Greetings to everyone... I do apologize for the inconveniences many of you have been experiencing. Originally, I had planned to retire some items along as I added others to the store (hence the "limited time" offers). However, due to the excessive downtime and other problems we have been experiencing, I will be extending these offers. I do know that a much better fix for these various store problems is currently in the works (YAY!), and hopefully soon these problems will go the way of Poser 2- gone AND forgotten. My sincere thanks to all of you for hanging with us. Your patience and consideration during this time of getting the store established is much appreciated! AND... there will be some exciting new additions coming to ThorneWorks soon! Thorne =};-}> (Is it ever too early for Holiday Candy?)

Thanks for extending the limited(?) time on your your figures. I am anxiously awaiting the problems solved. The Wraith

You're welcome! "Limited time" was going to be around 60 days, or two months, or about twice as long as the free ones! Straight up, no secret; this was in order to keep a fresh inventory of models rotated in the store as demand dwindles for the older ones, and also because of my own limited time, to keep my salable inventory down to a manageable size. Anyway, when I started this I was not aware of the current software limitations, so I will "freeze" this plan until such time as the store software is upgraded to handle foreign orders and hopefully becomes more reliable. I'm expecting this to happen very soon :o) I appreciate everyone's interest. I have some ideas in the (Thorne)Works for special offers and promotions, as well as other incentives and rewards for all my valued customers. More on this later! Thanks and Faerie Magick, Thorne =};-}>

I'm happy to announce that our Merchant Account has reported that the foreign ordering problem should be solved now. Thank you all for being patient with us as we worked through the many glitches in our Online Ordering System. If you've tried and haven't been able to order in the past because you live outside the US, please try again. Diane
