Not sure if you shouldn't have switched the $1,600 and $2,000 rewards ;)

Pledged at the one-of-each level, but without signatures. These bad boys are getting painted.

I believe it was killed so they could do an official announcement.

I'm really excited for this. If rapid prototyping can result in better miniatures - perhaps even to a consistent scale - I'll be happy.

Damn my funding is tight for next month, time to try and scrounge some OT at work. Im gonna want one of each, and I don't care about being signed or special packaging. I just want LAM's!
I don't set an example for others. I make examples of them.

Will depend on how things go. I do have some ideas of what stretch goals could be but will have to run it by Marc.

Just a NOTE to all of the international fans that want to pledge on the LAM Kickstarter I have sent a email to Marc about solving the issue.

Check out the Annoucnement on IWM website for more details.


You mispeld "Announcement"!  COME ON!!!  Whatever happened to professionalism.

But hey, if IWM is going to keep stealing my money, at least I'll get some more WoB products to show for it!

On a more serious note, a couple of the rewards are a little unclear.  Super excited for this though!

Which rewards do you need clarification on?

YOU misspelled "mispeld"!   :D   He's actually done that a few times, now that you mention it.   ;D
To me, Repros are 100% Wrong, and there's NO  room for me to give ground on this subject. I'm not just an Immovable Object on this, I'm THE Immovable Object. 3D Prints are just 3D Repros.

Something to bear in Mind. Defending the BT IP is Frowned upon here.

Really not interested in this project considering that the other LAMS have been funded for awhile and not released.  Also 180 just to get the 3 versions is a little steep.  Some decent Kickstart incentives would really be nice, like store credit or bonuses for success.  Right now I see it only failing as is. 

No offense intended, just truth, IMO.

The ones that reference other reward #s, such as "Pledge $750 or more".

Just kicked money towards this project. I'm #10 on the $185 3X3 deal. Disregarding the ASF mode I can still field a Level II of LAMs.
( This will be fun- MWAHAHAHA!! )

My only complaint about this is there's no option to just get all three in their hybrid modes.

Or is there a way to do the $30 pledge three times and pick a different hybrid mode each time? Or is that pledge leve for the mech mode only?

Oh and course will these things be for sale on the IWM website once the production starts? I'm assuming yes, but someone's already asked me if these will be limited edition models so I figured I'd double check.
Other than that I'm already on board for this though I had to go with one of the cheaper options as my gaming budget for february is incredibly small. :(

I will check with Marc if a all Hybrid mode pledge could be added.

Per the Kickstarter page, only those who pledge will have the LAM's for 2013. They would not be release for sale on the website until sometime in 2014
