There are 'mechs from 3025 missing miniatures?

Unless there's something in the fluff, I can't think of what it would be...

APCs and I think the Drone Carrier

Drone Carrier is there.
And they have Heavy APCs, just not standard APCs. I think those work just fine, but that's just my opinion..

Alex Keller · « **Reply #63 on:** 27 September 2013, 08:38:36 »

From 3026/3039 we're missing the Goblin, all three APCs, Engineering Vehicle and Ferret VTOL.

My mistake, it's TRO 3026 (from '87) that has designs never seen in mini form before. The "Fan Financing" Route will NEVER be an option for me again. I Funded the Thunderbolt IIC and was EXTREMELY disappointed with the end result. I'm NOT getting burned like that again! :P

Thank You So Much for your condescending reply though! O0

As far as I know, they made minis of all the 'Mechs from TROs 3025 and 2750. However, they still have vehicles from 3026 and 2750 that have never been made into minis, plus several Aerospace Fighters that are only available in the teeny tiny microscale, rather than the larger 'Mech Scale. Sure, they're Technically "Available", but they don't have the detail they would if made into 'Mech Scale either. :-\ While they never made the original APCs, I'm not sure how they would look much different from the "Heavy APCs" we've got. As far as I'm concerned, "APCs are APCs", so I'm not counting the ones from TRO 3026 as among the "Missing". Here's the lists I came up with earlier this year.

TRO 3026 Designs (Land and Aero)
Ferret Light Scout VTOL
Guardian Conventional Fighter
Planetlifter Air Transport
Engineering Vehicle

TRO 2750 Designs (Land and Aero)
Nightshade VTOL
Cyrano VTOL
Ahab (Mech Scale)
Hellcat II (Mech Scale)
Rogue (Mech Scale)
Tomahawk (Mech Scale)
Trident (Mech Scale)
Spad - 2-wing "Variant" (Mech Scale)
Swift (Mech Scale)

((The ones with (Mech Scale) after them ARE available in Microscale.))

Let's try to remember that, for every Unit YOU (Being the generic, all-encompassing use of the term!) like, there's 5 more people that don't, and vice versa. Me, I can do without Warships, Infantry, 99% of all BA, 99% of all WoB designs, and about 95% of all the Clan designs. I know I'm not alone, but I also know there's a lot of people that want every Warship that's ever even been mentioned in a BT product, regardless of whether or not it's even had stats made for it. :o ;D The sad thing is that IWM will NEVER be able to meet the demand of "Player X" for "Faction Y", until or unless they hire about three times as many sculptors as they've got now. I don't see it happening. EVER. But as long as they keep putting out designs I like, I'll keep buying them and supporting the company. O0

Next week according to the release schedule :)

Dragon41673 · « **Reply #69 on:** 27 September 2013, 18:08:49 »

Last months releases were VERY behind because of GenCon...just now shipping out (at least to me), I'd have to guess the releases for "the week of September 30th" will be somewhat delayed...but hopefully not too much.

speck · « **Reply #70 on:** 27 September 2013, 22:04:40 »

September release are pushed to October 14th, Just updated the Release Schedule Thread.

Daishi411 · « **Reply #71 on:** 28 September 2013, 01:26:37 »

This isn't even a surprise, IWM tends to be late with their releases, con or not.

Looks like there release schedule to GTM (Game Trade Magazine) shows the Atlas III, Cizin Hover Tank, Wulfen and the XTRO Marauder. {>{>

I've really been spoiled by the hobby these past few years; seeing stuff like the Thunderbird ASF and Ironsides, that I never thought I'd see.

I'd like to see everyone get what they're hoping for here. We have a great company backing us up and a rich background. Let's not forget that.

I hope people get what they want and If fan-funding comes back I want to help other people out. Let's be honest: We all have stuff with maybe a low obvious wide appeal that we want to see in metal.

What I recommend is this; when and if your favourite comes out; buy a few copies of it. All at once or over time and pay IWM back for the effort. Maybe that model was a risk and maybe it won't really pay off in the long run for IWM, so do your best and do your part if it's your baby you've been dreaming for forever. if you can afford it of course.

I am sure we have people here who collect and are more "one of everything" sorts. That's awesome. When I was a kid; collections like yours; painted or not and posted online made for hours of entertainment, just looking at the pictures and you know it makes you happy too. I'm just saying; if/when your white elephant/holy grail comes out; make an exception and order a lance or so.

Just my 0.02

I agree that IWM IS a Great Company, despite all the whining and crying people do about them. Even though it's currently "On Hold", I haven't heard of any other company that does a "Fan Funding" program. As I've said before though, I've been burned by that once already, so I'll NEVER participate in it again, if it ever opens back up. While I'm more of a Collector than a painter, I usually buy at least 2 of any mini that I like, sometimes 4. About 95% of my collection is Inner Sphere, but I've been known to buy the odd Clan mini (usually a Quad), and I've bought the LE/CE minis from the past 2 years, Despite some of them being WoB designs. The "AWESOME" factor of the Omega outweighed the "WoB Crap" factor in my book, and the Revenant is a good-looking Quad, so it also outweighed the "WoB Crap" factor for me. I'm not impressed by anything about the Gestalt, but it's a LE/CE mini, so I got a pair anyway. :-\ Other than that, I collect minis for how they look, NOT because of what "Faction" might be using them.

Incidentally, my last post used Sarcasm, NOT Condescension.

We are getting an update for the rest if the year today, yes?

Dragon41673 · « **Reply #80 on:** 11 October 2013, 10:45:50 »

Septembers releases were pushed back to the week of the 14th...they have again been pushed back to the week of the 28th. Unfortunately...the November releases have been pushed to January 2014.

Alex Keller · « **Reply #81 on:** 11 October 2013, 10:51:11 »

Ugh!!!! That's bad news. Well, thanks for the update, I'd rather know what's going on than speculate about why we never hear anything and week after week goes by.

Dragon41673 · « **Reply #82 on:** 11 October 2013, 10:55:18 »

Yeah, it sucks, but honestly...this is not IWM's fault this time around. Sculptors can only work so hard on a project, sometimes things get delayed. Really disappointed that there will be no Marauder or Wulfen for Christmas for me & my customers...but it is what it is.

An updated release schedule will be coming this weekend. Was waiting to get the all the information from Mike with how far ahead I can post.

Succession TRO Marauder, Hollander III, and Stinger IIC, just allow me to sign away my custody rights to the wallet and that will just cut to the chase.

With all that is out now and me trying to catch up on my collection, I don't mind waiting for what will eventually hit the shelves. Don't get me wrong, I'm a "Want it yesterday" kind of guy but some things you just can't rush. That and I have other expensive hobbies I need to feed! :D
