Here's the announcement by Topps on the WizKids site:The Topps Company is announcing today that it is closing down WizKids, its core hobby gaming business, and will be discontinuing the WizKids product lines for the immediate future. Topps CEO Scott Silverstein commented, “This was an extremely difficult decision. But in light of the current economic conditions, we feel it is necessary to align our gaming initiatives more closely with Topps current sports and entertainment offerings which are already being developed within our New York office.” WizKids is based in Seattle, Washington.
