Nope, not yet.......

If the post is not from me, then nothing is an official announcement.

That would be more interesting in my mind than a jumping Atlas

In that case, I don't mind.  ;D

Frankly, another 28mm Battle Armor would be nice.  O0

I wouldn't want an entire chassis made a convention exclusive.  (Can't get a Calliope unless you go to a convention, for example).
A Charger -SB, Yen Lo Wang, or some other unusual/unique variant would be good.  Cyclops CP-11-B? :)

You could get close bashing the XR. Don't think we'll see another sculpt though.

OK, I actually only meant that for those that don't like the Jumpers. I don't mind them myself, but I know there's a lot of people that are sick of them, and I've also heard that this year's LE/CE mini Will Be another Jumper.   "Because they Sell."

Why do you guys cry so much about jumping exclusive mini's. It seems like a no brainer to me, Here we have the regular mini and for a con exclusive we have a jumping version. Seems like a slam dunk to me. I for one love my jumping thunderbolt. One day TPTB are going to say " well we are darned if we do and darned in we don't so we might as well not even do it" and I for one would not blame them.

Sorry if I seem rude, but can someone explain the distaste for jumper's so I can at least see someone else's point of view.
