I made it ReaperCon last year and noticed that the store sells pretty much the full Darksword line. Didn't notice any other lines of figures so it just made me curious what kind of deal Reaper had worked out with Darksword, especially since both have independant on-line stores?

Actually, Reaper has been known to carry several other lines in the Asylum store from time to time. This has usually been because the sculptor (or in the case of Darksword, the owner, Jim) have been there. I couldn't tell you what the details of whatever deal they'd worked out, but that is at least the why. ::):

I suspect that the Asylum just gets Dark Sword through a distributor

The Asylum usually has a pretty good selection of Freebooter from time to time as well.

Jim wanted paint, we traded for his minis. Pretty simple really. We like JIm!
