Didn't see a thread about it and though that maybe it was news worthy.

A real shame as they made some great stuff...

JR Miniatures is Closed

Thank you for all of your support!!

Twenty three years ago I began JR Miniatures in my basement and since that time the company has expanded not only into a "real" company that operates in a commercial space but has also expanded beyond the borders of the U.S.

My wife Nancy and I have thoroughly enjoyed getting to know so many people in the gaming industry and creating products that have enhanced so many terrain layouts. After a brief illness last year, Nancy has been "gently" suggesting that maybe it is time for us to focus on family and to pursue new opportunities.

After much thought and consideration we have decided to not renew our lease which expires October 31st.

We realize that this will take many of you by surprise but we are ready for something new and Nancy is excited about pursuing opportunities that she has wanted to do for awhile and I am looking forward to doing contract design work.

October 7, 2012 is the last day that retail orders via our web-site will be accepted and we are no longer accepting wholesale orders.

We are talking with a few potential buyers and so JR Miniatures will most likely continue with a different owner. Anyone interested in purchasing the design rights (includes masters and tools) please contact me via my email at robert@jrminiatures.net

Thank you so much for all of the support and friendship over the years and we have enjoyed working with so many of you.

Robert and Nancy Rumfelt

So the potential there for their products to live on with a different owner. Hopefully someone will see sense and snap them up!
