Paizo Publishing has announced a new policy that will take effect with the WizKids Rise of the Runelords miniatures, which are due to ship in August.  Starting with that release, Paizo will no longer sell the WizKids Pathfinder Miniatures to hobby distributors.  However Alliance Games Distributors, the exclusive hobby distributor of Wizkids (see "WizKids Goes Exclusive") has agreed to sell the Pathfinder Minis to other distributors starting with the Rise of the Runelords minis (see "'Pathfinder Battles: Heroes & Monsters' in December").

 

ICv2.com contacted Paizo Publishing and a spokesperson confirmed that this change will apply to all future WizKids Pathfinder Miniatures, which will only be available on a wholesale basis from Alliance.
