I don't need to call them, I haven't ordered anything.

I don't care. I didn't order anything either.

Awaiting official word but looks like they're done. Folks at Pinewood were let go this week.

Yup that's the boat I'm in. I'm more than confident I'll at least get my refund (thank god for credit card policies as an extra level of backup lol)

I wonder how many of each replica were made. Could be some of the rarer items out there now...
Part of me wishes I'd grabbed the melted Vader, but some QA issues and the price were enough to delay my decision. Wonder if they're really totally finished, or if there's some sort of restructuring in the works. Guess we'll see.
In hindsight, having a UK based company make props to sell exclusively to USA buyers, sent to them in enormous wooden boxes, maybe wasn't the best decision.

Hard to believe a company that charges as much for the box as a nice prop went under. Where did they go wrong???????
Honestly I was surprised anyone bought anything from them given the cost and question of the quality, durability, etc..
The box was insane, expensive. The ones who bought the props even said the stands were not great. No custom cut nice foam but hard Styrofoam and insane price on a prop they are not sure will last forever.
I am glad those who purchased are happy with them but this company tanking was a foregone conclusion.

That didn't last long at all
Especially after all that time and money that went into the PR and advertisements for these pieces. Guaranteed all the leftovers are in executive's hands and some of the now ex-employees

I think they seriously overestimated their position.
Pre-TPS, saber prices were 369. No way the market bears the jump to 1500. Not unless they cycled 1000 of through the actors hands during filming and they're selling them as 'potentially' screen used, but definitely actor used....
The box was cool, but not THAT cool
