Jaguar Models question

[Mongo Mel]

Hi all,
Ive got a question for you all about the availability of busts produced by Jaguar Models.
I bought their Wild Bill Hickok bust from an on line retailer a couple of months ago. I just ordered 3 more (SS officer, Wyatt Earp and Robert E. Lee) that were discounted to just $8.99 each. Couldn't pass up thaose prices

Here's my question....
Are these pieces really out of production like the web site says?
I thought they were but when I did a quick search, I found that Jaguar Models has a web site offering them for sale (again?) at about $30.00 each.

http://www.jaguarmodels.com/

The Jaguar site is listed as having been updated as recently as 1/11/2008.
I thought that Jaguar had actually gone out of business.
Not griping that I thought I was really buying OOP pieces. I'm really just curious.
Either way, I got a good deal on them.
Thanks,
Craig

Craig,
I actually emailed them from the site just about a month ago. I asked about the availability of a particular bust and the response was simply, "you can order". I assume they are still there pluging away. I have heard, Not my personal experience mind you, that they are quite slow in responding. I don't know, I think I may have a wack-at-it soon though. HTH,

Thanks Jay.
At this point, I'm not planning on ordering anything from Jaguar.
I'd been searching for the Hickok bust for quite a while when I stumbled upon it on line and ordered it from Imaginaire.
When I saw the others available at that price yesterday, I decided to jump on them.
Too good a deal to pass up, especially if they were OOP.

Mostly, I was just surprised to then find them on the Jaguar site. I know that Squadron (MMD) had some of the busts listed but they must have only had a couple as they were sold out really fast. I think they may have come from the VLS buyout thing (wasn't that who they bought out recently?).
Anyway, this is really just a fishing expedition for info now.
Do you know if they had gone out of business (Jaguar)?
Thanks for the info.
Craig

I don't think they had ever really "gone out of business" per say. I think they are just quiet. Funny you should say that, the Hickok bust is the one I was inquiring about when I contacted them! I't's one of the Mike Good busts I feature on my "must have" list. I should try and order from them to see what happens! I'll let you know what transpires if I get around to it.
