) they'd want a ridiculous price for them.

Yeah, it'd be very expensive.  Makes you wonder why they just let them sit there unused wen there is still such a demand for them.

They've almost certainly cut them up into tiny pieces of rubber for re-cycling.
They won't exist anymore.

Which reminds me, could she at least take the bricks back with her?  I'm getting quite a pile.
