This subject is a bit harsh! We don't know the reasons for the cancellation of the line - I suspect we never will.
Yes I'm not happy about it, but we should see some refunds so that's better than nothing (such as Jessops, HMV, Woolworths, Blockbuster to name a few) AND the reprints are still being done for those who have ordered them.
I don't know about the rest of their lines, but the LW line has suffered quite a lot with several issues.
Anyway, this thread and forums will be closed soon. There is one positive from the whole "Mongoose Experiment" and that is that LW is alive again - such as the maps, the multiplayer books and the new solo gamebooks when they are released. Did we ever think of that happening back in 2000?
