Sad News, Wait and see for "Figurines"

[Zastrow.cuirassier]

Maybe not the right place for this thread, but in the new, there is also the bad news!
Your favorite magazine, "Figurines" is in danger!
The owner "Histoire & collections" is in the process of being bought.
For some time now the press group and editing was in trouble.
Now it seems that two buyers are in the running.
The future ?
If the group is bought, there will be restructuring, less employees, and unfortunately fewer titles in the catalog!
Some books will no longer be sold or series will stop!
But above all, some magazines may disappear!
"WingMasters", "Steelmasters" and especially "Figurines" ....
And if the group is not bought, it will be filing for bankruptcy with the demise of magazines but also books!
We will be fixed in June.
I'll keep you informed !

That's indeed incredibly sad.It will be a huge loss for the modelling world.Wish I could stop it from coming to pass.

This is really a sad new, should it appens. Hope the magazine will survive

"WingMasters", "Steelmasters" and especially "Figurines" ....

I buy all three (though not every issue) and I would definitely miss all three. The Internet is great but I still enjoy sitting down and leafing through a mag.

This is sad. I had heard from a friend, that is was hoped that they would continue with Figurines, but we'll just have to wait and see.

I must admit I am not familiar with this publication. I stopped buying magazines 7yrs ago. .. Ok, maybe the odd 'Razzle',.. But hey!

Printed stuff is becoming more difficult to maintain. (Costs)

Sadly we may have seen the last of modelling books.
The last really good one was Cartacci's and that was years ago now.
I fear those halcyon days of the Windrow & Green books are a relic of the past. I do hope I am wrong.
