Any idea when we will see a new VTOL mini?

[Jim1701]

I was looking at the release schedule and realized that there weren't going to be any VTOL miniatures coming out this year.  Where's the VTOL love?   :'(

I second this.  (Especially since I helped fund the Sprint & its not on the schedule)

I don't want to alarm you, but there's 4 VTOL's on the Archive List.  Maybe this accounts for the lack of haste in getting more released?   ???  I've got 7 different VTOLs, and the Donar (which is Archived, but not one I own) makes 8.  When you Archive HALF of a particular type of vehicle due to slow sales . . .  :o  Well, it sounds to me like it's not very High on their Priority List, compared to 'Mechs, Aerotech Warships, Aerospace Fighters and ground vees.  Although I understand their reasoning, to release minis that will sell Well before those that will/may sell Poorly.  I guess, "Better Late Than Never" applies, right?  O0

I am fully aware of how many VTOLs are in the archive.  I would also say that there are a lot of tanks, mechs and aircraft in the archives and then say, so what?

There are also several VTOLs still in the regular inventory too.  I really don't think I am asking so much if one new VTOL per year showed up on the schedule.

I'd take a new vtol as long as it was more in the Warrior / Yellowjacket scale and less in the Hawkmoth scale.  It's more like Mothra than a vtol.

Gauss-zilla v Hawk-Mothra!  I demand it happen.

Given what TW did to Vtol rules I'm really surprised that they would sell poorly.
Then toss in the fact that they are an "air" unit that doesn't require a separate map to use them, and I'd think they would be quite popular.

I don't have a problem with VTOL's, so Please don't jump down my throat simply because I pointed out that nearly half of the ones they've got minis for are Archived.  I don't KNOW why they aren't releasing any, I'm simply suggesting a Possible reason.  I'm as "Out of the Loop" as you are about the Inner Workings of IWM.  I'm simply using the ""SWAG" principle to toss out a possible reason.   :P  My opinion in NO way expresses that of IWM, CGL, or that old dude that lives under the bridge.

I was looking at the Aeron for fan funding shortly before the freeze on it.  Maybe when the backlog is cleared, we can fund some VTOLs.

+1.  the Hawk Moth is way too big.

Not sure that will ever happen.  Sawbones' post made it seem like he might be done w/ that project forever.  And honestly, given the HUGE backlog we already have and the stuff that seems to be the priority (BF Scale mechs) right now, I think its a long way off before that backlog gets cleared.  I'd guess probably a few years away, sadly.

I'm not trying to jump down anyone's throat but I DO want to make the point that while some VTOL's sell poorly others do not.  As Hellraiser points out I would think that a Sprint would be popular as it is a superior spotting unit.  Same goes for the Ferret which is one of THE cheapest spotting units in the game. 

I would really love to see a Nightshade mini come out sometime as well.  There are some really nice variants for that unit too.   If fan funding were ever possible again (I know not likely) then this would be the one I would contribute for.  O0

Oh the Nightshade,  my favorite SLDF VTOL...........  /sighs whistfully
