Spring Cleaning the eBay Way!

As part of Mongoose's current restructuring, we are taking advantage of doing a little spring-cleaning around the office, emptying drawers and cupboards that are overflowing with all sorts of interesting bits and bobs. Over the next few weeks, you will see a wide range of things appearing on eBay, such as models painted for demonstration battles, books and games we have acquired over the years from a variety of sources, and models used for playtesting various games, some of which never proceeded beyond the initial design phase. They have been lying around, inactive, for some time, and it would be nice to know they are going to good homes where they might see some action on the table top!

There will also be some _very_ rare, _seriously_ one-off items that have served as prototypes for various projects.

In the current crop, we are displaying various Babylon 5 items, including the original Armageddon ship prototypes, and the Drakh fleet in its original paint scheme. Among all of this is lurking a 15mm scale Thunderbolt Starfury - only one of these exists, and it was prepped as a demonstration of how such models could work in either a ground combat or fighter scale game set in the Babylon universe. Some serious collectible value there!

You can find all of these items at the following link;

Keep your eye on this link over the next few weeks, as we will have all manner of other items listed, such as 1/144 scale tanks that were used as playtest models for the original Battlefield Evolution (yes, it was going to be 1/144 scale!), prototypes for SST v2 (including the Forth and maybe, just maybe, a drop ship), and some other things that are just plain weird!

Shakes head.

Im still confused on why this?Why drop A call To armes And SST?

Simple: They cost more than they bring money. Ultimatly that's always the reason. Mongoose understandably enough isn't doing charity out of their own pocket money so if product line gives you X amount of money but costs 2X then there's not much of a choise...They could keep paying the cost from their own pockets(assuming they are rich billionaires with nothing else to do with money) or stop the line.

It's $$$ driven world. If something creates losses it has to go :(
