I use a lot of their products in my hobby in building models painting but often a ton of their products are not avaliable. The most guilty are their terrain sets. Their forests are always never in stock. Their river set usually only sometimes. Their mode pinning set with the big wooden ball handle is not avaliable.

Now they are launching their own Star Trek mini game. Can these guys be trusted to become a real game company, keep stuff in stock, and not abandon their products?

They seem to make really good stuff but don't have it together in terms of their supply chain. They are in New Zeeland if I'm not mistaken.

GF9 was based i Virgina. After they were bought by Battlefront they moved the company and manufacturing down to Malaysia where Battlefront does their models. Sadly, a couple of things happened around the time of the move:

-The laser cutter for doing platics was broken. So we haven't had their little templates available for a bit. I think the plan is to wait until they have a game or line of items that make it feasible to buy another.
-Their tool maker upped prices or something made it not worth doing business with them. John told me they had another supplier to make their tools and hopefully we see them soon.
-Scenery comes and goes. I get a lot of it in. Rivers just got restocked, i think forests next and then another round of sci-fi ruins.

They've really been putting out some good games though. Firefly especially.

Small pine woods are back in stock??

I love their terrain. I've got a stack of rivers and trees. Wish they'd do those rocky outcrops again. I have the second version and really want the first. Great terrain.

I have been looking for GF9's D&D spell cards for a long time. These look to be less than a year old.

Despite having an order on their own site (listed as in-stock), a pallet-load arrived after I ordered, and a month later reported that there would be another shipment 2 months later. I had no notification of them in the 2 months I had the order with them.
So, their stock on lesser items looks to be barely there.

Big products might be well supported, but accessories, not as much.

So when will WWE Superstar Showdown be available? Still third quarter of 2015? Regretting not getting a copy at Gencon.

Meant to tell you the guy at the booth said by the end of 2015 for the base game and there's a Divas expansion and another one at the printers now also aimed at end of 2015.

Sweet.

Wonder which Divas will be included? Current or some of the older ones?
