I've just seen that Little Corporal is no longer stocking the (metal) Lurkio range.
Presumably the range is now looking for a new home (unless it is going over entirely to plastic under PSC).

The initial licensing agreement is approaching its final period, so the owner of Lurkio, Simon Hall and myself have mutually agreed to go our separate ways. Lurkio is a big range which needs a lot of focus and commitment, which these past few months I have been unable to consistently provide."

The many complaints made to Lurkio about TLC was staring to damage Simon's reputation, so he took the decision to take them elsewhere.

Do we know who will be the new reseller? I placed an important order to TLC recently, transactions come through in general?

For those of you not on Facebook (or who are but who haven't logged on recently), this update has just been posted.
"Ahoy there me hearty's! There be a new pilot at the wheel.
At this moment there is radical restructuring going on behind the scenes in order to streamline and relaunch Lurkio.
In the short term the business will be relocating to new premises where it will revive manufacturing of the newer ranges.
A lot of the older moulds will need reconfiguring and some need replacing on the planned refurbishment.
Whilst all the boring bits take place by shadowy figures in darkened places, the existing stock is being audited and will shortly be available in a welcome back fire sale.
In the next week or so there will be some great figures at crazy prices so stay tuned.
Going forward I'll be working towards the restoration of the full range as well as a little Christmas present of two new ranges...
Lurkio is back."
