I was looking at my Thunderbolt today and was thinking that the missile launcher looked a little over sized.  I think when I get another one of these and the Thunderbolt IIc, I will take the Primitive Thunderbolt Launcher and put it on the ThunderboltIIc to deal with the fact that I think that launcher is too big and then put a Regular Reseen Thunderbolt Launcher on the Primitive Thunderbolt.  I now wish I would have gotten duplicates when I had the chance.

How the Hell did THAT happen?   :o  That doesn't sound right to me.  You guys that draw/design and sculpt them should get the FIRST ones of any Production run.   :P  You guys need to "Renegotiate" your contracts.  O0   Or "Payment Agreements" - whatever you call them.

The contract is called 'volunteering', which pretty much negates the possiblity of any official recompense. You get bragging rights, and the joy of seeing something you've created appear in physical form.

Quoted for truth.

Can't wait to buy a bunch of copies though. I just hope that she satisfies the unseen itch (and then some) for ole' Thunderbolt fans like myself... ;)

I haven't had time to assemble my own yet, but I did get a pretty good look at the sample on at GenCon. I can't speak for anyone else, but the miniature has pretty much replaced the unseen mini in my book.

When I get a second one, I might try modding it up with the little "hoses" and torso detail from the unseen as a TDR-5S, but only because it is present in the unseen art, not because I think your version needs it.

I will use this tread because my question is related to the thread´s theme, so, here it goes:

Is there any set date for the general releasing of the Primitives Pack? I looked in the IWM shop, but i could not find anything related to it.

The Primitives pack was a Gen-Con only item...the mechs in that pack are finally shipping to retail stores and are available individually.

Didn't they get shipped to retailers a month ago? That's what the schedule says.

My FLGS doesn't have it in stock, but they can get it from their distributor.
