I've also seen how the 1/72 figures disapear from the scene the last years. And if these figures no longer är seen on events, shoops and meeting's this hobby for sure is dying. To get interest from other people our hobby, figures and related products must be seen in public. Forum's on internet like this is not knew'n by most of people. They are just knew'n by (old) enthusiast's. If sellers and producer's no longer visit event's and market's they contribute to a process that will kill themselves and the hobby hiding in the dark...

Sorry for my late reply Andre B I totally agree with you. It is down to us the buyers to turn up and buy. The same goes for the few shops that are left in my neck of the woods there are more shops selling Warhammer (six shops) than 1/72 models and figures (2 badly stocked shops.} This can not bode well for our hobby.

I use the web for most of my purchases. I have moved away from Southern California where the excellent Pegasus Hobbies in Montclair, and Brookhurst Hobbies in Garden Grove are located. Living in rural Kentucky there is not a decent hobby shop that I know of in at least 60 miles, and probably further.

We may be a dying breed, but there are still plenty of figures to buy and I for one and looking forward to buying a lot more in my retirement.
