OK..so: if I want an Overlord, I have to storm the IWM booth instead of the CGL booth?
You can try, but you are not going to find any. As of now the only map scale drop ships at gen con will be the two I mentioned above. The new supplier has not begun production yet.

And if you do something goofy like take prisoners and start demanding things, to the point where it impedes mini sales, some Con Goers might jump ya' and give you a butt whippin' !

Not ME of course. I'm talking about people that can actually Fight. :D But I'll be cheering them on! [watch]

;D

Please refrain from storming the IWM Booth until late Thursday afternoon, or early evening. O0

If your buying things, I don't think IWM will mind if you storm there booth.

Usually though, the act of "storming" a structure involves taking over and generally disrupting "Business As Usual". Thus, the Act of Storming the IWM Booth at Gen Con is NOT a Good Thing. #P If necessary, Darth Vader, Boba Fett and a number of Stormtroopers may be called in to re-take the booth. >:D Maybe even Darth Maul and Jango Fett, should they be available.

Hey! last two GenCons I went to, my friends and I stormed the CGL booth! Didn't disrupt anything, but trying to get the stuff we were looking for before it vanished from other people getting to it first? That was a lulu! Thankfully, unlike 2009, last year they brought PLENTY of Wars of Reaving and Runner's Black Book(verses the handfuls of Eclipse Phase, the 25th Anniversary artbook, and Strat Ops, which all sold out fairly quickly in 2009)

Speck,

Can you give us an update on the Overlord and Union? Is there any chance that some might be available in time for the Christmas season?

I will inquire about it.

Could we kindly get an update on whether IWM is still planning on releasing new resin dropships? Thank you.

Just sent the email asking for update.

Mike should hear something soon about the Union and Overload. Details to follow once I have them.

speck · « **Reply #69 on:** 28 December 2012, 18:27:02 »

Just a FYI, check the web store out later tonight for the return of both Overlord and Union. More details to follow.

Pure awesome

Speck...how tall are the 2 overlord drop ships?

Also...is the union correct at 80mm tall? That would be just more than 3" tall...so I would have to guess these are not mech scale...but map scale correct?

scatcat · « **Reply #72 on:** 29 December 2012, 11:55:31 »

Speck, are the new Spheroids resin shells with closed cell foam interiors? How many pieces are the bodies?

Between these and Catapults all I need now are Tonbos and my order completes itself.

They are one piece. I am waiting on some pictures of them from mike. I saw the rough prototype of them earlier in the year. They are one piece and made out of the closed-cell foam. It's defiantly not the same material as the old ones.

Speck...any word on my questions?

E. Icaza · « **Reply #75 on:** 29 December 2012, 17:52:17 »

I've been waiting a while for these to come back. Just ordered some and a crapload of BA. O0

So if the bits are pewter and the body is foam, what parts are resin? Is this foam similar to that used on the Mech scale Leopard dropship?

how readily available will the dropships be? I may not be able to place My order until late January. :(

I'm kind of curious about this as well. I was planning an order to be placed in a week or two myself. And If I can get me some dropships, all the better!

We got in around 25 of each. The ability to keep them in stock will depend on them filling mikes reorders. I have some questions sent in to him about them. But will not hear back until after New Years. I will post when I have more information.

They are Map Scale Dropships, I would say the Union is close to the 3 inch mark. I don't have a assembled Overload at my house, but they are around 5 to 6 inches tall.

Stormlion1 · « **Reply #81 on:** 30 December 2012, 01:27:47 »

How do they compare in scale to the old versions?

They are the same as the old resin ones. The production molds are made from the same master mold as the old ones. It's a completely new company that is making them.

Stormlion1 · « **Reply #83 on:** 30 December 2012, 09:59:55 »

OK, thanks, when you said one piece and made from a diffrent material I kind of thought there may be some small diffrence in scale as well.
